Ahoy. I posted a thread not too long ago about a graphic I made in an attempt to get some feedback to help improve it. Since then, I've been toying with pixels ever since. The feedback I got last time when I submitted the relic dagger was amazing and helped me a lot. I figured if I post what I make here, the you guys can give me some feedback and I'll get better at pixel art! Sound like a plan? Remember, I'm new to all of this and I'm only just starting to figure out how shading works, so go easy on me ;) Any criticism is welcome as long as it's constructive (so no bashing please <3)

I'm going to kick this off with a sword I made. It's supposed to be an ice sword.  

Emera well done. The only thing I would say to change is the bottom of the handle.
Other than that I like it.

Thank you. I was actually unsure about the handle <3 I toyed with the colours quite a bit. I hope this looks better.  

well maybe you can give it more ice details. yet its just 3 sorts of blue. maybe you can add some icicles somehow o,O? and maybe make the lightblue line in the middle of the sword not straight, more curved

Something like this? I'll work on adding some ice effects, but that's going to take some thinking.  

icicles at the bottom of the handle would be cool.  

I've added some cracks through the blade to make it look more authentic. I like how the cracks have turned out.  

thats a big improvement on the shading (making it more look like an icicle)  

I like it very much.  

A small wooden-handled dagger. I don't really like the handle though Any suggestions on how I could improve it?  

you dont always have to add the bulge on the bottom <3

I like mah bulge >:O! Would it look better without though?  

Try giving the ice sword a dark blue outline on the blade, and on the dagger it looks a little weird without a hilt, but i love the ice one

Do you mean replace the black outline with dark blue? or go around it with dark blue.  

The dagger could be dualled if ever added!!!!
