I was never quite sure how the higher-end shards would appear, only that they would appear more and more brilliant. I very much like CrystalShard4.jpg, which might look good for the Crystal Fragment... I don't know. Now that you mention that they might not be perfectly cut gems...

EDIT: Grammar.

I tried shrinking and modifying CrystalShard4, but it kept losing too much definition and contrast to the point that it was just a jumbled mess of aquamarine. Sorry Chainy, but I did try, down to changing the background to a dark green, all except some around the base of the shards.

[Crane]

Here's another one that's a little tongue-in-cheek, as only the modern world use the Jolly Roger as the symbol for poison! This image will only tend to be seen for very short moments on an NPC, or for longer periods on a Protected, Invisible Mage, since the NPC in question marks a death trap.

Noxious Gas (I think that is what it's called)

[Angelus]

And with possible different background then the plain black.



Need to fiddle with it a bit more seeing as ingame its only 35x35 :/

Did this one cause my main is a cleric and i wanted wings (yesh, im selfish )

Edit: Forget to say what it is, its to replace the current pic that goes with the Angelic Scepter.

Nice on the scepter!

[Äññöÿäñcë]

Can we get a list of what needs pictures? <3

[Crane]

I think normally this is something players can do themselves with some hunting around. Generally, these days, Elf does most of the pictures, although I know some players still make submissions, at least I do occasionally.

Off the top of my head, I know the following monsters lack pictures (I haven't listed the ones that I have recently submitted pictures for... crossed fingers that they'll be approved):

Berzerker
Blackguard
Blackguard Burton
Blackguard Jouster
Caravan Guard
Dead Scientist
Dobermann (Its current picture is a Rottweiler, not a Dobermann)
Drider Scout
Drow Archer
Drow Blademaiden
Drow Elite
Drow Mistress
Dungeon Guard
Dungeon Initiate
Dux
Gh'ul'arg
Giant Spider Zombie
Gnoll Slave
Gnoll Watchman
Goblin Chieftain
Goblin Elite
Goblin Shaman
Herric
Hollow Man
Ice Troll
Lieutenant Burton
Lord Darksparrow
Lyzanthir The Enchanter
Mad Scientist
Maneater
Mountain Ranger
Mourner
Old Hermit
Persuaded Follower
Piranha Swarm
Plague Demon
Priestess Alan'cul
Priestess Kyorl
Priestess Nym'uer
Priestess Telanth
Psychotic Elf
Scarlet Daggers Informant
Silversail Defector
Sir Contril
Sludge Entity
Tax Lord
Telatin
Teptok
Teptok Loyalist
Teptok Warrior
Three-eyed Jack
Thief Guard
Vein Golem
Wall Crawler
Winged Vampire
Worthless Grub

i have a couple pics for potions, ill probably do a few more, but i really am tired of seeing the same potion ics used over and over again

[Crane]

Been almost a year since this topic was last used, but I've been working on a couple of pictures:

Castle Door

This was a screenshot from an Unreal Tournament level that I built in about 15 minutes, purely to make this image! Had to apply some gamma correction in Paint Shop Pro though because the screenshot came out too dark.



Stone Sentinel

This started as a hand-drawn image, then was scanned into Paint Shop Pro and filled segment by segment with a sandstone texture changed to a midnight blue colour, and then shaded, making good use of layers. Oh, and a background of the Full Moon was added too. Despite being large, it shrinks down relatively well, and if the original is made any smaller it tends to lose too much detail. This image took about a day to produce overall, although it was a bit start-stop, and I am very proud of it.

[«¤ºxXl3úÐXxº¤»]

Not too sure if anyone else as mentioned this. However there are atleast 3-4 diffrent monsters/bosses with the time knight picture.

I think imhotep and some thing else have the same picture as well though i can't be too sure.

[Crane]

I think Imhotep's picture is unique; the Mummified Pharaoh's picture is shared with Elshira though, and the Mummified Priest with the Zombie, Mummy and Mummified Slave.

The following monsters have the Time Knight picture, which is a fairly generic image of an armoured fighter:

Black Knight
Bodyguard
Chief Bodyguard
Master Thief
Scribe
Spirit of Ruh'guul
Time Knight
Undead Marcus


EDIT: Forgot one.

