Soala's graphics gallery (done/undone) !
 

Well, not to copy Aeko but I felt like showing off what I'm currently working on, updating things frequently, show some projects, and show finished work too ! And this, in one and only thread ^^
You can comment/criticize love/hate/burn it/shoot your comp because of those graphics being too awesome?/and so on...

Some of you may remember the 2nd sword (smallest one) but i fixed it a little bit, and I took exemple on that one to make another one.
So the first one (with blue gem inside) is the Prince's sword, and the 2nd one is the King's. Why is the King's smaller ? From my point of view a King manage his kingdom by giving vocal orders. That sword is still powerful tho, but it's just to help him defend himself. Then the Prince's is bigger, as he may go help defend the kingdom on the front line !

Then the 3rd one (didn't decide yet for the handle colors, just trying some more gold on it) is supposed to be a really sharp blade, and the handle was real fun to make =)

I'm going to post a preview of my drake soon !

Enjoy.

The definition in the shading on the blade itself seems awkward to me. Especially with the dark gray line shooting straight up the center of it.

I'm speaking more towards the first blade. The second blade is a little better, IMO.

I guess I'll work a bit more on it !
I actually didnt work on the blade for the prince's, I just copied the king's and resized it to see how it would fit, didn't realize it was quite weird looking.

I feel like with a line of definition like that, you might like to curve it with the blade. You have it just going straight up.

It's probably more of a personal preference than anything.

Looks too bland.

Hoy, didn't have that much time to spend on graphics over the past few days, but here's a little attempt to improve the sword =3

I know I went crazy on the handle, should organize the pixels for the gem soon. Maybe change gem color too idk

Second sword is pretty fly



Now post that shield we talked about


Why would a prince be defending from the front line? You don't put your heir in harm's way.

Most stories/books I read have the prince fighting in it, I even remember a movie with the prince fighting on his royal horse, he didn't even get hurt.
Might just be the fantasy mixed with it.

About the shield, I will sure post it soon, but I'm really busy irl actually, so you most likely have to wait 'till the week-end till I get back to it

Said movies usually involve a tragic death. If I were the prince on the front line, I'd be considering how to best assassinate my father for putting me there to begin with instead of my burly royal guard or something.

you got a point here.

Their looking very nice, I like the cleanness of them.

Doooone ! Finaly had some time on me.
Handle looks odd on 45°, but lazy and over-spammed of projects to take care of it, it looks decent anyway !

Not a fan of how flat the design is, looks alright though.

I like the top left sword in your first attachment.

I like the handle.

Need some feedbacks on this, possibly called Royal Frost
Still working on the blade, shape is quite simple so I might change it.
Any idea on how the blade should be made ? Maybe an ice blade ?

Ideaz plz.

:noob:

Some random crap I've recently done.
IMAGES :spam: GO !

Attachment 49393 Nayfle's sword.
Attachment 49395 Royal Frost done.
Attachment 49391Attachment 49390 Butterfly's Fate
Attachment 49394Attachment 49392 Some lantern

Those are really good? Are you actually using them though?

Well as you can see I'm working on Maloria, so a bunch of everything I make IS for Maloria.

Here's a quick preview of the Mighty Drake I'm pixelizing.
Head + Wings Guidelines by Alarid <3

nice!!

Really good, have you though about what you'll do for the other sprites? Like making it's arms move, mouth open and tail move. It'll be difficult but very interesting when it's done.

Yep it's quite a large and difficult project that will keep me busy for months.
I'm planning to make the arms move to attack, maybe attacking with his right arm so when he moves you will see his body as if he was infront of you.

I'm also planning to make the mouth open and throw a pixelized fireball.

It's a very huge project, but interesting to pixelize, I love working on it :)

interesting but a little static

small advice for animating
do part for part...dont create the whole dragon, else it will differ from the other sprites tremendously
start with wings or so

I was kind of planning to do that, right now I'm just looking at how the drake would look and how I am going to fully texture it, next it will just require to figure how to cut each part and how it will be animated.
Thanks for the advice :)

Too rectangular looking.
Looks good

:D

Hmm well it looks like I keep making weapons that are almost the same for the handles (same design on both sides)

I'll try and make a cool and fashion design, I already sketched something on paper :cool:

Ewh I didn't have time to work on anything for a whole week ! That sucks :(

But I had some time to sketch a heavy blade on paper, and then came out with this on paint.
I need some feedbacks, I don't know what color to give to the blade. I thought of some red or maybe blue. Maybe could be black I don't know.

Also, what would be best ? With or without "spikes" to the sides ?

Attachment 49525

very nice swords :]

finish the dragon!!

I'm working on it, don't make me do it too quickly

It takes time to make great things.

Hmm still working on that one, not done at all but you get the idea. Gotta fix the contrast on the handle then organize pixels on the blade.
I'll call it Sea Dragon =D

I really love your swords x.x

Thanks :O

Ew @ the drake wings. Cool work on the coloring for the royal frost btw

Remember, those are YOUR wings outlines :whatever:

That dagger reminds me of

Where is that from ?

Here's my recent work on a blade I'll call Misery's Mirror.
You can see the different steps I've gone through to make it.


Enjoy !
