Re: Sunglasses for the game
Hey, seems like you used my sunglasses as a reference I can tell by the tip of the heart, I think it would be best to make them perfectly round
Other thing, you really have to remove the background, it has to be transparent. I advise you to use a contrast color on your background, such as this green when you are working, it will really help you to see which parts of the background you need to remove.
A third thing, I think I used true black on my heart shaped glasses but people told me not to, and at the time I couldn't see why, but i can see it now, please use shades of black instead of pure black (cause it does not go well with the rest of the art in tmw).
Keep it up we all start by small things oh, and maybe someone could move this topic to the graphics section

It depends on the graphic editor you use. When it's MSPaint: It can't do transparency.UntamedMonkey wrote:Im not exactly sure how to make the background transparent

Re: [WIP] Sunglasses for the game
Start from this. I just cleaned your work, nothing else. You should use GIMP when doing pixel art, it is free and very easy to use.

Ali-G removed the background and some unnecessary pixels (I highlighted them on the attached picture) that were ruining the shape of your glasses.UntamedMonkey wrote:How about these?

I also pointed out the light direction (the white reflex is wrong, I think....yeah yeah, maybe we need to fix the heart glasses too)

Re: [WIP] Sunglasses for the game
I tested these using heart glasses xml and that works fine, also the highlight on lens looks pretty darn good.
