Icon Contest

[Swift]

Just practise with the existing smilies first. Experiment with the different tools available and try to modify your smiley. For me, I resized the pictures that I want to add (eg. Sword) and pasted them on an existing smiley.

If you're working on a saved file, remember to select and copy the picture, and then paste it on a new screen. This is to ensure that you're able to add colours and/or pictures without any weird colour effects.

The typical pixel dimensions for the smilies are 20 by 20.

[Corsair5]

Hm. I'll try that.

[Swift]

Kailkay sent in more smilies.

- Pirate

- Thief

Whatcha think of them?

[Corsair5]

Pirate is good, but the thief looks more like a guy in earrings.

[Swift]

Any suggestions on how Thief can be improved?

Made two smilies.

- Fairy
- Wizard

Hmm... that staff doesn't look so good. I'll probably have to get him a new one. Anyway, what do you think of them, and how can they be improved on if they don't look so good?  

[Lord_Bierhoff]

they look cute.  maybe you could add a magic effect to the staff

[Swift]

Thanks. I'll probably add the magical effect after completing a few more stationary smilies.

[Jafar]

Thief is prettp good, I think you need to make it more clear that it's a dagger though. There's something funny about the Pirates mouth...maybe if it was more of a snarl...

Fairy is cool, and I agree with LB about the magic effect.

[Corsair5]

Give him a hood, maybe, or a little cloak.

[KLK]

The thief was supposed to be a moving .gif where the dude falls from the top like QFG 2 beginning, looks to either side, and takes off. :/

I'll have to stay up till 1 o'clock again, working on them.

Gyar.





Actually this is really wierd now, since the water drop smiley worked.... Huh. Ah well.  

One day, when I look back on this, I won't want to destroy the human race.

Unfortunately, until then... I toy with nuclear physics! Ahahahaha!

[Striker]

Pirate = alright, but the mouth (or mustache is weird)
Thief = EDIT: I guess we'll wait for the full animated one

Fairy = The smile is a bit too large, I think.  Other than that, excellent.
Wizard = Quite good.  Maybe a pointy hat, too?

[Swift]

That's odd. The file you sent me didn't move at all. Also, the background was still there, so I had it removed via Photoshop (which also didn't detect that it's an animated gif).

[edit] Striker: K, thanks for the comments. I'll see what I can do about them.

[Swift]

Ok, I edited the smileys. How are they?

- Original
- Version 2

- Original
- Version 2
- Version 3

What do you think?

[Corsair5]

Wiz 3 = Best, imo.

[Ignus_Draconus]

I agree with corsair, but why does the wiz look so agry?
