Adam: Well, now it just looks very cliche. Have you ever played Zone of the Enders? An aura surrounds the main character when he is flying and what not, showing the force of his movement; that is what I was trying to imitate. You may be interpriting the shape wrong, which is more understandble.
Adarias: ... Dude ... play Einhander. It doesn't thrive on pallete variation and clear visuals. All shmups aren't bright and punchy.
Turbo: Looks fine, to me.
I've tried lightening the ships, but i'm not satisfied with the outcome. This is a mockup which is not really intended to mock; its just art. I don't intend to make it a video game from it. I'm taking this in my own artistic direction, whether or not a bullet wont "catch your eye" or a bullet "doesn't look evil." I wanted something dark and shadow-like (similiar to Einhander), despite how it would affect the player, because he/she wouldn't exist.
