Yeah, I did it pixel art style, I'm pretty bad at doing it in other ways. Though I'm getting better.

As for the blade, it did come out a bit badly. I'm still quite inexperienced with shading but I think I'll get the hang of it eventually.

Also, making the edge brighter? Brilliant idea, something I should've realized. I made a gradient by layering the different shades, then hitting it with Gaussian blur to make the blade seem more metallic.

My next weapon will be better I believe

Excellent, looking forward to seeing it. c:
Also, i'd advise you to be careful with gradients, because it's actually pretty rare in real life to see a gradient like that (the light level actually only visibly tapers off near the edges of the lit area). And, funkily enough, a key characteristic of metallic shading is that the lighting level changes rather significantly and abruptly as opposed to smoothly and faintly. You're much better off googling a metal shading tutorial than you are listening to an inexperienced doodleguy (read: me) rambling, but in any case, i decided to study metal shading a bit for my own sake.



went somewhat okay

But anyways, main point is that metal tends to be much more reflective than most other materials, so you'll be seeing very sharp differences in light. Now i shall go back to doodling in Paint. :U

Oh my god, Arne is the boss.

Thank you so much for posting that, Foa.

Oh man, i didn't know that he had made a pixel art tutorial as well! This is quite useful, Arne has been a great inspiration to me. C:

Promster, now adopting your pixel mans.

That would've been helpful when I was starting out most definitely!
But, it's actually probably more helpful now that I have a foothold rather than no clue at what i was doing.

The differing art styles at the bottom by individual sprite artists were neat too.

This is supposed to be focusing on form, but I can't seem to draw without having dem outlines.
Just don't look at the thumb and it's alright.
