Title: The Pixel Sword!
Post by: Rentofrent on January 29, 2011, 08:45:55 PM
Something that I was making for a spriting application on another game.
Figured I could get some CnC on here.

Looks to simple. I think it's the straight lines and simple shapes. I didn't really recognize it as a sword till I zoomed in and looked carefully. The floating "pixels" I presume that's what they are suppose to be, look really odd, maybe it's the shading or the size/box shape. I'm not really a pixel artist or anything but that's my criticism.

I thought it was too long, and as Joel pointed out, the floating pixels were unnecessary. I basically just cut it off halfway, I think it looks better :x.

Now that I think about it, was that supposed to be a jet of ice? If so, looked a bit awkward to me, I like the sword alone though.

Well, the sword was based off Gideon's sword from Scott Pilgrim vs The World but I guess that's my fault for not including a reference to begin with. They refer his sword as a Pixel Sword and in the Scott Pilgrim vs The World The Game, the sword looks similar to the one I sprited. It's a simple sword because it's my first weapon related sprite.

Handle should be longer to be proportionate with the blade.
