i'm in the early stages of an airship sprite. i wanted to share what i have thus far for some feedback. inspiration comes from the cargo ship (FFIX).

I approve. That's a really sleek use of the RTP. All I can suggest is to change the propellers to a "blur" instead of a solid shape, because it'll make it look like the propellers are spinning faster.
believe it or not i began with a blur, but being that the propellers are only two pixels wide there wasn't much room for the effect to apply. to say the least, the result was undesirable from my perspective.

that's what the RTP is for, guy ;).

i only took the default vehicle sprites for use.
i made the propellers, the wires, and the beam supporting the props from scratch.
A blur effect wouldn't so hard. Use an animated cartoon with a similar effect as a point of reference.

Also, placing the sprite on the left 1 pixel below the middle sprite's height, and the sprite on the right 1 pixel above the middle sprite's height will create a better floating effect.
