So. You give me an item (small-medium sized) along with a referance picture (not required) and I'm going to attempt to sprite it for the sake of spriting practice. Any sprites I create in this topic are free for anyone and everyone to use, but give some credits.

This is a cool idea.

Railgun, like this one: http://www.powerlabs.org/railgun2.htm
Reference 1
http://www.powerlabs.org/images/railgun2barrel.jpg
Reference 2
http://www.powerlabs.org/images/railgunclosed.jpg

Important features:
Green rectangle of a barrel, with all the sweet bolts and the air pressure gauge on the solenoid valve.
Scrap the body and the cart, CC tech gives us free energy and stuff.

A muzzle flash based on the failure on that page would be awesome.

Good luck, I hope this will be suitable practice for you.

Sprite as much as this as you can. Make the centre a sphere, and omit as much of the side tendrils as you deem necessary. This is meant to be a practice in curves, and if you have problems then feel free to ask for help. A good scale to start with would be the sun having a diameter of 7-13 pixels.

Sprite Allstone's avatar. Actors are much more of a challenge than guns.

I got the railgun and the sword.

As you can see, I "weaponized" the railgun.

Cave, may I suggest oyu use more shades for each color?
Like, instead of only one darker shade on that sword have many similar ones.
That's how CC's palette is set up anyways :P

Not too bad. You could probably stand to look at how light hits real life objects a little bit though, but that requires you sprite something you actually have in front of you.

I'm impressed CC48 I really didn't think you could do it with all the tiny details on the sword. You even managed to add in the little cracks/seams on the back of the sword. The edge of the blade and the gold trim are very well done. The only think I can even think of criticizing is the color of the blade excluding the edge could be a tad darker, but thats just personal preference on my part.

All-in-all great job, but I have a feeling this didn't even pose a challenge to you.

Make an unmade bed, so that it looks like someone just got out of it.

I'm disappointed CC, I've seen you do MUCH better than this. Those aren't even shaded at all.

I got lazy. :P
Honestly, I find it more difficult to sprite something undetailed than something with a lot of detail. Probably because I get bored easily.

Those are what I call "first-round" sprites. I only worked on them once and that's it, though I could re-work them and improve (like what I usally do before even releasing a sprite).

Learn to detail them a bit better.
Buttons, hoses and stuff like that.

I would suggest shading before hand and then adding the cracks.
