Spaceship Art tutorial

Angle

Spacenoth units use an angle to prevent the game from seeming flat and give it dimensions.

Creating your ship

My way of doing this is:

Create the entire outlines whih a brush tool, when I get something I like I draw it whih the pencil tool.

Then I fill it whih colour (the one I wish it to be! In this case dark green.)

Let's say that the gray part is where window will be...

So this is what we get:

Then we add some details…

And now comes the most difficult part… shading.

In other words give ships shadows, to make it look more real. The best way to do this, is copying from existing ships.

This is how our ship should look whih good shading.

Tips

There should be no dark lines on the corners of a solid facing towards us - those edges/corners should be bright.

Generally each of the major sides has a slightly different luminosity than the others. Sometimes it doesn't.
