Well, I suppose that we could allow alpha transparency in icons somehow, although editing them in real life is a bit tricky.

Okay- here's the screenshot of my new underwater combat wild...a little hard on the yes, I know. :) That's why I'm just posting a ss, ladies and gents.

Hey, looking good, although I guess you are still working on it! But what is that HUGE thing in the corner? An elasmosaurus? That dolphin looks mighty tiny adjacent to it... :D

Is this your shallow water set?

Re: new icons from manikus
 

This is the shallow water set.

Huge thing in the corner? Oh my goodness- what is that? I didn't even see that when I was down there during my dive! I was too busy looking at the big shark that looked so hungry.
Whatever it is, to me it looks like some kind of "sea dragon"...

:D:D:D:D:D

Re: new icons from manikus
 

:D Me like big icons...

Re: new icons from manikus
 

I decide to re-do the shadows, too. I still have the all-black version, but I decided to add in the deep blue semi-transparent version as well.

Just b/c you like big icons...;)

Introducing the Sea Dragon! She'll have stats and a monster database entry when I make my undersea pack available. :)

Re: new icons from manikus
 

This sea dragon is beautiful! The only thing that does not convince me is the neck (while attacking). Seems like it is becoming shorter.

Re: new icons from manikus
 

Good point...I'll look at the model. Seems there is sideways movement of the head that is not visible in my render. I'll fix that as soon as I get back from my meeting. :)

Re: new icons from manikus
 

Hmm, there is this shadow behind the head that might indicate a sideways moving. Okay! :)

I am not that familiar with AD&D-monsters, anyway, I would expect a sea-dragon to spit fire (even under water). :D

However: This is really a cool icon!

Re: new icons from manikus
 

Okey dokey, she's got her neck looked at by the chiropractor and is all better. Look to the post above for the new and improved sea dragon. :D

I don't have enough room to put a breath weapon in the icon pic, but in the future I will probably make a new attack pose that gives me some more pixels to play with. ;) As far as I know, there is not an official sea dragon in AD&D (I am certain that there is not in 2nd edition.) Fire would be cool, but I kind of imagined her with a steam jet breath weapon- all the heat of fire, but since it's underwater... :D:D:D
