Hey Timpa:
Welcome.
I have to say I really dig your body armour and the sword best. :y:
Not being one of the amazing people, I don't know enough to critique you properly :P but I think the tip of the sword suffers a little. I think the problem is what the guys here call selout. Knobby bit at the end of the handle/hilt(?) as well. The arrow's nice but really loses definition in the feathers. I like the helmet on the left, too.
:y:

Good to see you here LoreA (or Gara or whatever you wish to be called). I can't really give you more than moral support from the sidelines, but I look forward to seeing what people have to say about your stuff. I'm sure I use way too many colors on my things, but your lower colorcount style might be more up this collective alley.

Hehe, I was a long time Tibia fan myself. I played it since about 2001. Quit last summer though finally. I don't like where the game has been going. I originally got into the graphics aspect of the game at around 2003. That's what got me hooked on pixel work in the first place.
I spent a lot of time on WoT admiring the pixel artists there, and all of their work, as well as making several spr files from it. I never really went anywhere with my own art however. I guess these days I just lack the time required to do any real learning.
I think the sword looks rather cool, same with the helmet and armor. Mind sharing what each is for? Or are they brand new items?
-
their brand new items since i work on a separate project now trying to create a game=)
-
nice stuff. I think you could do without the black outlining though
-
That would mean changing over 100's of our existing gfx already done.... that is not anything anyone in our team want to doo xD
Heres 2 new peices

good work, i would love to play a game using this graphics :) .
the only thing i would suggest is the to give the right helmets some more colors. they look like a swamp of stone & metall -> increasing contrast would also help a lot.

tbh the helmet wasn't a serious attempt at a helmet sometimes when i draw i just draw some lines and i get the feeling of making them into smt... this was it=)
