Title: Opinions/Critique?
Post by: Noba on August 08, 2017, 07:35:54 pm
So using the tips/advice and critique on my last post I came up with this spaceship for the game I'm working on. It's meant to be a sort of cargo ship, and done using simplistic shading/colouring. Can anyone give me some advice or critique on it?

One obvious thing I can think of is making the larger engine's front end fit flush with the spaceship more, since it sort of just "stops" now.

Can you please give the full Image without doing screen shots

Upload your image (PNG) here : http://imgur.com/

And I'll try to check what can be changed and about your ship I guess the shading must be a little bit darker and the center Silver (engine) is more extended than your engines so the background of this Silver engine try to shade it a litle bit darker you know the shadows

Ah, sorry about that. I can't show just the picture since it was exported in gamemaker, and that's meant to be an er... What do you call it? A door. Basically, since it's a cargoship, although I may get rid of that entirely.

Thanks for the advice so far though!

I'm sorry if I offended you I do not know much about ships and I thought the tip would be the door for the boxes and the main door for the crews.

And about the main doors (of course this silver one on the center ;D) I think it should have lights like you know. In night you need to deliver a really important package and you need to see door, about a shading use darker Orange (use 4 or 5 shades or orange test it)

Oh no you didn't! I ended up getting rid of the whole thing anyway and making it a lot smaller, also added a few more bits of grey to break up the orange:

I feel that the colors you used are way too similar and lacking in contrast. It is also lacking texture, maybe you should give it contrasting highlights near the glowy buttons and the fire so that the sprite does not look as flat.
