Hey, I come bearing some advice for you in terms of spriting. It's been passed down through spriters for generations, it seems.
Every material is shaded differently. For example, if you look at the Work Bench's sprite, you'll see it's a wide variety of layers of wood.
For concrete, it's similar. (Sprite by me)
For a polished gemstone, it'll be different, and so on. (Sprite mostly by @Pinelord with some color work by me)
Metal or crystal, for instance, will be shinier. Clay or wood will be much more muted.
Some things come in certain shapes - for example, a flail is most likely to be a sphere, while crystals might be a cone or whatever shape it is I put up there. It's pretty easy to Google those - I believe multiple universities have images of how to shade them.
See, to make your sprites look like the real thing, they need to be textured appropriately. Shading (for example: swords usually aren't indented, hence the light is usually on the inside) and colors (bright colors are very rarely found in anything natural) are important. Texture is infinitely more so... according to me.
Here's to hoping your sprites continue to improve! They're looking surprisingly good already. I remember my first sprite - I think it was a rocket launcher. It looked like one of those purple-and-black missing texture skins.

Hey Aiflynn have you finish my TF2 Sniper? I'm not rushing you! Just curious
Do not double-post, please.

@Unicorn666, just go ahead and report next time. We prefer to let the mods remind people of the rules.

Yo, Aiflynn, I had an idea. D'you think you could try to make a flail that doesn't look 2D like the existing ones - more like a sphere, with the spikes evenly spaced?

i love the vanity sets, definitely a creative use of dye!
Well for one, the main problem is that you can't really tell what it looks like.
And two, I still need to get all the stuff, cause my terraria deleted my world with all the stuff in it.
[doublepost=1462238717,1462238702][/doublepost]But I have something that is sort of like it.

What is what? An all items map?
Basically a world where some person decided to collect every item in the whole game and put it in one map for others to take it out from.
