Hi guys,
This sword has really tired me up, I know if I spend more time being patient I'll be able to finish a sword that looks good, but for now here's what I can come up with.
Must've taken me around three hours to make these sprites, most sprites i think of will be new to me, so the idea of a sword evolving was interesting and I thought I'd give it a try. Things I noticed is that it seems a bit flat, detail is missing, it wouldn't make for a clean animation due to lack of frames. the shading is a bit messed up but I tried to keep the light point to the left of the swords. I didn't go too wild with adding more colors either, the end product of the sword is a bit daft. It could do with the spikes appearing by the hilt instead. But I'll leave that for another day.
I tried to animate it, It hurts my existence.
