Little Icons

[Vercas]

Yeah! xD
You gave my a nice idea...
To make a different icon for the item when it's in the inventory.
I am on my way painting.

Well?
Should I remove the light also?
O_O"

 

[terradont]

If you mean the "discolights"(i'm still gonna call 'em that x3) then yes, they look like odd motionlines. If you mean the gradient light on for example the dagger, then also yes, or at least make it more transparent, so that it's faintly visible. It will still do the trick.

 

[Vercas]

Capsules added.
New runes added.

SHIELDS added!!
4x4...

I hope you like them!

 

[Deolrin]

The shields and the runes are really, really awesome.

 

[Vercas]

Thank you
I still need to improve that Round Silver Shield. It looks like a WIP, incomplete.

 

[Lmao.Me]

I like the runes and the pills xD

 

[Vercas]

Only?
Don't you like my shields? x(

 

[terradont]

I like the shields, but i think they'e too small. Too much black space makes them lose focus and detail.

 

[Vercas]

Okay...
I will note this...
"Terradont said too much black space makes the icons lose focus and details.
It's too late to make them bigger."

Edit:
I changed the style of the first post.
It's cooler now.

 

[Vercas]

Okay...
Bumped.

I really need to know what do you think about the chestguards.
I would like some criticism... Good or bad...
How can I improve them?

 

[Lmao.Me]

I like the chestplates, but I think the shoulders on the 3rd should be sticking to the body.
Also, the gold looks a little green... You should change it to the color of the Gold Round Shield.

 

[Vercas]

It IS golden!
Remember, they are .JPG !!
Of course they have such a low quallity!
Mhm...
I could give you the PDN if you want. >.>

And, honestly, if the shoulder pads were actualy attached to the armor, how could they move? They couldn't. They are (actualy, were) attached to the shoulder with leather belts (in the middle ages).

In that case...
Leather Belt is Equal to Missing
Or something like that.

 

[Deolrin]

I agree with Lmao.Me here, at least make the leather belt. And the yellow on the gold ones is... meh. Not shiny enough. That applies to the shields as well, btw.

 

[terradont]

My first thought: Shading needs to be improved, with highlights and a more irregular shading.

Second is the shape, especially around the arms. Look at this picture for both these points.


Lastly, tose lines that define some of the shpae, like the belt, needs to be darker and more visible.

But it's a good start

 

[Vercas]

xD

Thanks for these comments.
I will try to do better next time.
But still, I need to improve my imagination. I am not capable of catching every detail on the images.

I am not sure about the next icons...

 

[Sabelion]

Realy nice icons.

 

[Vercas]

I paint when I am depressed usualy...
But now I am too depressed and I don't think I can paint now...
All I'm doing is borders... Just gothic things... I am really out of ideas and inspiration.

 

[Lmao.Me]

Make a Gothic Sword.

 

[Vercas]

I can't. I am not good enough. I need to practice more...
I will soon show some of my work here...

 

[terradont]

Bah, not good enough isn't a factor. Just try your best, and the outcome will be good.

If you want better imagination you need to try some new things

 

[Vercas]

Any suggestion?
I really need new ideas... That's right.

 

[terradont]

What about claws that you strap onto your fingers, like Freddy from the Terror movies?

A staff with a solar system at it's tip?

A chained sickle?

A sword fused with a gun?

 

[Vercas]

Summon Zombie added.
I also uploaded it.
I practiced a lot...
I really need feedback.

 

[RaijinSpark]

those new ones are nice ;D

 

[Vercas]

New ones?
Do you mean new one? >.>

 

[RaijinSpark]

yeah!

 

[Vercas]

Glad to hear that.
Not like the ones on the thread...

 

[RaijinSpark]

why what does it have??

 

[Vercas]

I am at the 7th version of the icon. Take a look at it's description.

 

[RaijinSpark]

ok ok..

 

[Squidle]

They look like... Runescape Icons?

And the first four pills reminds me of MapleStory

 

[Trillium]

actually i find these icons rather nice, 'cos they are of some different style, than the majority on hive. more cartoonish, w/o borders, etc. If only they were more, they would be really useful, though. They don't fit with WC3 icons at all and they are too few to replace WC3 icons completely

 

[Vercas]

Thanks for the nice comments.
Right now I am not at my computer... I am in Bulgaria (I live in Romania). I will do more when i return home.

 

[drowelf]

I like, I like. The new anime style icons are pretty neat, nothing that I would use (too lazy to make new icons for everything to fit the style) but still cool.

As a note, if you want to "fix" the old runes, it's actually not hard, so long as you have Adobe photoshop or paintshop pro or something, you can transform the layer so that the rune image itself is at an angle, then add an layer effect (I forget what it's called, but it's the opposite of emboss) so it looks like it's actually imprinted.

Good Work and Good Luck

Awesome! In wich town are you? I live in Varna xD

 

[Vercas]

GODNESS!
I was in Varna, more precisely Albena but now I am back home...
I couldn't visit the forum again...
Sorry, but it could be nice to see you!

 

[HailFireer]

Dude awesome.
So I want to became iconer/skinner. What program did you use?

 

[Vercas]

A simple, not too practical program, Paint.NET
www.getpaint.net

 

[HailFireer]

O rly. I already had it

 

[Vercas]

It's more user-friendly than Photoshop.
I cannot choose between my Photoshop CS, my Photoshop CS2 and my Photoshop CS3 Extended Portable.

 

[HailFireer]

Meh, I wish I had a Photoshop. But its so expensive

 

[Vercas]

If you say so...

 

[Deolrin]

Okay, better

 

[Vercas]

Okay. Now do the same.

 

[Vercas]

Bump.

After following a little art lesson, I've decided to try my skills and make a new icon.
What do you guys think about it?

 

[Addicted07]

NICE!! hehe
