    I love them all, except the SoF. I still liked the one w/o the veins in the mairne. But you can't please everyone.

    Can't wait to use these.

    Shaz you are very talented keep up the good work the new icons look great. The focus icon needs some thing more.

    they look absolutely incredible in·game; the only thing i dont like is how the bottom icon on each upgrade stack seems to overlap the top icon on the next. however, i don't know how often you'd have a chance to notice that in the middle of a game...

    Ya I don't think I can do anything about that short of making the sprite smaller. Ehh, it's not that bad. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    They all look fantastic now <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile-fix.gif' /><!--endemo--> Great stuff Shaz, best thing i love about it, is that you take to heart all the community suggestions <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo--> Kinda makes it a personal love for these things!

    As for the overlapping, it's not really something that detracts though, it's just different. Gives them a 3d-esque look to things.

    Also, in my last post i had a bunch of suggestions typed up, but a frieking lightning storm took out power in our street for a half hour :/ doh.

    I may as well still input, for all it's worth lol.
    My only crit with sof, is that after seeing the ingame shot, the actual smaller veins aren't apparently obvious. Perhaps trying out one of your previous concepts, with the sillhoette and the glow around the heart might be worthwhile, to keep with the sillhoette theme you have going with the sensory graphics.
    Also, i still think regen needs to be broken up a bit from the greeny-ness of it all. I suggested orange veins akin to the fade-look model trimming before, and i still think it might work to give it a more kharaaney feel....just a suggestion though.
    And im not sure about adren, i think the skulky looked suited to it, as the other 2 MC graphics are in game depictions too, the human heart is a little 'alien' to the aliens =D

    Hehe take it with a grain of salt though, whatever pleases you works for us <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    Ya I think I agree with ya on the SOF, doesn't match the others. If it were a bigger graphic it might work, but it's too small for the veins to be easily visible. I'll try messing around tomorrow on it, and try to get around to releasing it.

    wow shazbot... thats really tight... im in love w/ the redemp icon... i might just get redemp just so i can see the icon on the side of my screen.. <3

    and i agree w/ lotus.. im uncomfy w/ the sprites overlapping at the bottom... but thats minor and i could give a sh!t

    Okay i've been busy with school today, so I don't think i'll get around to releasing them today. Here's some concepts I've whipped up...

    Exhibit 1: Here we got the original regeneration with green "veins".

    Exhibit 2: Here we got the same sprite with redish "veins".

    Exhibit 3: Here's a concept for the SOF. I'm hoping that the veins will be more visible when I put them in game compared to the older version.

    Exhibit 4: Here lays the older version of adrenaline.

    Exhibit 5: New version of adrenaline, hopefully it depicts the feeling of energy...

    Exhibit 6: Slightly different graphic, with a different angle.

    The reason I posted this is to get an idea of what might be a better adrenaline and regeneration sprite. I'm bias towards 1 & 5. Another reason for posting this is so I could write "exhibit"... heh

    Tell me what you think looks best.

    Nice job, I like the new sof but the regen is too green and the red veins just don't look right. I like 5 and 6 but still they just don't seem right. I don't know why.

    number 1 is good cus 2 looks like a christmas wreath, 3 is sweet, those veins look good, and yeah 5 is also good, 6 looks weird at that angle

    maybe try and make the jaggy thing less wide... here ill show you, sort of more lightning boltish

    sorta like that shape maybe?
  • WindburnWindburn Join Date: 2003-08-02 Member: 18711Members, Constellation
    i love the sof, it's fantastic - hope it turns out in game too! I'm still not 100% with the regen, i think the red is a bit overboard, i prefer the green one over that one. As for adren, i think i like #6, the glowing around it is consistant with the other 2 MC graphics.

    Keep it up!

    New adrenaline prototype:

    Note: I used that graphic MrSocks attached, and the heart was hand drawn (hope you can't tell).

    Now I think I need to tackle caraspace and silence... improve them a little.

    it can ship my "packages" across the world thats what

    the question is what can it do for <b>you</b>!
  • WindburnWindburn Join Date: 2003-08-02 Member: 18711Members, Constellation
    Hehe hot!
    Without bolts is awesome, i think the bolts will be a little drowned out in game.
    And brown is win!
    Nice!
  • ShazbotShazbot Join Date: 2003-03-05 Member: 14328Members
    Ummm... I don't know how to say this.

    I went silhouette crazy!
  • WindburnWindburn Join Date: 2003-08-02 Member: 18711Members, Constellation
    Hehe i think the MC and the SC ones would work nicely like that, but the DC graphics really take a hit- they were looking really nice non sillhoetted <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->
    I think maybe the sillhoette is just best for the MC, it's about ready for completage i'd say <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->
  • ShazbotShazbot Join Date: 2003-03-05 Member: 14328Members
    Ya i was just thinking that's it's odd to have the MC's and SC's silhoutted and not the DC's... I'll see what I can do.

    mmm.....i dunno....don't think it suits cara and regen.
    Maybe release a complete sillhoette pack after the normal one?
    They were looking really good before <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->
  • Falcon_FuryFalcon_Fury Join Date: 2004-09-26 Member: 31946Members
    In the final pack you should just have the sc sillhoetted. I like the adren though. Nice job.
