Requesting feedback on a custom cursor (W.I.P.)

[sunwarrior25]

Trying my hand at pixeling together a cursor for any custom map I decide to fool around with, and I've decided I need a little feedback. Please note that it is not, in fact, finished.

The cursor:

I left the "hovering over a dude" cursors as a grey-scale, since the game's going to change their color anyway. Not too proud of how I did the treasure chest in the "moving items around" cursor, and the "moving the screen around" cursor isn't finished. I'm going to try to make it a fireball.

Any comments and criticism are welcome, save for negative comments without any criticism.

That's very nice! What's the difference between the "treasure chest" one and the "no treasure chest" one, though? I mean, when do each of them appear?
The 'circle' on the main cursor does look a bit flat, though. That is to say, the shading is a bit cartoony.

Hmm? Oh, The treasure chest's the inventory cursor. I hadn't finished drawing it by then.

The circle? I honestly have no clue how to make that look better. I had 'coin' in my head when I first drew it.

Um... Here it is currently:

Nice.
I see you scratched the fireball idea; Why?

 

[sunwarrior25]

Don't worry, that's not the final one. I just have no idea how to do that effectively. Maybe if I mimic a particle emitter? No, that won't look good at all...

Also, I was going to make the "hover over a dude" cursor a spinning coin, but... Not so sure how to do that with 8 frames. :-/

Edit: Is the "move the screen" cursor the same color? Or does Warcraft III change its color too?

Edit2: What would anyone say if I tried to turn Mr. Top Hat Guy over there in my avatar into an icon? I don't especially have any use for him in a map, but... Maybe later. That's a bit off-topic, don't you think?

Edit3: I think I know how I could do it... be back in an hour or so...

 

[Deolrin]

Nah, the arrow doesn't change color.

'k, so then I don't have to draw it in a grey scale. I'll worry about it later then. Thanks!
