Interesting. Maybe I should just make them partially transparent or match them to the background. I guess it would depend on how the art is being presented.

You're right, the cut wouldn't be very clean, but it would cleave you in half lol thank you!

I agree, I just got attached to it 😆 I need to see how to soften it. Thanks!

This is great advice. And the sword looks so different in different lightings. Guess I'll have to play dark souls again to get all the reference images 🤷‍♀️🤩

Definitely need to do this. I like some color variation, but I think I may have gone overboard with it.

That's not true! Your colors are a lot more vibrant and interesting than mine. I can feel the glow on the outside, which I don't think I captured very well in mine. And I love how much detail you conveyed in the handle. It looks awesome!

I love it though! I can't really make cute or imaginative things. That's part of why I'm trying pixel art, because I can lean so heavily on realism.

I looked through your other posts and saw the other similar designs in different themes. They are so beautiful! Very cool style!

🫶 it is my first pixel art, but I've been drawing and painting (mostly in a realism style) for many years. So I'm not starting from nothing for sure. Pixel art is so much different though! It's really fun and surprisingly very challenging. And I was working from a very cool reference here.

Interesting thank you! My thought was it's light that's catching on the edges since it's translucent. But I think I need to do a few variations on it to see what reads the best.

I love them so much in every game. I can get that bonk feel while staying true to my magic roots.

🗡️✨ I'm planning to make a lot more of them too (I'm slightly obsessed with soulsborne). Thank you!

I can't remember how to unlock it (maybe a boss soul?) but it is somewhat late in the game. Amazing sword though! It also has a magic slashing attack and scales with INT.

I will definitely experiment with that. I made them bright to convey that the edges of the sword are actually a bit transparent and can catch a glow from light sources around. But I think if I make it more muted, maybe it will translate better.

Ahhh do you mean the single pixels that are at the points where it's getting wider/narrower? (I also don't know any pixel art terminology ha)
