Hi,
I haven't been back in a while, I've just re-drawn my sword and I'm quite proud of it, but I believe it still needs more work.

It is much nicer than your first one, but its too heavily saturated (mainly the blue handle with the red ribbon!)

Dawn, a thing with swords is that they have a small hilt. Currently it looks like a knife. Look at i's sword for an example.

I have to disagree with Leo. There are still some things you have to learn before your graphics are good enough to pass the graphical standards of tmw.

The blade uses a gradient fill. This is something you should always avoid when doing pixel art because it looks cheap. Try to select and place the colors manually.

The hilt is suffering from a very bad color selection. As I already wrote you shouldn't use full saturated colors like the yellow and the red you used.

But please don't be discourage. I am sure that you can improve your pixel art skill with some practice and by listening to the advice people give you.

Please do not send me any inquiries regarding player accounts on TMW.

I see huge improvement in your work. Now is time for some new lessons.
I remade your sword in serval steps. Hope it helps you.
And remember keep icon in 32x32px square.

Also I managed to correct some old mistakes in currently used icons made by me. For example black outlines in short sword - I have done it in 2005 using MS Paint. Now we got 2008 and Gimp ;)
