Just started

I have just started gfxing about 1-2 weeks ago. These are some of the
swords I made. I would like to know everything you think about them.
Remember this is like my fourth time trying to make swords and shading
them.

Thank you,

The first one looks odd, but I really like the second one, looks grim and deviates from the cartoony graal look. I like.

I think they'd look better without the black outlines

The colors are droll. They look like slightly darkened MSPaint default colors...

I like the second one a lot, the first one just looks too odd for me.

Yep looks very odd, you could just take off the black outlines and stop shading this way, just like on the red bottom of the first one. Just try another style, be random and choose alot of different pixels, don't just take MSPaint ones, choose your owns.

I didn't even use MSPaint to make those so what are you talking about?

i like black outlines on weapons :P fits better with the classic sprites :O
change the colors and work on the shape and i think it will be fine

Agreed. Makes them stick out more, and show that they are part of the players sprites.

you didn't use paint ? Then what's this crappy result? Using paint and starting with pixel art, Ok I can understand, but not using paint....what the hell did you use then?

First one looks like an umbrella.

I really can't see how you can get to such result when you don't use paint.
I mean, if he didn't use a program similar to paint then why is it so crap ?

I'm not saying he has no skills, but seriously if he done it in programs like photoshop and all, where getting a brush takes you about 20mns, why wouldn't he do it in paint?

MSPaint is pretty irrelevant here - it's obvious you're talking about his skills, in which case it shouldn't even matter what program he uses.
