Very Simple basic sprites

[Bredaase]

Hey! I am currently developing my own rpg game which is inspired by Tibia but isn't going to be a copy. It will have its own individual touch. However, long story short I am just a programmer and I dont know anything about making sprites or artwork at all. So today I took a few minutes and made my first sprites. I know that they aren't good but maybe the skilled artists can give me some advice. They are supposed to be wooden weapons

Now feel free to insult my Tibia 1.0 art

Compare to Cipsofts first sprite and you'll see that they are not bad

It's not bad at all actually but the bow could have a better shape.

Well, I always try to compare myself with what I want to achieve. I think that when cipsoft made their sprites people had different expectations so I am trying to fit into the expectations of the "modern" gamer. However, I am thankful for your opinion I've never seen it from that point of view

Indeed, I will rework the bow and make some new sprites since it was actually kinda fun

I'm pretty terrible at making sprites, but haven't made one for a long time, and I wanted to try and shade your armor. Turned out pretty terrabad, but sharing it here anyway

At least it looks more 3D now and not like made with paint Just don't try too hard man.

The sword in the first post actually looks pretty awesome goodjob!

The bow, I'd say, is the most rigid and simple looking, perhaps making it more curvy as opposed to having 1 angle break in the middle could help make it feel better.
The axe has a peculiar shape, which is neat, and the sword is pretty basic and solid.
However, the latest armor you posted seems to be going in a great direction!

I'd recommend making the sprites lighter over-all, introducing maybe 2 more lighter shades in the color palette you're using, since they seem rather dark right now.
On the armor, the little details near the neck area (buttons and stuff), seem to be way lighter than the rest, which makes them look bad, it would be nicer if the contrast was not too high between their color and the color of the armor, so that they blend into the design nicely.
Other than that, it is already visible that you're progressing.

Keep going
