More Icons-IDEAS OPINONS/FLAMES!!! all Welcome!!!

[meerschaum]

I did 3 more icons ImageFX,Yam,Frogger ... gimme your opinons and what the next 3 should be... I'm aiming to do about 3 a day or so...

Icons here

[meerschaum]

there is a common theme... they all rock ... but seriousely... MorphOS is about choice... people can choose whatever icons they want... I'll make a whole bunch and some may use of them then thats great...if not?... ohh well... I'm not interested in changing the style  of the icons now... I'm going to go ahead and create the detailed set in a detailed way... MOS has great Icons as-is... but I'm going to try to suppliment that...not make Wintendo crapicons for MOS and try to make it into something its not...

[meerschaum]

and Warface thats precisely the idea... I want to make a set to fill holes and give people ideas more then to be a set of its own... I will extend it over time and perhaps choose a theme and redo some of them (most of the icons are 3D renderd in Lightwave with some light touch ups in Aura(TVPaint) 2.5b)... but if anyone wants the Icons they are free... I'll post what I have done now wherever I can get some hosting and link it... as Morphicons.zip in a little while... you can grab them all see wich ones ya like...see what ya dont like... its all for the fun of it...  if anyone wants the .PSD or .Aur if you prefer files to modify and mess with them let me know and I'll post them to (though not all since some are pretty damn hefty)

[meerschaum]

all icons when zipped are 1.10MB ... if anyone wants to host them there wont be more then 600 downloads world wide heh... if you would just like to host a specific set e.g the 128x128 set it's smaller only 768KB ... let me know if anyone wants them I'll DCC to ya over on IRC at  Arcnet channel  #Morphzone  

[meerschaum]

well I made these origially 128x128 as I said... I then shrunk them...some say the smaller ones e.g the 32x32 look blurry...that is inevitable since they where shrunk so much...alot of MOS Icons started off rather small...the 64x64's look fine...if you want to try your own crunching techniques you can have the 128x128's and try with them... I'm sure if you used a better scaleing engine then I did you could get better results... but since I couldnt save transperant PNG's properly within Aura I had to use Photoshop to scale..wich of course sucks..  

they look familier from elseware because to be honest its hard to invent a style...if something looks good... its hard to get the idea out of your head when working on things... I didnt directly copy anything else... but it shows the style's I like...

[meerschaum]

Also I run very high res here 1600x1200... and I'm a selfish bast3rd as you already know... I'm gonna use my Icons and I didnt want to have to look at the small ones like I do in Windows...  hehehehehe

DaveP that gives you an idea of what the disparity is...and also what the icons look like in smaller sizes... I consider them acceptable..

[meerschaum]

Can the YAM icon, not have the word 'cents' on it? Make it less US-Centric ?

sure thing... I didnt know we where the only ones useing 'cents' ... forgive my ignorance on that one... what would you prefer it say?... or would you prefer nothing?... I'm open to making differant versions it dosent take much time... and this is an effort to benefit the 'community' as a whole... thats why I'm all for giving away the .PSD's and letting anyone else who wants to work on them take a shot at it...

French version gets first dibs next to english though ... its only fitting

[meerschaum]

you can use them wherever you can make them work...their .PNG images ... use with freedom yee amigans...
my gift to the community... some of the icons will be MOS oriented because thats my system of choice...and right now primary target audience ... since MOS is able to test them out (thanks Targhan) to see they work right... but by all means ... get some hosting... and I'll start uploading them... you guys can download/convert/change/whatever... I just like seeing some use come of them... if AROS wants them I'd be glad to clean them up a bit and donate them to AROS... (I doubt their pro enough for that though ;P )

sadly what happend for me was I was going to buy a Pegasos (in fact placed an order) but had to cancel out due to hard financial times (lost a gig I had for a interior design company doing a site) by the time I got that straightend out...there where no pegs left and I wasnt exactly in a situation to spend 1000 on a Pegasos (600 for the board+at least 400 in other parts)... so I'm waiting for Peg2 ... should be able to recycle some parts from other rigs I got the piece it together...
