serously will someon plz delete Hyperint's post.

I do not wish to be harsh, really I don't, however some of the images you guys are turning out are simplistic or horrid distortions of a wundervoll ships. You have to ask yourself if anyone is going to want to use:











Bright colors make the ship literally look fruity. Like Legos on a crisp morning at preschool.



So some words of wisdom to anyone that post in this thread, directly to Rage5566 & Hyperiant... Please look at the images you are submitting before you submit them.

Oh and don't forget that any Modifications you do now will be obsolete when Client 2 comes out-- hell they won't even be used. So my personal advice would be to stop posting period.

i did have a non inverted version of the resized space blue battleship design lolz which mind u thats what that inverted lookin design above the massif4 graphic is lol someware accept i might have lost it.

btw Sicuro ppl these days actualy are learning from ur graphics talent dude.

whats wrong with mine? it's more dark than bright...and its not used for anything else, either. That said, it does look a bit crappy ingame, but please, please dont compare my efforts the the Paint Squad?

EDIT: rage, shut up.

eh LOL DX sicuros right u know

EDIT: rage shut up

LOL ide be the one shutting up if i was u Demiser.

This one's acctually pretty sweet, Sicuro. >.>

I wasn't burning the images in a metal trash can because of disagreement. I actually went through and compiled a bunch of high contrast/bright/fruity colored ship images.

With proper techniques they look great but most of these are amateur edits which consist of nothing but poor filtering and/or adjustments of the hue, saturation, contrast, and brightness. Most of the images don't match the color palette/theme of the game and in my opinion are unusable.

I am by far innocent of my own charges. The following ships by me do not work in the game but were requested by people.. so I made them:

That is hawt, looks almost scaly. That could replace the icepicks as anaconda gaurds, easily. Or maybe a rare drop from anni, or a rare BP that anni drops to build it. Dunno what it would be used for, though. Besides, we already have a ton of ships that shape. Sorry, just bored waiting for DC to spawn, rambling.

That ship has been posted for over a year. So it is nothing new to anyone.

Who the heck made this!!! Wtf is it supposed to be?

heheh wat goes around comes around lol.

to Sicuro: those ship graphics are wat i call proffesional pieces of ship graphic art neatly done with so much detail lol to be honest i actualy like u Sicuro for ur talent XD i mean dont take this the wrong way but i do admire u aswell as everyone else does for ur graphic skills i mean as i said wat goes around comes around SS dosent always get ship graphic artists as proffesional as u these days XD and btw to Danger: heh that actualy looks like some potato head stuck half the part of a flyswatter ai and the back of a space blue alpha advance ai on the body of a DF XD anyways i actualy did and posted that resized version of that space blue battleship design for a reason.

Rage, PLEASE add more punctuation to your sentences.

And Sicuro, I make these mods for myself; when I think they look good to me (and let's face it, anything I make looks good to me, whether it be a steaming pile of cow dung or a piece that gives Da Vinci a run for his money--the latter being near-impossible) I post them here.

If you don't like them, I'm sorry; don't use them in your game. But I like my fruity ships in game. That's how I roll.

There was a time where this Modification thread and the one I made before it had a purpose. I haven't seen any truly inspiring modifications for months. The reason why all the good artist have stopped is because the images will be obsolete when client 2 comes out, so unless you can design nice looking low poly 3d renders... there is no reason to continue to make 2D ones.



Not sure what you mean by this. Either you are replying to how you yourself edit the ship images (which aren't yours to begin with) or the textures/tools you use. All I have seen from you and Rage are butchered ship images which the masses will not consider using. The only thing someone needs to duplicate the type of images you two have been dishing out would be GIMP and it's included generic rendering tools.

The only differences between the artist in the past 20 so pages and myself are the amount of time I put into actually considering what I am going to post on the fora and what I am not going to post on the fora.

The idea is to keep the ships looking like the original and using the same color palette.

honestly its to the point now where there are so many useless post in this thread that it should just be killed. Between the crap neon recolors and the how did you do that post this thread is mostly just junk. Fresh start would be good.

Also anyone wanting to do mods should really be looking into 3d. Well if c2 ever does make it.

Please please please listen to Sicuro.
