Description I remember when I was a teenager, everyone else was having fun as any teenager would. I was the guy sitting in the back, drawing furiously.
Back then, I enjoyed designing weapons - I still have countless paper sheets covered with swords, spears and other weapons, somewhere in my drawers.

Hi there! 

These are fantastic! Would I be able to use them in a little mmorpg browser game I'm working on here: playinitium.com ?

I know you mentioned that you already let your friend use them, but that comment was made almost 3 years ago and I wonder if he ended up putting them to use..?

In any case, great work and thanks for reading!
Nik

Love your designs,

Would it be possible to use some of these, if not all !! lol, in a game I am developing? I have done some weapons myself, but ran out of ideas when I got to 10!

I have never used anybody else's assets before, so I feel awkward asking...Sorry if it offends!

Your style is very similar to mine and it would save me a lot of time.

Where did you get all these ideas from? great work.

Well I'm not offended, it's kinda flattering really... but a friend of mine already ask to use those, so I can't let you use them, I'm sorry.

As for the ideas... well I really don't know, it just came out like that. ^^'
If you run out of ideas quickly, thought, I'd advise you to look up for some real references. I got some inspiration from real life swords, as there are hundreds of shapes, lenghts and styles already... Usually one real life design gives me an idea, and from there, well, I just bounce from ideas to ideas until I run out, then move to another real design.
Tweaking colors, textures or shapes on an already existing design can be useful, too!

Keep up the great work, Your style is brilliant I love your macabre set so much...even that has a sense of humour!..

keep smiling,

Thanks.

Yeah, I haven't been pixeling much lately, I should try to find time and motivation to do that again... oh well.

Thanks alot for your support, it sure helps.

You too? I'm always the one sitting in the back of class sketching while the teacher's explaining stuff. Oddly enough i never got in trouble. These pixels are awesome. I cant draw swords no matter how hard i try, they always turn out really simple.

ThisIsEllian In reply to ImperialGoldDragon [2013-03-03 22:51:35 +0000 UTC]

For some teacher, I remember I had to go see them and tell them that sketching actually helped me listen to them. But yeah, never had too muc trouble either.

Drawing sword... Well I used squared sheet, so following the line helped getting ideas for shapes and such. Maybe you could try that?

Why only 25 btw? you can outdo that number!

ThisIsEllian In reply to Neoriceisgood [2013-01-22 22:45:24 +0000 UTC]

Because that's all I was able to do in one single day.
Between work and sleep, I had to stop...

Maybe I'll do more, maybe I'll do something else (like spear heads or axes or something). We'll see!
But yeah, I hope I'll outdo that.

Honestly, it's not that hard. It's harder to come up with nice ideas than to actually make them.

You should try to make some!

I was planning to make some spear heads. I did so many of these years ago...
Maybe some axe heads too...

Did you had anything in mind? Give me some ideas!

oweroftea In reply to ThisIsEllian [2013-01-23 02:40:05 +0000 UTC]

oh, that would be cool, the spear heads and axes. what about staffs, greatswords, nunchucks or guns?

ThisIsEllian In reply to oweroftea [2013-01-23 08:30:57 +0000 UTC]

Well, some of these swords are greatswords in my mind, it's just that I didn't respect any scaling... oh well~

Staves would be interesting, I'll try to look into that.
