Looks a bit too smooth and could use some non-orange outline parts too, like red or purple ones.

Really nice, I consider it perfect enough shaded to use, some teaser about control way?

Resized and put into palette

Tips please , they are the size of a vanilla bunker module (96 x 96)

They need more conical shading, as of now, they look like paper cutouts. Some darker colors might suit them well, but that's my opinion.

Your shapes are using anti-aliasing.. HORRIBLY BAD to do that, well with the outlines that is. fix em up so they have a bit of a rougher edge so that they dont have a weird pink outline ingame..

Fixed the anti-aliasing a bit
darkened the colours

How about you do it by hand instead of anti-aliasing at all. It helps if you do things pixel by pixel.

In games like Cortex Command you never know what's going to be behind the image, so you can't really use AA beyond the outline. (If only we had transparency...)

You shrunk the image! Now it should be easier to polish it and improve it.

The colors jump from yellowy-orange to orange in the farther back flowers, is the a color change of some kind?

Added more outlining, I think it's pretty much done now.

Bottom two are the latest ones. I might add some camo effects.

I used a program to resize the original so the AA is a bug that I'll try to fix



Yeah that kind of happens when the palette doesn't have a in between but I could change it back to the original colours

Thanks for the help so far
will update the new less , jump to orange sprite

EDIT : there is no in between , I hate this palette

Any suggestions on how i would sprite engines to match this?

Why not just make the boxy bits at the top the engines?

Hmm, i will have to find a way to make it rotate now.
edit: without it looking awkward.

Don't make the engines rotate, just make invisible emitters with visible jets so the thrust rotates.

That would work.
Now, changing the subject, does it look alright?
