Just a thread to post sprites i am making to show my development over time :D critique is welcome as i am just starting and would love to hear things to help me out. Not really looking forword to the flamers out there though but thats unavoidable haha! Enjoy guys/girls!

First is a water sword. It is supposed to be the inventory shot of it.

ZOOM

Sabre.

ZOOM


Sabre, with a flame graphic. Wanted to give it a type of "power-up".


ZOOM


Flame sword, i know ive heard some people talking about how they dont care for the new graphic for the IS, so i decided to give it a shot ;) NOT SAYING I DID A BETTER JOB THEN WHOEVER MADE THE NEW SPRITE I JUST WANTED TO VOICE MY IDEA :D PERSONALY I LIKE THE NEW GRAPHIC ;) Enjoy.

ZOOM

War Hammer

ZOOM

Katana

ZOOM

War Pike

ZOOM

Battle Axe

Zoom

Axe, sorry no zoom of this one :/ it wouldnt work right...


Alright so i wanted to give spriting a new approach with Delicious giving me alittle more of a guide and this is what i came up with, hopefully its alittle more fine tuned. It's supposed to be an old "Dynasty Era Chinese Monk stick"

Alright so now is a crude little Slingshot... I admit i think i could've tried alittle harder with this one and will probably resprite late.


2 New daggers i tried with this new technique i tried to grips so tell me what you think!



Okay, I think this has been my best attempt yet, tell me what you guys think :D
3 kinds.

Butchers sword




Light Sabre




Dragon Sword PROTOTYPE



Tried a little animation, not very good but its first one ever so.

Second Animation, alittle better i think.

Very nice indeed for a first sprite. Nothing really seems flawed to me, keep up the good work.

Save all images as PNGs. JPGs have noticeably inferior quality to the images.

On top of that, you have transparency with PNGs! (a.k.a the background behind the image is visible)

Excuse my ignorance and nitpicking, but is that first axe really your own sprite? It outclasses any other sprite you posted by miles.

Yes it really is mine. I am more comfortable with the program i am using and wanted to make a more complicated sprite.

Also i am using Greenfish.

For most of the weapons, it looks as though you scaled the image rather than zooming in. It's very skewed in comparision to the 1x image.

You should really take more time and care into where you place the pixels. The "Battle Axe" and the latest one, "Axe", is perhaps the worse in terms of that. Try to keep your work clean, limiting your use on colours could help achieve this.

Look at http://www.pixeljoint.com/files/icons/full/whole_set.png for reference. Try to imitate it by zooming close and looking at it carefully as you do your own sword. This is a good way to learn when you're beginning.

Good luck!

You'll definitely achieve something really nice with that attitude towards criticism. You take it like a champ!  :)

could I get permission to edit the battle sword to show you how you could approach it?
