BTNTimeSpell

I see the lack of icons capable to represent "timestop" or any other time spell.
This may be used as a spell of time, as a lich reincarnation spell (philactery) etc.

Also the hourglass I drew may be useful as item since there's no item icon capable to represent one. So here's the same hourglass without the backgound (which is cnp):

I will attach this button in the next post in this thread as attachment.

Pretty nice for time-related spells, items, researches etc.
Also, I thinm its best to admit your guilt immediatly, cuz they will be even angrier if they find out themselves

Well it was quite intended, I planned to use this background and I announced in another icon thread (check the "Objective" icon for lulz) :).

Do you mean that you CnP:ed the hourglass onto the background or what?
no :p
I cnped the background UNDER the hourglass on lower layer in photoshop and applied gradient to it ^^.

If you want to know the details, there was an icon (which was sadly deleted... sadly because the thread had a lot of lulz) which was just a "whirl" effect in paint.net and it was called Objective! Well, at least author tried to persuade us that a random whirl looks like a real Objective :), so he called his icon. Then Leeroy googled "paint.net whirl" to show the author how many same images are on the net. There was one googling result with a very nice whirl called "magical whirl" on the same page so I told to Leeroy that I will make an icon of it for fun. Well, finally I thought that it doesn't deserve my time to try to form the image into something so I just used it for a background for my image. The hourglass is a thing I've made myself. Also it took a hell load of time to draw it because I tried to follow Lioness' advice and used hard brush to make it not "blurry", and with my "jumpy" mouse it's a pain in the @.

Btw, nice new piggy you've got.

P.S. Also the idea to use this type of background (radial somewhat random waves) appeared when I looked on a paper box for my shaving blade "gilette", there was a blue background with waves coming out of center as if a drop fell there, I liked it and got an idea.

I have all possible icons for every item from Fallout 1/2/tactics. However I don't publish them because they are just ~10-30% freehand, cause I wanted them to look like in the original game in my map (for "old school" feeling) so I didn't alter them much.

Thats almost the same thing.
Excuse me, I do not agree. In your case it sounded like I've made this simple background which is just suitable and cnped the main object while in reality it's opposite. ^^

Thank you for kind words. I enjoy the fact that you like it.

MEH! xD That's not what i meant. I just wanted to know if you had taken the hourglass from some webb-page or drawn it yourself. But maybe i wrote it bad. (Might be my english. Sorry for that.) Well anyways i love both the background and the hourglass. :cute:
