Here are some Icon's I have made for an automated trade system in Serra Avenger's project Battleship's Antartica. He was originally requesting simple icons for the system, much like the buttons on a dvd player, but the idea of the trade system inspired me and I thought it deserved icons more fitting to the theme. This is what I came up with -

The first is the icon to show your recorded route.

The second is the icon for recording the actions you take on your trade route.

The third is to finalize the recorded route and to stop recording.

The fourth is for the unit to start/begin the recorded route.

...and finally the fifth is for resetting/discarding the last recorded route so you can start all over again.

All of the icons were completely hand drawn in GIMP with a mouse, with the exceptions of the quill and ink (when I googled for a reference pic I saw it and thought it would fit perfectly with minor edits) and the wax seal for the start icon, which again I googled and found a fitting stock to modify (I was too lazy to start it from scratch lol).

Some other icons I have recently made -

This is another request I had made, it is to be used in conjunction with the Ice Demon skin on the hive workshop by TDR. I used a screenshot of the model as a base layer for proportions and then free-hand drew a painted layer over the top.

This lion I just made for fun, it is completely freestyled in GIMP, just using a mouse. I then did a slight recolour for the passive ability button, thinking it could be used as a kind of 'King of the Jungle' rage type aura.

Finally, just some other requests I had done. The first was a CnP of a 3rd Class Shin-ra Soldier from FF7, which was of poor quality so I had to re-paint the whole image over the top. The second was just an edit of the BTNsteelmelee which required blood to be added.

Just a couple of random icons I made for practice, they are all freehand. I took a halfway warcraft/anime approach on the character design. Here is the final and tightened version of the backstab -

A couple of recent icons, the barbarian and a demon -

both are freehand, extracted from my brain via gimp

... a couple more recent request icons. The first was for a skin on the hive called 'root elemental', the second is an icon I did for a request 'rain of sheep' which I edited again once complete to look like a flood (more useful that way imo lol) and the last is a slightly tougher and more neanderthol looking peon icon

Best freehand icons I've seen on this forum. They look very much to be "blizzard-style."

Blizzard should seriously reconsider their icon-making team.

aha wow, what a compliment... ta :D

...but no, I'm no where near that good. Blizzard's War3 icons are really intelligent in design... and they were made like over 5 years ago :|

I know sc2's icons are more symbolic so we won't see anything real 'wow' there, but I can't wait to see what the icons and items look like in D3... hopefully they are all 2D images and not static 3D objects in the inventory, I really dig in game and hand drawn blizzard stuff. Actually they have a vid of the inventory hey? I'll have to check it out.

Anyways I added a couple more icons to the list ;)

    Looks like Google fixed whatever mistake that made the recipes on the site go crazy and we are no longer trending towards a recipe site lol - I don't care though because it motivated me to spend alot of time on the site improving it and at least now the content people are looking at is not stupid and embarrassing like it was when I first got back into this like 5 years ago.

    Plus - I have a pretty bad ass recipe collection now! That section of the site is 10 thousand times better than it was before

    I got one more day of community service and then I'm free from this nonsense! I polished a cop car today for a funeral or something I guess

    They also were digging threw old shit at the sheriff's office and I tried to get them to give me the old electronic stuff, but they said no. They can't give it to people because they might use it to impersonate a cop or break into their network or some shit? idk but it was a shame to see them take a whole bunch of radios and shit to get shredded and landfilled

    Hmm, how do I change my signature?
  • tom_mai78101 tom_mai78101:
    Signatures can be edit in your account profile. As for the old stuffs, I'm thinking it's because Blizzard is now under Microsoft, and because of Microsoft Xbox going the way it is, it's dreadful.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I am not big on the recipes I am just promoting them - I use the site as a practice place promoting stuff

    @tom_mai78101 I must be blind. If I go on my profile I don't see any area to edit the signature; If I go to account details (settings) I don't see any signature area either.
