Icon Thread--Version 8: The icons are fine, we're all fine here now, thank you. How are you?

Thanks Theron! I'll mess around with the borders until I get something I like.

I'm think this has potential to be an awesome icon.

 

I'm not familiar with that gentleman - who is it and what comic is he from?

 

It's Darth Wyyrlok III from Legacy comics. The photo is actually the cover for Legacy #27.

 

Thanks - I haven't really gotten into Legacy (or KOTOR, for that matter).

 

Not to sound like a broken record, but can we have some Canderous Ordo and Ghent Zakarisz (not together. ) icons?

I want to think they just got lost in the shuffle, but you can just tell me to shut up and I'll drop it.

 

Wyyrlock has been attempted by ThrawnRocks and myself they are both uploaded here http://fan-files.com/jc/index.php

I may try another version of him but capturing him full body doesn't look good 50x50 or even 30x90.

 

I would greatly appreciate an icon made from this, which comes from In the Beginning in Tales 11, for those of you wondering -- you could probably make the the whole thing into a 30x90, and one of just Han's face would be awesome too. I put my modly weight behind such a suggestion.

Nice.

 

I did a quick try on it. Perhaps one of the more experienced iconers can give it a shot.

Sharks, Canadians, and Avalanche should be gone by now. Only four teams- Red Wings, Stars, Flyers, and Penguins- are left.

 

Why haven't we any Ackmena icons?

The LEGO Indiana Jones Videogame demo came out yesterday.

I have extracted all the images from the demo.

All the interesting textures, graphics and icons (plus some concept art and a few other random bits and pieces) are zipped up (7MB) and can be downloaded here for the next week.

Some of you may be able to utilise some of the icons (in particular) to make board icons out of. The raw game icon files are 256px x 256px.

 

New icons

We have two big events approaching that I'd love to upload new icons for:

1 - Indiana Jones 4 is coming up, our gallery is kinda lacking with Indy images so these will be uploaded for keeps as of right now.
2 - May 25th is 11 days out, the official day for all things Star Wars! I hope to use several images on the site from previous years, but a few more would be awesome.

Anyone willing to make anything for these would be great, I might chip in as well to make sure we have coverage. No need to upload them to the voting site, I'll be uploading several right away. Thanks in advance!


Icon site - image problems

Took a look at the settings and can't figure out why the heck the software is screwing up your images. Regardless of the reason it's unacceptable and I have a help request posted with the company that made the gallery software. As soon as I know I'll post here, we'll get to the bottom of this soon.

Not lost, just buried. I've got some uploading to do pretty soon so I'll dig them out.

No that one is from the old method of voting, which will all have to be changed once we get this new system working. Right now we're trying to sort out a few issues but once it works I'll make a new version of the thread with accurate links.

Absolutely, and we'll work to get that fixed. I just wanted to make sure I was understanding it completely.

Every icon should have radio buttons below them on the front page, unless you already voted in which case you will see a grayed-out one that says "Voted" on it.

Nope, I'm looking into that as well. Really those numbers don't mean a lot because the important thing is whether each of you have voted or not. I'm still researching it though.

 

More icons!

I need caption ideas for this one:

Any suggestions?

 

Hmmm, I don't know about captions (I'm really awful at that sort of thing - I suppose you could put "Oldbie" there) but I think it would look snazzy with a border.

 

The problem with a border on this one is that even a 1 pixel border is too thick.

 

Yay! Thank you!

 

DV: Thanks for the update. Keep up the good work


Re: voting on the front page, here is all that I'm seeing:

[image=http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v295/ThrawnRocks/Picture1.png]


When I highlight and drag under the icons I do see a previously invisible disclaimer (which I appreciate very much BTW), and a few white blocks where I assume these buttons are supposed to be. I'll try going to the website in Firefox or some other browser. Maybe the buttons will show up there.

 

How will I know if the icons I submitted were approved?

 

Can anyone tell me who made this icon I'm wearing now?

<-- (Anakin and Obi-Wan ROTS duel orange vector)

 

For the sake of the JC username known as darth amedda, someone must make this icon. He/she I'm sure would appreciate it.




P.S. Someone please make some Ackmena icons!

 

How about icons for the UEFA Champions League Final? Man U and Chelsea