I didn't realise that the Castle Door already had a picture:

[Crane]

I thank JLH for uploading the images, but I'm not entirely convinced of his modification to the brightness of the Stone Sentinel:



This is a comparison of my original submission (the darker one) and what is now picture 3601 side-by-side as they would appear in-game.

The intention was to cast the Stone Sentinel under a midnight environment to give it that eerie blue colour (it would most likely be sandstone-coloured in normal light), but brightened up it really doesn't look right, and is at real odds with the yellow-coloured Sentinel Shield.

[ice_cold]

i feel bosses should have stand alone pictures. it makes sense to me. other monsters could share pictures, but why would a boss look like everything else, unless ofcourse it wants to fit in? but time knoght, i feel it should definately have a better stand along picture.

Hope i dont offend or anything, but i made a quick fix.



60x60



While i'm at it, i might aswell do one on the list.

Three-eyed Jack



60x60


I hope it matches the description :)

Can i just pm this to JLH or how does this work again?

[Crane]

I like the work you've done on the Stone Sentinel; very good job... although the boss on the base of his left shoulder plates is now missing, and it looks more metallic than stone now, but it could find a use somewhere, I'm sure. What did you do to modify the picture like that? I feel totally outclassed!

Three-eyed Jack is a thundercloud spirit and not really an entity with three eyes, I don't think. I 'borrowed' Three-eyed Jack from a fable that a teacher read to me once, although I never saw a picture of the thundercloud entity; I suppose it leaves it open to interpretation.

[Cule]

Photoshop and a tablet.


The sentinel was too dark, i could only see the eyes and the moon so i wanted to try to make a quick fix.

Anyway, seems like i screwed up :)

Heres hopefully a better version of Jack. Did a little dot there on the forehead, to give some connection to the name.

Edited by Cule, 09 May 2009 - 01:05 PM.

[Crane]

You have my support for your Three-eyed Jack and the modified Stone Sentinel; send them to JLH via e-mail, I recommend. I look forward to seeing them in-game.

ADDENDUM: You might want to replace the hemispherical boss (like a large rivet) on the sentinel's left shoulder plates (right from our perspective) first - it looks a bit odd and asymmetrical without it.

ADDENDUM DUO: Even if you aren't successful in getting the new Stone Sentinel picture into the game, feel free to use it yourself for something else if you desire; a small mention would be appreciated.

Decided to get to grips with POV-Ray again (a free software raytracer).

Platinum Coin

66x66 (shrunk to 33x33 in-game)



The full size version (512x512)

[Ember]

Very nice Crane i like it.

[Crane]

Depends if staff like it though. I tried my best to match the description in /library, although I don't quite know enough about Japanese architecture to know exactly what kind of structure is being spoken of.

[Crane]

High Priestess Ku'Nal



Indeed, it's a modified player picture, but as she uses elemental spells, I thought it would make a good base.

[Crane]

Dungeon Guard



Another modified player picture, made to look duller and to give his face a more worn colour, hopefully giving the impression that he's somewhat depressed, as implied by his in-game description.



ADDENDUM: Compared alongside the original:

Been quite a few new additions to both servers as of late, namely new monsters and crafting opportunities, but many of these are NO-PIC. If anyone wants a shot at designing icons for these, go for it!

Do not submit copyrighted works or derivatives thereof.

[Killwaii]

HAI! I'm Becca. Nighthawk's girlfriend. He's commissioned me to make an Icon for this new bow that came out today. 

 

 

Made from scratch in PSE 8. If wanted I can change a few things, but the bow and arrow itself are condensed down so I can rotate them and whatnot.

[Stig]

Just to clarify to other forum users - the picture suggestion is for the Apex Bow, and I've downloaded a version with a darker background ready for submission. Thank you Killwaii!

[Killwaii]

>.> He didn't tell me the name of the Item. He was just like "can you make me a bow?"

 

Anywhoodle... Did the Picturesque Fountain Stig told me about in kinda an 8bit style. And the Black feather apparently didn't have an image O_o 

 

   

[Killwaii]

LEVELING BAGS. Kinda strange that these didn't have images, but I'm not gonna question it lol. Gotta split these up cuz it won't let me post that many images at once >.>
