actually the second has given me an idea for a cool beam effect. is green (0, 255, 0) transparent in effects as well? I think it would be....so by using different tiles you could have those things "moving" as in a particle accelerator beam. anyway...good job TVWP guys. both pics rock.
I don't think that's the mustang in the first pic. i don't feel like checking, but was the cockpit in the mustang more rounded than that? If you've read the X wing series then you know what an "ugly" is. The mustang looked to be inspired by a TIE fighter cockpit and Y wing nacalles. Loosely inspired by it, but that's what it reminded me of, i don't think that's a mustang in pic 1. That being the case...there is a mystery in pic 1.
