Icons and Hello!

Telwyn · 03-16-2005, 03:39 PM

Hi to everyone.

This is my first post here and I wanted to say hello to everyone.

In my eagerness to get SOMEthing done, I have recently been working on some icons which I have posted here: http://www.freewebs.com/hauntedhollow/dungeoncraft.htm

I know they aren't perfect but I don't think they are too bad for a first attempt. If anyone wants to use them, feel free.

Hopefully, I'll be starting to work on a mod/campaign for DC soon, so I'll post here again if I have any news.

Once again, nice to meet everyone.

Hi and welcome to Ironworks!!!
Oh, and welcome to the little DC area

Hey, those Icons are great!! there is something about them that makes them stand out.
I really liked the dragon one

lol, your Ogre icon looks somewhat like a Predator

Thanks Hivetyrant.

I agree about the Ogre, it does look like the predator [img]smile.gif[/img] That's the one I am least happy with.

I am working on more so I'll add to them as I go along.

No,no,no, dont get me wrong, it looks good, It just reminded me of a predator thats all, I suppose the bald head and the hair comming out the side did it

Those are some great icons. I especially like the dragon and otyugh (and DC can always use more monster icons). I can't wait to see more.

I just saw your Greater Demon- very nice. I've done some Outer Planes creatures (you can find them by following the link below) and would some day like to do a huge campaign set in the lower planes...but not a Planescape setting, just standard 2nd Ed AD&D.
Keep 'em coming!

Thanks for the kind words Manikus. The demon was probably the toughest one to do so far, but I think it turned out ok.

I think a campaign in the lower planes would be good. Did you have ideas for a story line and so on?

I'm playing around with DC and trying to learn how to use it so I can get started on something. I don't have any concrete ideas yet, but I'll certainly post when I do.

One quick question. I downloaded the template for the art and was thinking about trying to do some wilderness combat walls but noticed that it had a set palette. Can they have 24 bit colour like the icons or do I have to use the set palette?

EDIT: Oh, I forgot. I have checked out the icons on your site and they are excellent. I have found the standards on pretty much all the DC artwork I have seen to be top rate. I especially liked the stuff that was displayed in the art competition not too long ago. Are there any plans to do another one of those?

Telwyn,
I checked out your page, great human thief and the dragon. I download all the icons and keep at it. Which paint program do you use?
Right now I am working with Pixia I am also reading all the FRUA newsletters.

Telwyn · 03-19-2005, 07:08 AM

I'm using Neopaint. It's pretty simplistic in some ways but it does what I need and I've been using it for some time so I know how to use it pretty well and what it's capable of.

manikus · 03-19-2005, 01:18 PM

The wilds can be at 24 bit just like everything else. They were probably just at 256 b/c they were originally FRUA wilds.
Kaltusara has some good wilds on his page-
