Title: Shoot em up Spaceship [WIP]
Post by: GormenGhast on June 06, 2010, 05:28:05 pm

Hi guys - making a shootemup, attempting to make some ship designs. I'm finding it pretty hard, and here's an example of the main ship. I've yet to do the cockpit section, but I'd love for you guys to let me know how to make it look better. To me it looks totally awful, so any advice would be appreciated!

If anyone has any comments that would be cool. I really need some C+C... I guess what I'm looking for is a kind of raptor/tyrian hybrid.

Hi!

Here is what I feel:
Seems that your wings look like bird wings (too much whitey probably). That could be annoying but it depends on the general graphic ambiance you'd like to transmit with this shootem'up attempt.
Cockpit is absent, yes.
Too much close range colors, narrowing your color count could improve sharpness and remove the feeling of blurry colouring.
Eventually, Perspective seems wrong to me, It feels like the lighting of the back dont match the lighting of the head.

Good luck with this!

Thanks for the feedback, Anarkhya. I'll give all those points a redoing :)
