I make the odd sprite every once in a while. I'd like to get better at pixel art, but it's not particularly high on my priority list. I don't have much to say about this one other than that it's definitely my best sprite so far and I think I've almost captured the third-dimensionality of it in a way that I'm truly satisfied with. It's just the lack of contrast between the left edge and the middle of the blade that bothers me.
