Help with my spaceport!
on:
February 16, 2010, 01:20:29 pm
This is the first time I'm doing pixelart this is the result I got. Something of a space station but I ran out of ideas pretty fast...
Putting this up here for some comments and ideas as I'm really new at this. What would you guys change/add? Is the shading ok?

There must be things wrong with it? I'd really like to know how you choose the palette so you can make it look like it has many levels and still have the shading right (not mix up or run out of colors). Thanks.

It doesn't really look like a spaceport...

Is it a structure that's on the surface of the planet, seen from the above, or does it orbit a planet in space? I like the pixel work, and the clean shapes and shades so far, I just can't figure out what it is.

Yeah, it's something stationed in space looked at from directly on top
I can see why it must be difficult to make sense of since there isn't much detail to go with. I tried to make it look like today's space structures, sort of hacked together. I was trying not to follow the Dodonpachi style as it gets really cluttered and difficult to keep track of, but I'd really like to give it some of the detail you get from that style. Still keeping it very simple. Any suggestions? Thanks

Alrighty then. A good non-Dodonpachi -like reference for inspiration might be
Uridium
. I'm kind of itching to see it against a dark space bacground.

Hey thanks, that big ship and the general style is what I was looking for. I like the simplicity, just have to make it a bit more contemporary looking. Know any more such games? I'll see what I can do about putting it against a space background

Well I made some changes and then put it against space itself! Here's the result:
Still seems off. Any thoughts?

Whoa. Are you going for a purely pixel art submission, or a hybrid that uses non-pixel art and pixel art?
Given the non-PA background, the image isn't obviously going to be PNG/GIF-friendly.

Hehe, no, it's part of a game. I'm hoping to make the artificial stuff (ships etc.) as pixel art while the rest of the environment (space etc.) is kind of photorealistic. A hybrid, yes. I put it up here for scrutiny regarding whether or not it actually resembles a space station and what kind of changes should be made
