[WIP] Spaceships

[Oltar]

Ok I think itīs finished  . I change the red pallete for the pallete that Ptoing used on another post (http://www.wayofthepixel.net/pixelation/index.php?topic=7078.0) and added some black and dithering.
CC are apreciated.

looking at the left wing, do you really need a highlight on the "grey" area ?
My feeling is that if you instead had a shadow there, it would be more suggesting that grey parts are thinner, maybe some deathly/pheary blades.

i'm also undecided on whether dithering improves the piece or not.

Thank you Pype for the comments.
Touched some pixels, I think itīs better.

Ok new update, retouch some pixels of the ship and make some items, and shoots.

i'd even go with something like this:

(trying to keep within the 15-colors constraint)

I actually like this version a lot better:



It looks like the reinforced metal plating is a special custom option for heavy combat!

If the gray parts are flush with the rest of the ship as it appears in the latest version and PypeBros's edit, it just looks like a paint job. To make them look thinner than the rest of the wings I think would only serve to make the ship look weaker. (Plus, it doesn't make sense from a technical/practical standpoint.)

hmm .. so the grey things would be additional blindage ? ...
that could give the initial graphics more sense, indeed.

Mine edit:



The shading seemed off, so i tried to fix that. Also, remember that if your game will be displayed on a consistently dark background you can take advantage of that to anti-alias the edges some....
