Well, since I'm the guy doing the graphics, put all suggestions for emoticons here. All is not as easy as it sounds, though. To avoid confusion, I have a couple of guidlines that I ask you to follow.
1. Be specific. Please don't just say "
Beethro killing enemies"
as that could be interpreted as 1000s of things. Instead, say "
Beethro moving West while killing roaches and evil eyes"
. That isn't frame by frame specific, but it's enough to give me something to go on.
2. I'm setting the size limit at 3x3 tiles square or 4x2 in a rectangle going either direction. That may change, depending on what sizes Schik or Erik want, but for now, don't go any bigger than that, and the smaller the better.
3. All the basics are covered, meaning all enemies will be, for sure, at least doing a 360 and blinking, such as the roach posted later in this thread. If you have another idea different then that, post it here.
4. Please, please, please don't start trashing other peoples ideas no matter how bad they are.
I will try as many ideas work and make them actual graphic as I possibly can, but time will be my biggest enemy. If I find the idea doesn't work, I will talk to that person and either tell him/her that OR try to find ways to make it better. Everyone deserves a fair chance.
5. All icons will be in traditional DROD view, but, if you ask, I may be able to make side views/alternate views. If you do not specify, I will assume traditional overhead.
6. As I finish them, I will be posting them one this board unless the moderators want to preview them first. If you have any comments on them, you can PM me, email me(gamer_extreme_101(A)hotmail.com), or post them on the board.
#1 - :roach [14x14 pixels]
-Download
Overhead roach turns 360o, then blinks. Just a quick show of what you can do with the GeneralBitmaps.bmp file and a bit of creativity! It's compiled of 10 jpgs and is set to a speed of 10 ms(miliseconds).
#2 - :slashfest [42x42 pixels]
-Download
Beethro turns 360 degrees while killing 8 monsters. A bloodtrail is left behind him as he turns. Good for the architecture forum when you need a clever way to tell someone that a room is a slashfest, or to describe what a hectic day you've had! Compiled with 8 jpgs and set to a speed of 16 ms.
Be creative! Get all those creative juices flowing out of you! Remember, there is no limit to ideas except your imagination!
