The hammer is ok. Just needs more detail. I guess that would be hard considering a hammer is mostly metal or stone. The sword is a little too cartoonish, but I like it.

You just rotate your graphics. You suck.

Is there a bunch of white stuff on the second one for a reason?

The graphics look good to me, but im a newbie booby.

:( Zid does good work for my server. Those are both sekc you illiterate nubs. And before anyone comes to bash me. That was a joke.

Not bad graphics, good if your starting but but by no means the normal standard for a Graal Kingdoms server. Now for the feedback.
The black lines over define them, giving them too much of a cartoony appeal. They look too symmetrical, no proper highlights or shading. Maybe tone down on the saturation and make the blade of the sword thinner. As for the hammer, its okay, but it looks like one of those small hammers you use to hammer pegs into the ground, rather than a weapon of war. When doing weapons, research them; find what makes a good weapon a good weapon, take inspiration, then intergrate it into your ideas. Its always better to work from an image, then rennovate it to the way you think would make it better, than to start something entirely from scratch with no prior research.

Maybe that's because the hammer is meant to hit rocks with? =P

They just need to be made to not look flipped. ;]

Zideruic 06-21-2006 01:34 AM

flipped? Also I got bored so I made a white blotch in the middle of the sword.

Redwizard. The oldbie. :P Has come back and verbally raped the Graphic Forums. BTW the hammer and the sword will be edited some and won't be for GK? wtf?

Zideruic 06-21-2006 01:38 AM

No need for the you suck part, but yes, you do just rotate your graphics. If you look at the hammer there are perspective problems due to this.
Look at the attachment to see what i mean. Learn it. Apply it. Reap the benefits of a visually correct; thus visually appealing server.

RW Tip - Perspective matters. Its a powerful tool, or a grave mistake. Use
it wisely, as you would a paintbrush.

Theres a hammer, and a sword. There is no direction telling the viewer either is a weapon. When you see a sword, you think weapon, and when you see the hammer, you also think weapon. Easy mistake to be made.

RW Tip : Dont post two graphics of a different criteria which could be mistaken for something else, unless specified. Otherwise people could be giving you tips on how to make a weapon look like a tool or a tool look liek a weapon and destroying the intention of the graphic.

Specify what you intend on using the graphics for. The size resembles that of Graal Kingdoms, and differs from the classic spritesheet. So say that the sword is intended for use in your server. Don't mislead people, because they will,again, give you the wrong help. As for verbally raped? Raping is an unpleasent experience and I do not feel comfortable with that being used in these forums. Zero hour, could you pleas edit the posts to remove the usage of this word, its disgusting, and can be offensive.

RW Tip : Direct the viewer as to where the graphic will be used.

Theres a difference between looking crappy, and looking ridiculous. Your idea of crappy as it were is probably a low levelled sword. None the less, you should put time into each graphic, instead of focusing 100% on one graphic that wont be easy to aquire. If you think of it this way, players start off with weaker weapons, so everyone is going to be exposed to them mroe than they would to legendary or powerful weapons.

RW Tip - Put equal effort into each graphic, no matter how strong it is.

Zideruic 06-21-2006 07:04 PM

I still have no earthly idea what you're talking about.
