Well, I just spent the afternoon looking through your slides and gave it a go with maybe my favorite design from the 'Trek universe, and I'm honestly pretty happy with the result. The proportions aren't quite perfect, but I'd say its a pretty good representation. Maybe a little excessive on the highlighting. I stopped reading your slides about half-way through as my imagination started taking over, but this tutorial definitely got me started off right.
Hey Kananesgi. Thank you for your honest review, I appreciate it. I'm happy to hear you didn't even need to watch all the presentation. The ship looks good, it's definitely something I would use. Anyways, I wish you good luck with your projects and keep practicing, since that's the only way to perfection. :)
I stopped the slides partly because I have some background in image editing already. I've just never done pixel art before, and was feeling a bit overwhelmed on where to start. I'm also not an artist. I can manipulate images and do what some people call amazing things with them, but when it comes to drawing something from scratch, I'm barely above the finger-painting skill level.
