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.
 
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.

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:
