	Just to be clear, the trophies must be square and exactly 64x64 or can they be various shapes?

	Transparency is not allowed inside the 64x64 squares, so squares are forced but they may be decorated any way you want.

	Legend of Dragoon: Finally decided on a style for these. This one is for getting the Red Eye Dragoon Spirit. EDIT: Update: So I haven't really done anything extra for the pixelling but I think I have my colour pallet for this picked out. Not 100% certain on my purple though, might be a bit too high of a saturation for the style I'm going for maybe. Next to work on all 6 Addition mastering achievements (Damn Shana and her no additions), the all max D Lvl achievement, the End Game Achievement and a few more if I get time.

	Love the boat one. Move the stuff in #3 down a bit, so the club doesn't touch the frame. I'd like to see you darken the darkest (blue) color a bit...its brightness makes everything look pretty washed out right now.

	It is a very awesome game! Hey everyone, which do you think looks better: or I think I prefer the first with the 25% dither cutout of the addition squares- fits the style more in my opinion. Still I'd like to know what you guys think. or I could just ditch the addition thing completely: Edited by ultimaodin - 03 October 2012 at 6:35pm

	Don't ditch it, it's an awesome idea. I think you should add a couple more faded, slimmer boxes to create the effect it's shrinking. http://www.4freeimagehost.com/uploads/ba4c7ff6388c.png It might even help if you add a button in it as well though it might crowd the icon then. All of the WIPs so far are awesome. Good luck everyone, and keep up the great work. Edited by RileyFiery - 03 October 2012 at 9:53pm

	Ultimaodin: I like your border design a lot. I can't decide on that last one though I kind of like the dither cut-out.

	Doing Kongol's Axe at the moment. Honestly I have no clue what to do for Hashel since he uses fighting gloves. I was hoping to keep the vertical weapon approach. Also, I ditched the black fade effect so I could go more the shadow in effect that Riley mentioned. A bit of an artistic liberty to get what I wanted but oh well, works better as is in my own opinion. @\|\|\|\| - The border design is heavily influenced from the LoD menu-screen.

	Yeah, Haschel will be a tough one. You could possibly add his Dragoon gauntlet smashing into the ground instead since it's much bigger than his normal form. By the way, poor ole' Lavitz. I'm loving the icons so far. You did a good job on the boxes.

	Well, I had an idea about entering this challenge a while back. Finally got to it and this is what I got. Any critique on how to make this better would be greatly appreciated. Edit: just read the rules more closely, gonna forfeit, Lol. Edited by El_Tortuga - 06 October 2012 at 8:52pm

	Not happy with Hashel's damn griever but I'm giving up on it because I still have two more to do. Currently doing a green (since the colours feel relatively unused) shield for blocking enemy attacks 300 times and another one for maximum D-lvl for all characters. Last one is for completing the game, with what I consider to be the most important part of the final cut-scenes.
