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

Moved from "Feedback" to "Graphics Development"

How about these?
Im not exactly sure how to make the background transparent, so if you can help please comment.

How can i test this in the game?
if you can help me please reply

It depends on the graphic editor you use. When it's MSPaint: It can't do transparency.

This guide explains you how:

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. Regards,

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)

Plz let this glasses look like Samuel Jacksons glasses at matrix! This glasses look old school but cool too!!! o-o It would fit the style of tmw (maybe some glasses 4 termin?) perfectly...

Nice!
The moving xml works for theses as well =]

Although some people would like to be able to wear them when sited as well... I heard that in game too

so this idea was good?

I like it it looks really cool .

Why so surprised?

it just needs a little bit more work

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