Faceless - Spriting, a new beginning. (First Sprite 10-03-2014)

Just make sure you dont have an edge that is more then 2 black pixels, better use some dark grey color then

How about this?
 
A good practice for you right now is to make 1 outline but shade it in 3 or 4 different ways.
Either with different color or with different scales.

Meaning that you make one very bright, one very dark and 1 or 2 between.

Ontopic: the latest sprite looks good. Handle has a sharp wooden look. But the top looks a bit cartoonish.

Keep them coming!

Nice sprites and cool set, love to see the rest of it.
Just 1 thing, better don't use black lines in the sprite but a darker color of the colors you use. Tibia uses black lines as outlines for sprites, ingame it can look like that some parts belong to different sprites.

oh!, i think i managed to do that some times now. But that's a very good tip! thank you very much i will keep that in mind when doing my sprites :)
And thank you for taking your time to write :)
 
Yeah you're getting better. And that's what you do keeping doing lots of sprites.

I did this as a follow up for what I meant earlier:

Remember that I haven't done items in a while so you shouldnt follow my examples but its marely to show what I meant.

a little improvement for the blade and the handle, but the gold parts suck

Faceless, you're improving, you should find some tutorials, I'll send you some when I find the links.

Probably going to stop with blades for a while. Going to work more on some armors as they seem
to be harder for me to do.
