Hi! I'm Monstarules, a 19 year old Spriter from the USA. I saw your forum a while ago and I was captivated by a lot of the sprites posted here. I especially liked the missiles for aircraft becuase I was having trouble drawing them. I used what I saw here for inspiration for shading. I just felt like I should show what I was working on. If it looks like something similar to one of your aircraft, I'm sorry! I borrowed one of the color pallettes for a design for the engines.
These are space fighters not based off of anything but my imagination for my sprite faction, Task Force 100. I have a lot of other sprites based on a metal slug scale, because my sprites are a faction in a spriter community, and they battle in comics. I'll just drop some sort of imgur gallery link here. Warning! It's very messy and may have WIP items on it.
Anyways, link here:

Oh as for the comics, they're extremely violent, gory, and contain language possibly not suitable for the faint of heart. I will refrain from posting that as to not violate the rules. I like feedback and it is appreciated!
