Phew...
(That took some time posting all those ships again...Hopefully this will be a great resource for people for the future!)
PS :: If I forgot anyone's ship, please forgive me...
Anyway...
My votes...
1st place = Slight, "Devourer Class Heavy Fighter". I love the alien look of this one. As near perfect as you can get in my opinion.
2nd place = Santuria, "Low Flight Heavy Class Bombadier: LFHCB Land Destructor". I really like the shading and lines of this ship...Excellent stuff!
3rd place = Tonypa, "Plasma 3". I think this would look excellent in any pixel art based space shoot em up.

Wow! All really great entries = hard to choose a top three.

3rd goes to:

Tonypa's Torpedo 2.

For a simple, clean and in my opinion original ship. I love the retro vibe I get from it.

2nd place is awarded to:

PRadvan's Heavy Assault Fighter.

I like all PRadvan's ships, but loved this one cause it reminded me of the ship design from Aliens. Gives the feeling of a very gritty mechanical machine.

And 1st place (drum roll.....):

Slight's Devourer Class Heavy Fighter.

I adore the shading on this ship, and slights style creates really amazing alien ships. They will make perfect boss and enemy sprites.

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 ;)

Ali

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..

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.

1st :Nick Das, "Chenoa IV" : http://board.flashkit.com/board/

2nd:Dominicaninja, "Red Fighter" :
http://board.flashkit.com/board/

3rd:EgoAnt, "Alka Gavel" :
http://img121.imageshack.us/img121/1...fighter0jv.gif

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 :)

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.

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

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?

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.

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: :yikes: 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.

:thumbsup: 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.

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

2nd place:
Nick Das: "Chenoa IV"

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

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. :)
