So I'm trying to do a couple different things with lighting, and I would like some help as to how to go about creating it (and variations).
This is my first attempt:
The upper left image is using the same palette from this, the one to the right of that is an attempt at using the same basic idea with a white background. The next three are lighting lasers, respectively from top to bottom: one pixel thick with very little lighting coming off the main laser, two pixels thick with a lot of lighting coming off the main laser, two pixels thick with a midway amount coming off the laser.
Also, in the first image, there is a rather WIP sword. One of the things I'm trying to accomplish is to make a lighting-sword (or other weapon - the concept is a weapon with the power of lighting).
Anyways, critique and suggestions on how to improve lighting, lighting lasers, or lighting blade are welcome.
