Taking icon requests

[MurderMode]

Well said, and your right it means less work, which isnt frowned upon, its just a way of not having to minimize your image and lose quality over a border.

It doesn't mean less work, it means what you see is what you get. Drawing at the actual size is actually harder but the quality is better then drawing it larger and reducing it. Also yeah, drawing it inside the border instead of pasting the border over the top reduces the chance of the border giving it a bad crop and losing the edges that you may want in the image. I used to draw icons at a larger size when I first started but I found the results to be rather noobish and ugly.

Another trick that I find useful for making icons is that I draw them at gimps standard 72 ppi, which means when you deselect viewing the image dot for dot it gets larger and slightly blurred.... and when viewed in this way if any of the icon becomes blurred beyond recognition you can tell it is going to look bad in game.

Msg to other volunteer iconists - Do the requests and post em here, not your own experiments! You'll learn faster if you try do someone else's idea rather then something already formed in your own head. Also re-colours and CnP is a good place to start, but if you don't try doing them free hand then you'll never really improve. If you think you can't draw truth is you probably can't... but with a love of creating cool things and a little persistance you can find that will change. Before long you won't remember the time when you couldn't draw a damn thing the way you wanted to, it'll flow right out of ya!

WOW! I wonder if you are good at modeling... are you?

Murdermode, I don't want to sound picky but can you make the mega slam icon look like there's a more powerful slam going on, Because my mega slam spell makes shock waves go out from the infernal in almost all directions.

thanks in advance.

I just made a armorgolem

My:

Origional:


I dont think its that good, but ehmm, its better than my others

 

[MurderMode]

Murdermode, I don't want to sound picky...

BLEARGH! seems like you want to sound picky to me

How about this then?

An awesome method of getting the result you want first time is just through explaining any special requirements upon request, it keeps both of us happy. This was no big deal tho, I still had the original saved in multi-layers. So if it's still no good it shouldn't be a biggie to change it again

Hi there i need a few skeleton icons for my map.
Heres what i need.

-A basic skeleton upgrade icon.Something like a skeletal face with a up arrow or + next to it.
-A 'Summon Flaming Skeleton' icon.Just the 'Giant Skeleton Warrior' icon with flames i gues.

Thats all i need for now.

I did some simple recolors.
Haven't been active much lately, school is hell :|

Tell me the changes you want. Vengeance is already grey, so I didn't really do anything to it.
