Hey, seems like you used my sunglasses as a reference :P I can tell by the tip of the heart, I think it would be best to make them perfectly round :wink:

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.

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.

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) :mrgreen:

I tested these using heart glasses xml and that works fine, also the highlight on lens looks pretty darn good.
