Description I've been working on this on and off for roughly 2 months and I've finally finished! WOOHOO!

Bascially, I L-O-V-E SHUMPS and always wanted to make myself an Overkill -esque TDS fighter. Because of my lack of ability I was unable to render a left and right strafe frame for the jet, but that will be something to focus on for the next time

Image Info
Frames: 139
Speed: 30 FPS
Colors: 23
Individually Animated Parts: Over 20 (I can't remember them all XD)
Processor: Photoshop CS5

Well, now that you know the back story and the specifics of the image it's time for some made up, but plausible information! WOO!


NOTE: The below information was researched and cross referenced so to be as plausible as possible. If you see something that doesn't make sense or is impossible then let me know and I'll update it. I totally nerded out on this and I want it to be as believable as a futuristic space ship can be, lol.

Nebon-1X HPT Assassin
The Nebon-1X is an Elite Class stealth fighter designed to indefinitely incapacitate extremely high priority targets without being detected. Because of the resources required to build such an elite craft they are in very short supply and only sent out when they target's annihilation is sure to be significant.

It's small, fragile hull is compensated by a Class-9 light and matter disrupting ion shield. Though the shields primary function is cloaking it can be utilized as a quick burst anti-matter, anti-particle shell. The shell drains all available power from the cold-fusion engine, preventing blaster fire but protecting the ship from all but self-implosion. Due to the nature of the engine itself, the shield can draw from 2 emergency fuel cells in order to contain and disperse most damage should the core become unstable or subjected to a meltdown. The effect of this completely destroys any future functionality of the shield itself, but can prevent catastrophic discharge of the ship's cargo in an undesired location.

To quickly and efficiently destroy its intended target, the Nebon-1X is equipped with two high-density direct energy cannons and a two slot sub-nuclear missile silo. The on-board computer used to fire the cannons can regulate the energy used in each blast and significantly increase efficiency by reducing overkill. To further compact it's deadly arsenal the Nebon-1X features a custom built micro-factory to produce it's sub-nuke projectiles on demand. By storing the necessary parts and assembling them at their time of use the ship is able to carry up to fifty times the required physical ammunition needed to completely disintegrate any spacecraft. The time required to create each projectile does set its' rate-of-fire far below conventional pre-loaded missiles, but due to the nature of both the weapon and the ship, the available ammunition more than compensates for the reload time.

Well, I hope you all like it. Any critiques would be greatly appreciated as I am by no means a professional pixel artists and I want to improve any way I can. Feel free to leave any questions or comments below

Seriously, if you want to get good at something it's the best way I used to look at stuff like this and say the same thing you did. Well, now you see where I am

I actually wanted to use this in the future after I'm able to make games using Java or C++. Thanks for the comment, man! I'm glad someone liked it enough to stop and say something
