Well, I think it could use some more contrast, so make the darks darker and the lights lighter. I don't recall exactly, but isn't Sylux's ship supposed to be metallic? You want really high contrast with metals. Again, I'm not the best at picking colors, so I'm struggling to say exactly what's wrong with them other than they seem off, dull almost.


ah I get what you mean. I think they may be too plain and at the same time somewhat glowy if that makes sense and that's why they don't look right. that and the contrast is too low as you said.

wow. that's a really fucking good Delano. hopefully, with enough practice, I can get that good. for a sprite of the Delano 7 that is probably as good as one can get so could I use it, please? also thank you for the pointers, I will bear those in mind in the future.

as I want the Delano and Sylux to fit together in the way Samus and her ship do I have changed Sylux's pallet to the Delano's one and it looks much better. here is a pic of your Delano above the newly colored Sylux.https://ibb.co/k185tQ

Yeah it looks like the model's shading is pretty consistent too (with a light source coming directly above it). Good catch.

Just made a quick edit. Don't even remember what he looks like.
Didn't fix all the shading but the lightsource is now above him and I played around with some of the colors a bit.

When you're working with small stuff like this you really should try to zoom in and out a lot. It's possible that stuff that looks OK when zoomed 800% will look like a mess in 100% or 200% if you try to cram in as much details as you can.

My advice is to work with less details and focus more on visibility.
