Hello I've been working on a database project for a while now, designed to track collection information (inventory) for a TCG called Magic the Gathering. I think this is the right place to ask, but I'm in need of some small icons to add the final layer of polish. For details on the project (including some screenshots), please visit http://cardtracker.blogspot.com/ The icons I need will be displayed on the tabs during various searches. The few icons I have now are quite effective, and I hope some pixel gurus are willing to help me out a bit, completing the icon collection. I tried making some myself, and the results were spectacular! (not the good kind  )Here's the icons I have now:       Some background info: Magic uses 5 primary colors for nearly all the cards: White, Blue, Black, Red, and Green (often abbreviated as WUBRG). The icons above each represent one of the 5 colors. The 6th is for colorless cards. What I need are sets of icons for some new style of cards, called Hybrid. These cards are a blend of two or more colors (or a blend of colorless and one color), and have icons like that look like this:  That may seem like a lot, but most of those are repetitive. Each of the first three rows is a half&half symbol. Presumably, these could be separate images spliced together at some stage in the process. I could even splice them together myself if necessary. The last row of symbols are, in order, a generic multicolor (gold) icon similar to the colorless icon previously, a 'blank' gold icon suitable for drawing a number over, and a 'super-hybrid' icon similar to rows 2 and 3, but with 5 'slices'. In any case, the only specifications are thus: > PNG format is preferred > 32x32 size is preferred > The new icons match the older icons in style & appearance I hope that's enough information. If this project strikes anyone as interesting, please reply! I'll make sure to include your name in the "thanks" part, as well as the PixelJoint community. Thanks in advance, DW PS: One last comment: I realize the colorless icon does not match the rest, and if anyone would be willing to tweak that as well, that would be super. Either way, not a big deal, as long as I end up with something to put on the tabs! |

OK, let's try one shameless bump before the Archive Monster comes to eat my soul.

Do you what them to look like the icons you have now or more pixel styled? Becuase those seem to have gradients done on photoshop or similar and that's not pixel art. I also do not have photoshop, but I'd be happy to make a pixel equivalent if that's indeed what you're asking for :) ------------- ~~Uni http://intangibledollz.livejournal.com">
