I can't draw a single other goddamn thing right today so here's a spaceship
This fast transport vessel is registered to Lai Dai Shipping. It has been retrofitted with hardfield projector arrays around the main engines to allow it to operate in Atmos without causing fires.

Thank you! :D

And I guess I'll try that. Absolutely fantastic spaceship by the way, it's great! :D


Welp, for my storefront I thought I'd do something for it like a moving banner. I asked Purpelia if he could help like, making it slide or fade each frame like the real ones on websites, though the problem with that is skyrockets the size to 10MBs, and NS doesn't let you interact with flash stuff. :(

MS Paint is babby step. Is what I used at start. You should've seen some of my earliest spritesheets and the fucktons of copied and pasted stuff on those, all results from me making "checkpoints" in pixel arranging.

But yeah. I'm on Paint Shop Pro, but Paint.net will probably do just as well if not even better if you've got the patience to get used to a new program.

I myself do not, which is why I'm not on Paint.net yet. Perhaps after the next fatal PC crash.

Saving often does not help you when you accidentally over your drawing.

Making a fuckton of copies of the same drawing on your canvas at different stages of progress saved me a lot of times.

Another morning scene done. :)

Image

Near Paragania there is a part of it called 'Hell's Swamp' It is the deepest and largest swamp land ever discovered. Everything living in it is evolved to kill. If you were to walk in it without proper protection you'd be dead in less than 20 minutes due to horrible mosquitoes, almost toxic air, and terrible creatures and dangerous terrain in it. However, in the very center of the enormous swamp, there is alleged to be a rather stunningly beautiful vegetation grown over, and the air is supposedly even breathable in the near center of the nearly continent sized swamp land.

The picture you see above is of two Paraganian APCs, crossing near the very start of it all, since no vehicles can really go traverse the actual swamp.

Hey, thanks!

Well, animating is a tedious task. I've tried it before, but I've never gotten very far. :(

But, I can do this using Depthy which I believe achieves the effect you're describing:
