[32^2] Skill Icons

[azkanan]

These graphics are **NOT** to be used for any other games, or for anything really, except my own, Project Terra. If you do successfully rip them and use them, you agree to pay me £1,000,000.

Now, these are the first draft of Skill Icons for Project Terra.

In Project Terra, you learn the offensive and defensive side of a weapon - the defensive side aids you in dodging attacks **by** that weapon, made by others against you, whilst offensive aids you in attacking others - ergo why ranged weapons do not have a defensive side.

Red Aura is Offensive, Blue is Defensive.



Dolike? Constructive Criticism?

They're actually pretty good, but the only thing that I dislike is the aura surrounding all of them. How about just making a one pixel outline with the same colors?

BTW, Happy New Year!

[azkanan]

Thanks!

As for the outlines, it's meant to be a fiery affect, of sorts, and I personally prefer it to just outlines.

Some general skills:


Smelting : Bowmaking : Poleturning
–-------- : Weaponsmith : Armoursmith
Coppersmith : Locksmith : Blacksmith
Whitesmith : Goldsmith : Silversmith

[guzmanm]

Okay, being honest, I don't like 'em so much. Either they lack detail or you screwed up with the shading. As for the bowmaking, I didn't thought it was for making bows at all the first time I saw it < just thought you should know that. I still dislike the aura, but that's okay… that might just be me... ~( . o . )~

[cheatking]

I dun see em. :c

[ark0n]

Neither do I!! :O

[erkro1]

I recently wiped out my image host, to save space. Reuploaded. :)

In other news; Watch out guys, we got a bad ass here. Didn't see that comment coming at all.

Definitely not a fan of the blue and black backgrounds, or the red and blue effects around the weapons. Looks like too much spraypaint happiness in MSPaint.

Blue and Black background is to dissuade people from copy-pasting them out, making it difficult for newbies-with-paint to take. To be fair, the only people who steal are these people most of the time.

I have yet to come up with an alternative to the glow affects, any suggestions?

Edit;
Here are a couple of alternatives;

This one would use a shield or sword to show if it's offensive or defensive.

This one would show a tidier glow.

[Dark Crusade]

Looks better, background is much nicer. As for defensive and offensive, perhaps even make the brown background slightly red or blue? Or go with the first alternative with the shield in the background

This is why I like the Show Off section of Eclipse.

[Dark Crusade]

Looking much better. Make the outlines on the wood less spotty (I see random dots of dark brown around the handle?) and maybe even some darker shades on the axe head and it will look flawless. (:

[Jeff]

Now that's sexy :D
My one complaint is that the axe doesn't stand out enough from the background. Maybe try outlining the axe in white or black or something?

With a dark background that wouldn't do much. Change the handle's pallet to a lighter shade.

[Helpmeplz]

I feel as if the icons aren't telling what the skill does. But that may just be me. Like the axe, it could mean lumber jacking or axe mastery. Who knows?

A white outline would certainly make the handle more noticable, though changing the pallet would also work.

[azkanan]


Tadaa, finished! :)

Dolike?

[Jeff]

Acceptable, but I would've liked outlines.

[_Her0]

The new ones are DEFINITELY much better. I love them alot! Good job, they look really good.

[azkanan]

Thanks! :)
