Thanks a lot ^^ !
Happy that you like the retro look and ship designs,
i'm a fan of retro and in this project in more ways than one, pixel art was a given cause i feel there's a certain timelessness to the style when done right, and as a big fan of oldschool sci fi i like to design ships in a kinda "star wars-ey" way with that characteristic grimy look and that these ships have already seen quite some use already with scratches and astuff all over the colorful paintjobs.
Also cool that you find it calm and pleasant, thanks again for taking the time to check my entry out and commenting.
cheers :)
