[alillm]

Very hard choice.

3rd place - McLelun
Really simple, but yet i cant see anything that could be added. Nice style too, looks like a toy

2nd place - Nick Das "Chenoa IV"
Very pro looking, great shading, and i love the electricity.

1st place - Slight "Devourer Class Heavy Fighter"
No competition here. This is simply perfect. Soo detailed and the shading is awsome.

Great work all. The decision was very difficult. There were at least 2 other ships which i almost put as 2nd and 3rd. TheHumanChimp should be most proud though, a lot of work obviously went into that. I would have voted for you, but i think that you might have just done a bit too much shading. Very nice though

1. Dominicaninja's "Red Fighter"
2. Dominicaninja's "Ion Phalanx"
3. Pointguard's "The Pheonix"


Why does everyone type my name with a capital "C"?.. I have my name everywhere like "Ironclaw", on my site, forum, letters.. everywhere. but still, when someone send me a message, chats with me - whatever, they always type "IronClaw". very few people type it right.. oh well..

[mclelun]

1st Missile Frigate - Scorpion Class Fighter - it is sexy, isnt.
2nd Mclelun - NoName Toy SpaceShip - it is my only entry, i must support it myself
3rd PRadvan - Missile Frigate - very oldskool look, remind me of old computer games.

[fil_razorback]

1st :Nick Das, "Chenoa IV" :

2ndominicaninja, "Red Fighter" :


3rd:EgoAnt, "Alka Gavel" :

I choosed the Chenoa IV and the Red Fighter beause of their colors that are incredible and the Alka Gavel beacause of its overall looking

[slight]

1. McLelun's unnamed - clean and simple, great design, good depth, interesting method.
2. Dominicaninja's "Ion Phalanx" - again for design and depth.
2. Nic Das' "Chenoa V" - beautiful shading, interesting design.

Hard to pick only 3, there's a lot of good ships up there.

[thehumanchimp]

OMG WTF?!?!?!?!?!?

why hasn't anyone voted for my masterpiece?!?!?!? you disgust me

ok,

1) "Red Fighter" - Just looks brilliant.
2) "Crimson Mercury SE-C" - kinda cartoony and sweet
3) "Multipurpose Utili-Pod" - really like the shading

[happinessSam]

1st EgoAnt -Alka Gavel
2nd Slight - Ship A
3rd Pointguard - Small Stealth Fighter

They're all great though. I so meant to get my thumb out of my arse and submit one, but laziness prevailed...

If I wanted to use any of these in a game would it be the usual non-commercial credited thing or is there anything else?

[LeechmasterB]

1st Nick Das - "Chenoa IV" Quiet alien looking and nicely shaded.
2nd Slight - "Devourer Class Heavy Fighter" Real nice done, reminds me of wcIII.
3rd Dominicaninja - "Mantra Patrol" Great design and shading.

[Dominicaninja]

3rd place:
me: Ion Phalanx: I think my idea came out just as how I originally thought it, and I like the way the colors worked out.

2nd place:
slight: Ship A: Very nicely detailed and reminds me of a creature from the Metroid universe.

1st place:
slight: Devourer Class Heavy Fighter: My jaw literally dropped when I saw this and I am still amazed at the attention to detail. Once again I thank slight for sharing some of his pixel drawing methods with us.

Great job everyone I'm impressed at the amount of different ships y'all were able to come up with. If I had a 4th pick it would be Nick Das' Chenoa IV, really love that one too.

[Xploder]

3nd place:
EgoAnt:
"Crimson Mercury SE-C"

2nd place:
Nick Das: "Chenoa IV"

1st place:
slight: "Devourer Class Heavy Fighter"

[gaming monkey]

3rd - Tonypa, Torpedo 2. Simple and original, wouldn't look out of place in a game.

2rd - McLelun. Smooth, nice and clean.

1st - Sligh, shipA. Intricate design yet highly recognisable and very clear.

Kudos to all.

[Kakihara]

Ok I didnt enter the contest because well I suck at art in general but im guessing im allowed to vote so here goes:

3. Tonypa's Plasma 3

I really like the unusual colour code

2. Slight's Ship A

Im a big fan of dragons and well it looks like one

1. Slight's Devourer Class Heavy Fighter

Do I need a reason?
Ok I peed my pants when I saw this.
Good enough?

I think everyone did a great job and if I ever want any pixel art done I need look no further than the people in this thread.

Great job.

[nick_das]

1. Slight's Devourer Class Heavy Fighter - Brilliant. Very menacing!

2. Dominicaninja's Ion Phalanx - I like the greek reference here, both in name and style

3. McLelun's (No Name Given) - Smart and simple.

[PRadvan]

Thanks to everyone who voted for me. I honestly didn't expect anyone to vote for my ships after I've seen all the great entries.

3rd place:
Dominicaninja...
"Red Fighter"
Also a very detailed and cool looking fighter. I like the colors.

2nd place:
McLelun...
(no name given)
So clean and so simple. Great entry. I was debating wether to give this one 1st place or Ifritt's ship. I picked Ifritt's as first because it's just a little more detailed.

1st place:
Ifritt...
"Multipurpose Utili-Pod"
This is a really original entry. I really like it. Exellent example of pixel art


Honorable Mention:
EgoAnt...
"Crimson Mercury SE-C"
This ship looks fast and cool. I like it. It also looks like it belongs in a retro pixel game.

I really like Slight's ships but I didn't vote for them because I don't consider them pixel art.

According to wiki and other pixel artists, they're not:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pixel_art

He's an amazing artist but, I'm sorry, his ships are just not pixel art.

"Devourer Class Heavy Fighter" is also more than 100x100 pixels along with some other submited ships.

Adi4X's "Greenpower 709" & "DeathShipX" aren't even close to pixel art. He did a lot better with his latter entires.

Sorry to be a party pooper but I needed to point these things out.
