Description
*** BE SURE TO SEE FULL-SIZE IMAGE ***Well that was fun, the item was done in Paint Tool SAI & I made the simple graphic in GIMP. I hope everything is explained thoroughly enough, sorry I didn't go in-depth on shading but as it stands, I'm not very comfortable with my shading so I didn't want to explain that step too much.
Please note that item styles vary from site to site, and everyone has their personal style as well. If you have any further inquiries please feel free to leave me a note and I will try my best to answer them, thanks for viewing!
***This isn't necessarily for beginners. >_> sorry
edit: maybe a bit too much shading detail was used here for mara's style, but the general concept is here. ^^

Nice one, Igor! ouo
This reads very well, I think beginners shouldn't have a problem following along. ;D
Though to be fair, I've made custom items before so I have an idea of what you're saying. xD
Shading isn't really easy to explain, since it's something you've got to learn on your own. Though I do find that since you shrink the final product by quite a lot, it might help to make your shading quite dark and your highlights quite bright so that they show up nicely. c:
I also have to say that I'm impressed with the metal shading and the grip detail. ;D

Aw thank you, I hope beginners can figure it out! But I guess it depends on the definition of "beginner" ahah.

What kind of tutorials are you considering? o;
I've been meaning to do a few of my own, but I lack the ability to write concisely. xDD;

Um to be honest I haven't put thought into it. If I do decide to do more I need to brainstorm for things I *think* I can actually help others do.

Haha, I know what you mean. :b
I wouldn't know what I could help people with if people didn't ask me for help in the first place. xD;
