Sprites Just a little thing i thought of

[ariraribari]

I was just making sprites, ‘cause why not? And I realized I made a sword for corruption and crimson. So I thought I‘d just show ‘em off. (These are for my Aberration mod)

Corruption Blade

Crimson Blade
Honestly, I don’t think they look good. :|

They could use some tinkering, but the base idea isn't bad.

The corrupt one feels like the blade itself is a bit short in comparison to that corrupt thing adorning it, so it feels like it's a bit impractical like this, would make more sense with a longer blade.

As for the crimson one, I actually though at first that the circle is the handle, and IMO, that actually might could make it more unique.

for the top one, it is too thin and also it looks strange because the handle is so large compared to the blade. Both of the blades look a bit bland. The corruption sword's handle uses a lot of shades of purple that don't need to be there. Unless you are really good at spriting, it's best to keep your color count down. Finally, it looks like you are using pure black outlines. Use a dark version of a color instead.

I love the idea of the Corruption Blade’s design. You could make the blade longer though, and add a darker shade of purple.
As for Crimson, it looks a little bland. Try to add more designs.

does this look better?

 

[Marcato]

Yes, it does, I think that you're putting too much emphasis on the shape due to the black borders, maybe soften them up.

The handle looks good, but the blade feels kind of too shiny (IMO)

Why is there always a pro but then a con for every single sprite I make

That’s just how things work. It’s impossible to make something that has no flaws, and it’s impossible to please everyone.

It really depends on opinion, I actually really like how the blade shines

I know, but I’m not trying to focus on how good the sprites look

Honestly, the Crimson sword looks awesome.
