Dawntide Posted July 29, 2012 Author Share Posted July 29, 2012 Hey,So i am trying to get into pixel art, but i have a problem.How to get better quality of items?I used GraphicsGale FreeEdition with 64x32 (24 bit map file) for this item:[![](http://s1.directupload.net/images/120729/3xkt3b6j.png)](http://www.directupload.net)The default wood log looks much better when it comes down to quality and detail:[![](http://s1.directupload.net/images/120729/d2shfnmv.jpg)](http://www.directupload.net)My item looks much more edged than the default ones.It is meant to be a shuriken, but i do not know how to increase its quality and also i got a little problem, because at beginning i borderd it black so it looks better, but then i recognized that the Inventory version has a black background, so i had to remove the black border :/Any advices to improve my pixelart skills? I also would appreciate a better version done by you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lcarens Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 I shaded it a little bit and fixed the border. Tell me what you think:![](http://s17.postimage.org/wq6hm162j/shuriken.png) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of the credit goes to you though, since you made the base design. I just changed it a little.I should be able to. Do you have Skype?I used Paint.Net, which isn't the best program for sprites, but it is what I am used to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
