bahamutstevetff 03-25-2009 04:23 PM

Clockwork 03-25-2009 04:28 PM

I think they all look awesome. Definately finish that sidescroller sprite!

salesman 03-25-2009 08:38 PM

All of those are better than anything else that is posted on these forums, so I don't know what some of you are talking about =\

good job.

smirt362 03-26-2009 02:24 AM

I like the first one a lot, would like to see if finished. I really like the glowing skulls, those look great. I didn't notice it was a flail till I zoomed in though. The second one is really creepy looking. The sword design is good, but I'm not a huge fan of the outline. It seems to stick out too much.

LordSquirt 03-26-2009 04:07 AM

Looks great to me also. Good job Elk :p

Sage_Shadowbane 03-26-2009 07:42 PM

Pretty good stuff ya got there Elk.. But if you plan on finishing that first sprite, you should definantly try to work on the upper body anatomy. Its very unproportional. The arms are WAY too big in comparison to the chest area of the beast.

Elizabeth 03-26-2009 07:45 PM

the second one is going to give me nightmares D:

alarid0 03-31-2009 07:19 PM

That first one caught my attention

The arm holding the mace seems a little stiff, though. Then when I took a closer look I noticed the legs were sort of...just... there. They're completely disconnected from the torso... So I made a quick edit there, too.

What I turned out with wound up taking this in the wrong direction. It looks considerably shorter now that I adjusted the legs, and i didn't mean to twist it towards the camera as much as I did....

Still, methinks the butt shouldn't be floating. Maybe bring the gut in to make the top looked more hunched over, instead of moving the leg? I'm not sure, I was futzing with it for a while beyond the image posted and turned up with nothing.


I love the sword. There are plenty of flashy and elaborate swords out there with pieces jutting out and flying everywhere, but most of the time I have to roll my eyes at how rediculous they are (simultaneously admitting they do look cool)

For one reason or another... I... really love it. The colors are well done, and it's a very solid unique design.

It seems like something you would see as a primary focus of a game... Some weapon the game revolves around instead of giving you dozens of swords throughout the game that you'll discard at the drop of a hat. It may be the identifying weapon of some main villain, or maybe some legendary sword you use in your efforts... in any case, a very defining piece of equipment.

The Bad: I don't really like the pattern in the top left corner of the parchment, maybe make it look like it's curling up on the edge instead. Also, the wood pattern in the shoutbox creates the illusion of a line going down the length of it. It was the first thing I noticed and I think it detracts from the piece as a whole. One other thing I just noticed, there are two misplaced pixels of color on two of the boards in the shoutbox.

This is more of a suggestion, but could you make the lettering on the buttons pop a little more? They are kind of hard to see.

Behind the parchment used to be more wood. the second box was the same box, shrunken down from side to side. That line is noticable because it really is there, he never bothered to fix it yet. o.o...

Buttons don't look good. Was this inspired from Warcraft 3's interface?

No XD why does everyone say that
Got inspired by wooden shields that hang infront of pubs in towns and so on :D
so i first made the chains and then boards xD

Soala 04-21-2009 06:46 PM

ANIMATE IT PLEASE =D

That, my friend, is a brilliant idea.
