Suggestions For Addtional Icons(Poll)10/28/11

[Jon Bon 43]

I am working on an Icon pack made entirely from edited or recolored RTP graphics, ranging from graphics taken from, tilesets, characters, other icons, skill effects etc.

I currently have 560 or so icons varying from different types of things.

Below are some teaser pics(98%+) of the icons I currently have, and I was wondering if this community would be able to both comment on them in quality and usefulness, as well as suggest additional icons they would want added. Also, if you notice any spelling, grammar, or category mistakes on the icons, that helps too. Ignore the first 4 icons, you may have to scroll right after opening the teaser pic spoiler.

It's hard to tell since this is only a teaser, but there doesn't seem like enough potions or weapons.

 

Also, It would be really cool if you made more "system" icons (For menu options, i.e. item, skill, equip, save, quit, settings, map, etc) it seems like you might have some that would work for this, but I always find that those are the icons that seem to be missing from all icon sets (or I just haven't looked hard enough)

 

either way, I think these are really nice and I think it would be very useful to the community. I really like how they're based off of the RTP, which will make it easier to fit into rtp style games :)

I love your icon pack! Very impressive, for so many! The possibilities . . . . . . . . :shok: They numb my mind!

 

But asides from that, do you think you could add some unconventional weapons with their related skill icons?

 

For instance, Scythes, rifles, twin pistols, and of course, warhammers and viking axes.

Just saying, that would be awesome!

;)

@Kel

Agreed about weapons, thankfully Grimm suggested some hehe, and yeah had a feeling about potions, but was hoping I could get away with less haha.

You're a genius, system icons never occurred to me. I will definitely get on that.

I will probably do minimum one picture and one word icon for each.

 

@Grimm

Thank you, that is exactly the weapon inspiration I needed, it's what I think the pack is missing as well.

I will definitely do the scythe can't believe I didn't think of that lol. As for a war hammer did you see the double sided hammer in the weapon section on the far right(may have to scroll screen over, something like that?), it's near the pistol I made from scratch. Which brings me to the pistol, you thinking something like that(revolver) for the dual pistols?

I was on the fence about rifle being too advanced, but heck I'll make it.

Viking axes? Hmm like giant blade on them I guess?

Made me think what weapons I didn't add, Bow Staff, Nun chuck, Throwing stars, Throwing daggers, Sai, Cutlass,

 

 

Excellent suggestions both of you, thanks a ton, I couldn't agree more.

[Kiriashi 117]

I can't agree with Kell more, especially on potions.

 

I think you should have many variations of the same sprite with those kinds of things (potions, weapons etc).

 

There are many different types of potions in a game, (usually...) and RMXP only provides like 3 icons.

Absolutely, that's kinda the idea. That is in effect what the 560 icons already consist of. I have passed my level of inspiration as far as variations of the existing graphics and need people to make specific suggestions, much like Grimm and Kel did.

I currently only have the 2(3 if you count original) colors of potions, so I will do the existing graphics in every color I have available.

Also I am 'limited' in color choices as I will only use color scales preexisting in the RTP, as this is primarily what keeps the look the same.

 

Going to do some recolors and weapon creation tonight hopefully, thanks for the post.

 

As a side note, this is a teaser only in the aspect that you can not use the icons, those pictures are in effect 98%+ of the currently created icons.

[Kiriashi 117]

Sounds great. Make sure you use colors all in the same "palette" so they don't clash.

That was the very first thing I did, was take some well shaded RTP graphics and make my own RTP palette, you're spot on!

That was actually how I started, with pure recolors, then I got a little better and started doing edits, now I am close to being able to make most things from scratch, as I did with the excellent looking revolver, and the samurai sword.

Im seeing a rather lack in variety when it comes to Keys.... I would like to see more keys put into this pack :) other than that the stuff looks beautiful :)

 

EDIT: as for unconventional weapons.... Could you add Katars and Chain Weapons?

Just finished updating the post with the additional icons as per suggested/requested.

The pictures can be found in the original post in the Additions section.

 

Thanks for all the suggestions, I look forward to your feed back on the new icons.

Again, everyone feel free to suggest more icons for addition, or omission even.

[DragoonRyan 0]

more Gun icons there are just none to be found that will come out looking good and not blury and Xp only has 3 to start out with
