Creating New Icons

[Dazz]

Hey guys!

So after our recent discussions about new icons for the site, we're going to start going ahead with our plan. We've not even started properly yet, but already me and RTB have racked up about 600 icons! (That's about 1/93 of tSR done!)



If you want to read more about the icons, check out here:

We're looking for people to sign up to help out with these new icons. We're creating a Google Drive folder to store them, and organise them.
Google Drive is a simple system, similar to Dropbox, but with additional storage space, and an easier to use system for document files.
You can see our progress here:

If you're seriously interested in helping out, send me a PM with your Google account email address. Once we're ready to go, I'll invite you as a collaborator so that you can add content. There are instructions within the folder for you.

If you only want to help out a little bit but not on a regular basis, you can still do by sending me a zip of icons you've made. If you're planning to do this 4/5 times, I suggest you get involved in the Drive, that way it's less work on both our parts.

Let's do this!

Awesome, I'll be sending you a PM after class tomorrow.

One thing that I do suggest is that people sign up for whole games, just for the sake of consistency so that there aren't multiple styles of icons per game (see: http://www.spriters-resource.com/ds/kiminoyuusha/)

I've already put my claims on anything Mega Man, Kirby, Nippon Ichi or Jazz Jackrabbit, I'll have all of those done within a week.

Just remember, if you do want to do a whole game as RBY has said; remember to do double check and make sure you have done everything. Not all of a game's sprites will be consecutive ID numbers.

edit: I've rearranged the spreadsheet to now be in alphabetical order by game. This makes more sense.

What program are you guys using to make these?

[Dazz]

I'm using Photoshop, but you can use anything that supports transparency; Paintshop Pro, Paint.net, GIMP...

You can see a demo page of icons here.

I'm claiming everything Bomberman, to start.

Well I missed my chance to call dibs on the Kirby games ... so I guess I'll call dibs on some of the other games I've submitted for. Monster Tale, Ristar, and Kid Dracula for starters.

I might be able to help but I've never really done this kind of thing.

Alright, i'll start doing those for my snes babies, Chrono trigger and FF6.

Remember to check the spreadsheet for whether or not they've already been done!

I know you'll do them right.
I wanted to do these, FF4, Mario RPG, and the Donkey Kong Country games to start, but my crappy computer can't run Photoshop.

I wonder how these icons look like on smartphones with their smaller display (sorry, I only have a classic mobil phone).

Like this, at least on my iPhone.
