Re: Sword
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.

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

Re: Sword
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.

Re: Sword
Why not just look at the nice examples that Irukard posted, on the first page of this thread?

Re: Sword
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.

You might have heard a certain rumor about me. This rumor is completely false. You might also have heard the other rumor about me. This rumor is 100% accurate.
Re: Sword
I see huge improvement in your work. Now is time for some new lessons.Dawn300387 wrote:I just studied i's sword veeeery carefully. :D
Edit: made the handle longer.
I remade your sword in serval steps. Hope it helps you.
And remember keep icon in 32x32px square.
and another quick tutorial/reference 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 ;)
