Drakefyre's Comments

Sword by The Great Mister - 8: Very sharp-looking. A new addition to the default graphics
Staff by Camilla Kantola - 6: Average-looking. Not very new or exciting.
Waveblade by Camilla Kantola - 4: I think that the color shift takes away from the waveblade.
Bellows by Luz Piazuelo - 5: Not my cup of tea. Very difficult to discern, but completely new.
Emerald Heart by Luz Piazuelo - 5: Average. Not very different from regular jewels.
Potted Tree by Luz Piazuelo - 7: Pretty good, but not too usable.
Window Flowers by Luz Piazuelo - 8: Very nice, and a nice touch for spicing up mundane towns.

A nice looking sword.But, it's just that, a sword. Let's face it. We probably have too many sword graphics to choose from already. Usually, when you get a sword, you want to keep it, when you complete the scenario. I would be hesitant to actually use this in a scenario. I took off .5 because, while it looks nice, It is too 3-D for BoE.

It's not bad, but it's not good either. Nothing spectacular about it.

A really beautiful waveblade. The only problem is that you can't take it with you. Otherwise, a solid graphic. A definite improvement on the original waveblade.

I gave it one bonus point for originality, but it really is an unspectacular graphic. I've seen much better from this artist.

Add .5 bonus because of it's versitality. It can be a window flower, but can also be an alchemy item, and if arranged well, can make a lovely garden.
