there are basically two ways of making ship images

[1] 3D modelling a ship, then rendering it at lots of crispity angles

[2] drawing out a ship (vector/raster) and skipping rolling images (the ones for when ships turn) and then adding lighting effects to make it look 3D

of course you CAN just open up MSPaint and draw stuff with the pencil tool, too

36 x 36 pixels or 40 x 40 pixels is standard ship sizes

use some kinda program like mspaint, photoshop or something else
make a image of said above pixels

then sprite/draw the ship look straight up

after that use SOS ship rotator program to rotate the ship
and there u have it: yer own ship

Back in my day, ships were only 32x32 pixels. And they had to be drawn up hill, both ways, in five feet of snow.

back in my day, we had to use nothing but 0's to code each pixel's color

Edit is good when you get compile errors because it shows you the line numbers, wordpad doesn't.
