As I understand it, the other thread is for Works-In-Progress, then when people think a work is up to snuff, it's posted here.

I posted the orc-sword in the other thread on 13 February and have received zero comment to date. I personally figured it was probably ready, so I submitted it here.

I'm not quite sure what you mean re: fuzziness. Hopefully this edit has fixed the problem and it's okay to submit now. If not, please let me know in the WIP thread and I'll continue work on it there.

Hi irrevenant! I like your sword, but took the freedom to have a go at it, enhancing outlines and so... Two versions, since I can't figure out which one I prefer.

I would have to say I like irrevenant's version best.
However, out of Leonhard's edits I prefere the first one.

Leonhard's first one has a nice, clear look to it.

Since more work is clearly required, I've taken this WIP back here.

Thing is, irrevenant's sword doesn't seem to fit the Grunt. But i guess that is okay, we have the archers, which i can see using a crude, machete-looking sword like that one.

For Grunts, however, seems like something more close to a scimitar would be the way to go, it looks like they praise swordmanship, and while a shining sword may not be neccesary, something less rusty/damaged, although grizzly/crude, would be a better option IMO.

If a curve sword can be shown in the icon, and if the crude smithing style can be kept, i would be very interested in seeing the result.

Here is a new version of plague staff. Human skull -> goat-like skull.

Trivial note: the symbol in the forehead has a real shamanistic meaning in one specific culture..

I also tried to add more ethereal feeling to the bane blade, but it wasn't very succesful attempt. The image's layer structure is not too flexible for pushing the picture to that direction. Maybe I'll try again later..

hmmm...

Not quite "goat" enough for me, I'd say, but we can get it there.

I didn't have Internet while drawing = no reference pictures. Do you want the picture with all layers, I've got enough of it for now?

I'm busy with the castle projects now..

Hello there!

Having (more or less) successfully passed their first crash test in the open forum, I post here the two following icons for the remaining tweaking they require. Any comments?

Here is the plague staff with layers, so the shape of the skull is more easily edited. It is in photoshop format.

Since there's no reason the player should specificly expect an actual goat skull, i don't see that it matters. It's just a stylized caving of a evil horned skull, which may or may not bring "goat" to the players mind.

Leohard:
the gleaming tip of the scorpion's tail is probably overdone. If there was a drop of poison dripping from the tip you might expect a smaller star-burst, otherwise that one particular part doesn't fit with the realism of the new icons IMHO.

As Irrevenant and you asked for, I tried to add a drop of poison, but I am not satisfied with it. What do you think? There is the .xcf file somewhere in the scrathpad thread if you want to have a go at it.

I modified my old fist icon. Now it is a zombie fist without pointy nails. This is meant for the ordinary zombie units.
