2D Art Mini-Contests: Icons' Prison

[I3lackDeath]

There is a resize option in the button manger
you just go to Actions-->file to size to 64x64

That's not what I am looking for. That option simply resizes any image that is bigger than 64x64. The ATT and UPG icons are smaller, and when applying the original borders, they get resized automatically. That does not work with custom borders, though.

 

[Panda]

Well, this would be my entry post.
The inner shadows are fused to the respective borders. Additionally, I tested the TGA files in BTNManager, so I can pretty much guarantee that they work.
If you encounter any problems, please contact me. Sometimes BTNManager bitches around with tiny tiny details, when they should work without any problems.

WIPs

The PAS border should be the throne of the Queen of Hearts from American McGee's "Alice: Madness Returns". Unfortunately, the border was too large, so it cut off >30% of an icon...

Reference: Queen of Hearts

Edit:
Update 1: Improved BTN border.
Update 2: Added DISBTN border.
Update 3: Added ATC border (DISATC is not needed, they are the same).
Update 4: Added PAS and DISPAS borders.
Update 5: Remade PAS and DISPAS borders.
Update 6: Added ATT border.
Update 7: Added UPG border.

From left to right:
BTN - DISBTN - ATC - PAS - DISPAS - ATT - UPG

Loving these man..

The program defines all grayscale colors as original image shading, which intensity could be modified for each border. If border have any artifacts when applying to picture, make sure there are no "gray" pixels. In other words, changing a bit pixel color will fix the glitch.

Hmm.. why is there little white pixels everywhere?

 

[GhostKnife]

Hm, never done something like this. Worth a try!
Here's my attempt at it.

WIP:

Finished:

I did a little silver dragon claws to grasp the orb-like prison, I thought it was a cool concept at least.

It kinda has to be square... Since it's 64x64.

If you use this as a border, you're going to see the icon on the other edges.

Well this is mainly intended for custom icons, so I'd just use them to fit circular icons that I made myself.

Yeah I guess that would work.

 

[Kingz]

This contest has produced some interesting works so far.
Keep it up guys.

Edit:

Oh and i like the round border also, it has it's uses.

 

[I3lackDeath]

I like the idea of round borders, especially since this one's meant to resemble a Warden's glaive. However, it needs more shading, it's a bit dull at the moment.

 

[Static]

I may join i saw it to late but if i think of something i will join

Another WIP:

great job

Q: the contest ends on 12th of August, at 00:01 AM or 11:59 PM? If you know what I mean.

Also, will all borders be presented in poll, or only BTN ones?

If I may answer the latter question:
Pharaoh_ told me that people can tell the judges which borders of their entry they want to have included in the actual judging. Once each of the taken borders has been judged, the average score will be taken as the final result for the respective entry.

 

[Pharaoh_]

To ask the first question of Apheraz Lucent's, 23:59 PM. 00:00 is the new day

 

[Apheraz Lucent]

*panics and rushes to draw something*

I think I'll multiply whole icon size to 1024C, draw, and then resize. Wish me luck ^_^

 

[Pharaoh_]

Good luck then!

 

[I3lackDeath]

1024c???? You mean 1024x*insertnumberhere*?

That's HUGE. Rather work on something like 200% or 300% bigger, so 128x128 for example. You won't lose too many details then and can clear things up much more easily.

 

[grunt]

good luck !!

 

[JollyD]

Wish you luck ! ^)

 

[Apheraz Lucent]

I did a circular orb-alike border, with colorful gems in top corners and hands that hold the orb. Diablo II and III inspiration for style

Since I was unable to post WIPs, I'll post the complete set of creation images to prove that it's my work. Maybe I'll even do PAS borders ^^

On a side note, the poll can be tricky. People will mostly vote for users who have drawn several borders, rather than one BTN, in my opinion. Any 'solution'?

Solution = no poll at all. Let the judges decide. Polls usually only influence the result with 20-30% anyway, and having polls for every mini-contest would be quite a lot.

yeah, mini contest should be only with judges ^)

 

[Apheraz Lucent]

If I have time for a passive border, I'll make another circular selection, but with six to ten female hands holding each other around.

I'll try to experiment with low opacity white/black motions on the icon field to give the impression of a real orb. Not sure how will it look, but damn, I'll try

And a +1 to poll drop for this contest, sounds reasonable. Who are judges?

 

[I3lackDeath]

Who are judges?

Pharaoh_ hasn't appointed any yet, but is looking for some and has some candidates in mind.

 

[Panda]

Everything is cleared up and made into one post.

Just remember to keep an eye on updating that post, since the contest still runs for about 3 hours and 50 minutes.

 

[Apheraz Lucent]

I ask for an extension of ~ 1-2 hours, timezone issues, can't make it home on time to upload to fit the deadline.

Do you have your BTN and DISBTN borders finished?
That would satisfy the contest criteria and you'd have enough time to finish your other additional borders. The only "downside" would be that you couldn't include those in the judgings.

If it's actually that you couldn't upload the finished borders due to time issues, I think 1 or 2 hours of belated uploading should be fine. Do you disagree, Pharaoh_?

 

[Pharaoh_]

You have it, Apheraz Lucent; consider this is an extension!

Also, huge hug to The Panda for sorting them out and I3lackDeath for poking me about this issue!

 

[Sin'dorei300]

Here's my final entry:
BTN\DISBTN:

ATC\DISATC:

PAS\DISPAS:

SSC:

 

[I3lackDeath]

Very interesting, though the DISBTN could need some more desaturation. The shades of brown are still very prominent. Fitting icon choice aswell.

 

[Panda]

I fixed my mistake ! :X

 

[Apheraz Lucent]

Damn rush, should have thought about it on time

So. How my BTN entry looks like, down there, in four base colors. In the spoiler, a big image (WIP) and a resized one to 64c. Tested with BM, they both work, thought I think that the WIP shows better quality, but I'm out of time anyways T_T

awsome work guys !!

 

[FRENGERS]

I thing you guy must make the glass like ( With shadow and light )

 

[I3lackDeath]

A very nice idea, Apheraz, though I'd change the angle of the light source. It looks weird when it comes from above. You get more dynamics when it comes from the left or right top.

The DISBTN could be broken glass --> a crack in the orb and overall less saturation.

Also, bottom left black line is moved 1 pixel to the left, so it's not straight.

 

[Hemske]

Looks like I didn't get this done on time. Deadline was yesterday, no? Or is the timezones screwing with me?

If Pharaoh_'s extension counts towards all contestants, the deadline was today between 0:59 and 1:59.
