Hey guys! tell me wat u think about my glow effect. also, i need help with a clash effect so can you help me with that too? o yeah most people want to do the whole pixel art themselves but i dont care if you make the clash for me.

| i don't think that you really need that many shade to pull a glow effect. With only using a third of the colors you should be able to make it look realistic... |

I think there's more to a lightsaber look than the outer colour glow. It's a light, remember, so add a lil blend inside aswel (lol... er.. i dont know why that links but... heh)

yeah like how Fhqwhgads showed you. there are only two colors but essencially the same effect. And off of what Larwick said, the general star wars lightsaber does not have to much melding between the white and such, it does have a little, but what it does need is a little tinting of the white to red. very slight tint...

ok dude, first of all...light sabers arent real so its gonna be hard to get it to look pretty realistic as you say. and considering your piece has a sh*t load of colours and foogoogads has 3, i suggest you work with a simple design.

You could fix the absence of NPA in the title or make a pixeled one. ------------- http://pixelmonkey.ensellitis.com">

Thats not pixelart :O You should try to do something more like that.
Alright i admit it i did it really fast, and i could of made it much
better, but the basic concept is there, a clash is a light spark. so
make a while blob with sparkles and stuff flying around. thats it. Its
a pain to animate i give that to you but its worth it. the result is much better than a filter from adobe image ready.  Btw it looks better on a darker background. but i was im too lazy to fix that detail ------------- c==3 |
