I love that player ship. Reminds me of some form of vicious hound, snapping at a threat.

you guessed that right it's codename is Cerberus and is fueled by one of the games alien-lifeform, called omnivore... here's a so called "alpha-omnivore" ... it could be considered the engine and the soul of the ship ( actualy it's the essence of all enemies in the game, but well... )

currently creating quite a bit for a vertical shoot em up... putting all content in one topic rather than many...

some nebula for the space-themed stages; the upper part needs some work... the lower nebula is pretty much finished, I guess


some background stuff for the asteroid-belt level... still needs more large platforms and some shoot-able foreground asteroids.


current player ship with all animations... I'll probably add more animations, as the ship should look "alive".


planetary jungle stage... pretty early in development... currently just some dirt texture; really need to work on it.

I'm a girl... :O
I already colored these lines, but in case someone else wants a go at 'em.

YUS! i looked at your avatar and thought, what nice slender forms it had... so I just had to take a go on it.



IMO it just begged for loose socks, so I gave her a sailor uniform...

great art in here!
might as well join in...

rather fast concept... especialy the coloring, but it does get the job done...
the powersuit (and pilot) are infected by an alien organism called omnivore
done for the "Dominance war 2"... the contest ends in a few days though,
and I'm to busy to do a full fledged model with normal map and other maps, so it will not be finished on time...
I will complete it anyway, for my portfolio, some day.

@ willfaulds: looking good! I like the overall design, though it's hard to make out the forms in some spots.
@ Adarias: Lovely colors there... I agree that the face looks a bit flat, but I guess that's ok.

Thanks for the feedback, guys!
@ sharprm: I dunno about the in sync glow... I kinda like the glow, the way it is.

@ mangust: Edited the parts you suggested...

@ junkboy: It's not the final boss, It's a normal enemy... though it only appears once in the level. The selout does indeed look a bit rough on the forum's BG... The ingame tiles are pretty dark though, and it does work there pretty well.

Here's an update... redid the leg-animation, because someone at pixeljoint pointed that out... though I'm not entirely happy with the current result...
I also animated the belly-hatch, where it will constantly drop mines.

here's a version with the mine:


and here a version without the mine:


and here's the mine it drops...forgot to add transparency, but what the heck... Also, only the first 3 frames are the idle-animation, the other frames are the "I'll explode soon"-frames, when the mine has been hit by the player's shots.
