Re: New Icons!
 

Well, no unicorn yet, as I had a project I was already working on - a sort of pre-horn (paraceratherium). But now that that icon is finished, I can start on the unicorn soon... ("Soon" is a figure of speech, of course :D )

Re: New Icons!
 

I got to work on some icons and have done all of the humans that I have requested above. :) I still need to do the humans on horseback, but I think I made some good headway.

I look forward to seeing a unicorn. :D A pegasus would be cool too. ;)

Re: New Icons!
 

One thing I am not sure about is the size of a unicorn - big horse size? Small horse? (Medieval pictures of the beast seem to depict it as rather small - I suppose if a huge, draft horse-sized unicorn fell to sleep in the lap of a dainty virgin (often depicted sans clothing, no less), which was the apparent typical strategy, the dainty virgin would probably get crushed :D )...

I think I will size it about the size of a wild horse perhaps...

Re: New Icons!
 

I think that they are definitely on the smaller side as far as horses go. Smaller works good for my need. :)

Oh, how about a stag? Then maybe we could start getting some Arthurian mods... :ninjas:

Re: New Icons!
 

Hmm - will do a bit more research, methinks. :)

You sure do work quickly, though, manikus! ;)

Will consider the stag - then I can have a whole herd of herbivores! :D

Re: New Icons!
 

Hey... erm... I for some reason can't find manikus' requests on the thread anymore... What were the other equines again?

Re: New Icons!
 

Ah, well. I've done a unicorn icon now... Hope it is good for whatever you want to use it for :) (Unicorn hunts? The Last Unicorn? Unicorn vs. Narwhal? :D )

Re: New Icons!
 

My requests are in the Art Request thread. :)

They are some horses (of various colors), and two special chargers - one is a red and black zebra coloration and the other is black with rad tail/mane.

Re: New Icons!
 

Ahh - found them! :D

Hmm - one difficulty with doing the horses is size - standing still, a normal-sized horse can fit quite easily in a 2 x 1 square, but a horse attacking with hooves needs a 2 x 2 square, making the 1st frame empty on top (unbalanced in game).

For the unicorn, the horn is quite long, so the icon looks okay (2 x 2 for both frames), but not quite sure what to do about non-horned equines... perhaps a bite animation instead? (Horses DO bite, apparently...)

The other workaround would to be to draw a draft horse (a bigger horse) to hope that it fills the 2 x 2 space better...

In any case, the unicorn is about 13 hands tall - the size of a wild horse; a draft horse could be as big as 18 hands, while a war horse might be 15 hands or so...

Whatever you want to do is okay with me. :) I know, I'm no help what-so-ever. :ninjas:
