Heres my swords thus far.... I tried alittle AA (could someone please explain what that stands for) and I tried some lighting off of the example Rydin posted above, I kept the light going all the way across the top of the blade because it seemed odd to me that it suddenly gets cut off there, IDKK >.< Im also not sure the reflections on the one I did have the right angle.... oh well, I hope to get some kind of feed back.

Doesn't look like pixel art. Seems like you drew it in MSpaint, not at a pixel level. If you want to stay with two colors play with dithering, or you can practice your AA.

I also did a little research and that's a REALLY sloppy symbol. I might be wrong but isn't chinese calligraphy all about clean letters?



I also made a sloppy edit of your piece to show you what some AA would look like.


Sorry it doesn't look like pixel art lol >.< and it wasn't made in mspaint, It was made in IDraw3, thanks for the info though, I don't even know what AA stands for or what dithering is... I'm very new to all of this. I was reading a San shou kuai jiao chinese wrestling book and I saw the symbol. then I looked it up and found a pic of it and used it as reference, from what I see now the pic represented the calligraphy way off! >.< I see how you edited it, it ends up way better that way. thanks for the help. I am going to give it another try ^_^

I was bored, so in the meantime I decided to work on a little avatar one might call it >.<
Just a simple chinese symbol meaning "spirit"

I would love to lead by example, but I don't actually know how to shade my piece. I could look at those swords all day and wouldn't understand where to start with mine since its different dimensions. I already had that thread bookmarked in my browser before you sent me a reply. Overall I need to know what the whole process is.  ;D

Hi everyone (:

Im new to the board, the names Darrin as you can see.

This happens to be my second day doing pixel art, I only experimented, well goofed off yesterday trying to
make somthing in photoshop, then I found a better software to use and started doing my first pixel art ever.




Ok I learned some contrast, for the crystal from a friend :P but there still happens to be alot missing like maybe shading
and whatnot, hopefully I can get some advice on how to make these swords look alittle more like uhmmm,  swords!

C+C all the goodies welcome, thankkkzz
