Your work is really well done, even if we feel confused by the shape of the vehicles (especially the one on the left, it looks like a knight seen from the front).Hey guys! First post here in what feels like it might be years, lol, but I've been getting into pixelart recently and wanted to share something I made.
This is just a quick little spaceship design from an ASB near-future space western world, with more than a little inspiration for the "racer" variant designs being taken from Yugioh 5Ds of all places. The Esper-06FAL is one of the more recent Falcon-class spacefaring ships manufactured and employed by the Kasekesai Company, an independent megacorporation that controls a monopoly over most of Mars' resources and one of the strongest powers in the Triangle of Man. The POD is Operation Unthinkable gone hot, which led to more common use of nuclear weapons and, less importantly, less direct American control over Japan, and therefore a less Americanized post-WWII Japan in a lot of ways— even though "capital fever" still swept through the country as it recovered. Its economy boomed to the point that it grew its own economic sphere and became the economic juggernaut OTL's 90s feared. Kasekesai Co. is the end result of their extraterrestrial ambitions of the mid-21st century, given full autonomy after Earth's nuclear collapse. Since Japan was in close partnership with Oceania in its economic sphere, around half of Kasekesai Co.'s population is Australian and Kiwi, and its culture is a mix of Anglo Oceanic culture, Japanese culture, and a bit of wealthy SanFran refugees thrown in for good measure.
Known for its state-of-the-art retractable swivelgun (yes, those are conventional bullets), swift maneuverability in dogfights, and ability to switch between in-atmosphere and out-of-atmosphere flight with ease using its special retractable "dragonfly" wings, the Esper-06FAL is a state-of-the-art choice for anyone in the business of flying. While Kasekesai craft are only manufactured in one style and color, and private modification is generally frowned upon in "civilized" society, atmospheric rimracers (example in pink) and particularly well-to-do pirates (example in yellow) often do extensively modify their craft to fit their particular needs and stylistic desires.
Let me know what y'all think, and if you have any tips for improving my style, or if you'd like to see more from this world! I'm just getting started with both, after all

I'm starting to do pixelart too and I wish I had a tenth of your talent...
