For those who like Star Trek, Churro, or both

Churro Sprite From NC
Original Star Trek sprites by Lord of nightmares
Kirk,Spock,Redshirt recolor and poses by me

If you liked the other comic you'll like this it's older

DarkZero · 11-08-2007, 05:18 PM

Impressive. Keep workin' on it.

MUSHMAN · 11-08-2007, 06:16 PM

Thanks, I was going to do a whole storyline but I didn't know if many people liked star trek, the Star Trek forum hasn't seen much action, If I finish it, I'll probably do it after my other comic.

^ I have this horrible problem when I hear the Star Trek theme songs I fall asleep. It's happened at home, my friends house, conventions, in the car... its bad. And people use it against me.

MUSHMAN · 11-08-2007, 07:17 PM

hmm could be a problem, which series themes?

Ya, Red shirts under the rank of Lt. Commander die(he's a Lt.).
When I make the whole story I'll put this in it, and explain why they are there

Edit:Even if I wasn't doing the Dark night comic I need to make more poses for my Star Trek sprites

MUSHMAN · 11-09-2007, 07:56 PM

-MusnMan

How's this for the ship, any suggestions?

MUSHMAN · 11-09-2007, 10:25 PM

Especially Enterprise.

^Just Weird

MUSHMAN · 11-11-2007, 08:53 PM

DarkZero you wanted me to do the rest of the Star Trek NC so I am.

I won't update this much as One Dark night because I'm going to finish that first.

**Dylan** · 11-11-2007, 11:04 PM

Merging with the other thread.

First:
Don't save sprite comics, sprites, pixel art, or anything that has flat colors, a limited palette, or pixel-level details that are important as .jpegs.
Second:
The ship. I know nothing about Star Trek, but I can still tell you the ship suffers from a lack of contrast. I struggled with this for quite a while too.
You use lots of shades everywhere, but don't make good use of them. The ship looks like a grey blob. The three shades of gray you use would be better off as one shade. They're very hard to tell from one another. See my replacement shades. (at the bottom is the energy blast from one of your sprite sheets; notice how with more contrast it looks much more like an energy blast)

See how each color is distinct? Of course, you can't just do a palette swap and make the ship look good. You have only three shades - a dark shade, a medium shade, and an outline shade. You need a light shade.
Also, your ship doesn't seem to have a lightsource, but what would it be? stars? That part doesn't really matter much.
Oh, BTW, the color ramps on the red and yellow parts of the ship could be made to have more contrast as well.

MUSHMAN · 11-12-2007, 03:50 PM

How is this?

MUSHMAN · 11-13-2007, 09:55 PM

Here's the next part of the story Part #2 -He's dead Jim!

Kenori · 11-17-2007, 09:38 AM

Wahaha! Good stuff. keep up the good work.

MUSHMAN · 11-17-2007, 10:38 AM

Part #3 It's life Jim, but...

yes I know my walking sprites need work

**Dylan** · 11-17-2007, 12:07 PM

For some reason, when they walk I think of this.

Not bad, though.
