Rare icon request

from WinCustomize Forums
Though I've just submited a few icons to the ObjectDock skin area, I've been a visiter and registered user of WC for a long time. One thing easy to see is, there are too many icons for the "famous" programs, like Photoshop, Winamp, WMP... As I know, a lot of people use many other programs on their PC, and they can't find their OD icons anywhere, as well as they do not know how to create one themselves (as in my case before).
So, why don't we have an "open area" for those OD users to request for their favorite programs' icons? And those who can use graphical apps can create them. It's also a chance to improve your skills isn't it ?
I'll be the first... Any one need an icon? You can send me a screenshot of the origin icon, and I'll try to make it an OD one (128, 256, in PNG or ICO...).
Not so good in graphik, so I need the help from the pro gd!

Po, what tool(s) do you use to make the icons? They're very cool, far better than mine I can use Photoshop and Illustrator only

I use Photoshop only and yours are WAY better than mine. I have only been doing this for less than a year and am still learning from people like you.

I know there are at least 2 types of dragon:
- Western (European) Dragon: like a winged dinosaur.
- Eastern (Chinese) Dragon: like a snake
More info: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dragon
Which one do you choose, Sleeping Dragon?

I like the Asian ones, with the exception that they never have wings whereas European ones do. I like wings. Honestly it doesn't matter. I would just like to have something nice that I don't need to Cut from other's wallpapers.

Thanks in advance for any who attempt it.

Nah. I'm not ashamed. Just a regular guy. As long as they don't end up elsewhere on the net.

Sleeping Dragon, I'll try an Asian Dragon head. Is 256x256 OK? But the result will not be guaranteed

Koasati, I really like your icons. Simple, yet very good-looking and impressive

Thanks again in advance, Po' and PhoenixHeart. 256 x 256 is great. I can always resize smaller if needed.

This was my draft. (I never did anything like this before )


And...this is what I ended up with. I don't know if it's what you want or how good it is. Like I said, I never did anything like this before. I saved the psd's and png's, so I can change it or play with it if you want something different. Let me know. Phoenixheart will probably do better with something like this.

Looks cool, Po'. The draft looks more "dragonish". In fact, the draft looks perfect. But I like the finished one too!! Thank you!!!
Reply #149 from WinCustomize Forums Top
I don't know how I went from A to B. I think it was the nose that threw it all off. Let me mess with it some more. I thought the draft was more 'dragon-like', but I thought the finished one was cool...kinda 'Dragon Rider's Of Pern". I never did anything this complex before. I had the draft sitting on my desk. I should have scanned it in FIRST and worked directly off of it. This was fun, though. I'll work on it.

Yeah, Dragons are not easy. Like me, Ann Mcaffrey couldn't draw them either.
