Hi there folks, yes I'm kinda new here, registered three days ago ???, and this is my first post
anyway, I did this little space ship for a personal game I'm making (practicing the skills), but I need some C&C on it, on how to improve this little fighter, especially the top when he goes to the left/right, still new to pixel arts...

thanks :)

I don't see anything wrong with anything, and I think the animation is good. I'm just wondering though, if it's a smart move to just flip the whole sprite, it looks like it has light coming from either side of it.
If it's for a game, I think it will suffice. Welcome to Pixelation. :)
BTW, post proggress please.;)

Glad that you liked it rabidbaboy ;D, the thing I don't like about the animation is how the front of the ship deforms, and how the back of the wings get bigger one frame, But I just saw this problem, so I could fix it, but I really dunno what to do with the front of it :(

Oh, I didn't really thought about the light, so that's why I just flipped it

No, no, you misunderstood what I meant by "post progress". I meant if and when you make a few more in-game sprites, post them here. For example, when you come around to finishing some enemy sprites, I'd like to see them too. ;)
To be honest, I see nothing wrong with the animation and/or lineart. I was just thinking you'd probably want a one-sided lightsource, instead of it seeming like there were two lightsources.
-
lol that's awsome. It actualy looks better than some space ship sprites I've played with in games....like that. And modern ones too, not just the oldie ones.
-
For the future, most shooters have the lighting at the front of the ship, so that lighting isn't a problem for flipping the sprite and the such.

Very miyamoto!! Why does it turn ???
-
Who's Miyamoto? ???
haha, just kidding ;), it turns when the ship goes left or right, I don't really like playing with those static ships with only one sprite when they move
but it's nice to see that I did a good job on it
Here's one enemy, worked on it a few days ago, I think it's finished (except the animation), but I'm not sure it's really fits the style of the spaceship

This is a great space ship sprite! The only thing I thought of that you could change is maybe, just a little anyhow darken the flames going out of the engine, by just a bit though not much.
