Spaceship Design
 
For a game. I also made the game's gui.
Everything in the design is original. The ship image is print quality at 20x20in 300dpi. Thoughts are always nice :)

I would recommend that you pay more attention to concept art of spacecraft, as well as movies or games which contain them.

What do you mean ?

Well, take parts of this as an example. The key point of concept art (Or any art, I guess.) is to focus on certain aspects of a work, and ask yourself "How could I integrate this part into my own idea?" The point is not to try to copy the work as a whole, but rather to take ideas of how certain things might look or function, and apply them to something else.

Well that's all well and good. So you think my ship is to simple ? Or doesn't resemble a ship ? Or just what, exactly ? I'm not really sure what you're getting at.

It's a bit too simple. It could really use a bit more detail, because as it stands it looks like a ship straight from The Jetsons.

Although I agree with you, I already spent my budgeted time on it, so meh. It's done :P

I disagree.

Nah, it's a problem with the design - not spelling.

Do tell, I'm blind to my own work.

I'll give you another hint - it has to do with information, and the priority thereof.

The comma after "More Info?"

*sigh*I was hoping you'd guess it - it'd stick with you better.

Anyways, the information you have about the game or w/e it is... it's light gray text on a gray background. Make the priority of the element very low (to the mind). I suggest setting the background darker so that the "SPACESHIP" isn't the only design element jumping off the page.

Ah, hah I didn't notice that until I went on a holy quest to find it. On that part I was saying you need to improve, down the bottom.

Em 04-13-2007 07:17 PM
revised..

Still looks like a vacuum cleaner D:

Just the end of the nose, maybe make it pointy?

Hmm.... Gui looks nice but I cant say I like the ship design. Just looks odd...
