Member-Run Contest Terraria Spriting Contest Reborn

[Depressed 0wl]

Welcome to the Weekly Spriting Contest Reborn! The old weekly spriting contest died and as far as I can tell there isn't a new one.

Rules:
The way Voting works is based upon the amount of likes something gets. Whichever gets the most likes wins!

If you are going to criticize, be constructive. Don't just say, "Your sprites are bad". Say, "Your sprites could use some improvement in shading, I recommend not pillow shading...".

This is more than one contest! These take place every week, so if you don't win one week, try again!

No using existing sprites! Make them for the contest.

Fancy backgrounds for your sprites make them look better are allowed!

Up to three entries per person.

Any other rules for TCF apply here.

Current Contest Theme:

Convert an item from another game to terraria style.

Just asking for something gray doesn’t really spark creativity, as you can design anything then grayscale it.

Okay. How about making a weapon into a tool?

I have a submission, but it's just a sprite that I made for my mod.
If this is any good please let me know!
it got blurry after I rotated it sideways, damnit.

I doesn't fit the theme. Sorry about that.

I have an idea…

I have an idea…

What is it?

 

[maranethan 🐿]

What is it?

You’ll see…

Ohey, an excuse to make another lantern sprite!
I'll hopefully get my submission made quickly.
(Explanation: my mod adds a class that uses lanterns as weapons, so they're a weapon and a tool)

It has to be a weapon that's transformed into a tool.

Aw...
Lantern weapons do that job too though right? They're both..
Guess I get to give Andennal a tool mode too then
No idea how I'd implement it

It doesn't do the job. Sorry.

 

[Esther]

It doesn't do the job. Sorry.

That's okay
So how exactly would I go about making it a weapon transformed into a tool? Mind giving a bit of a guideline for me to work with?

That should be doable in that case. Transforming is kind of already the theme of the item I have in mind for the sprite (It has a melee, magic, and ranged mode that it switches between), so it shouldn't be too hard.
Edit: @Component Two I finished my submission, here it is. I don't like working with adding backgrounds to sprites or putting comparison pictures together, so instead I'll paste the sprite it's based on (as it's just a less detailed version of one of my other sprites), and then post the sprite I turned it into.

Behold…

STARBURST!
The Pickaxe counterpart of starfury, mines blocks normally, but sends down destructive stars to get the job done quickly.

 

[Depressed 0wl]

Since basically no one replied the results are limited. @maranethan-14 has first and @Esther Is second.
