sword

[ninjakiller2223]

Hey guys, so i'm kinda new to the whole pixel-art buisiness and i made a sword. let me know what you guys think .




(you have to download the image and zoom in)

changed the subject from "new" to "sword" - Atnas

there seems to be some problem with pixel proportions in the second image

overall it's pretty basic and a decent sword, however
   
    the black outline on the sword itself doesn't serve to help the shape, but rather makes it look off, dont use it, but this might be a style preference, maybe it would look more appropriate with a dark outline on the hilt also

    the purple jewel is not very visible at 1x, you probably need stronger contrasting colors between the jewel and the hilt and the hilt's shadowy parts

Edit:

• Keep an eye on your colors! There are a bunch of duplicates in this. I removed more than a dozen colors.
• Everything is pillow-shaded! Decide on a light source and then you can shade more easily! I picked the top left.
• I changed the purple jewel to blue to make it more visible but ymmv.
• You don't need to include a zoomed version! You can zoom in on pictures in this forum just by clicking on them.

Hope it helps~

don't use Minecraft as a basis to learning pixel art. it's remarkably bad.
