Gems and pearls
Gems and pearls
Hi,
while I haven't gotten too far yet, here are some possible treasure items:
Any feedback would be appreciated. (The underlying idea for gems would be that they exist in different sizes and both cut and uncut.)

Hi,
Here is a pearl with slightly revised alphaing in the outline:
And here we have a bigger one:

Re: Gems and pearls
I prefer the larger one.
I don't think we should be limiting ourselves to relative sizes for item icons. You mention having different sized gems, but that doesn't mean the smallest needs to fit in a 6 pixel square so it looks smaller. That doesn't leave much room for detail or differentiation. We can indicate size in other ways.

Re: Gems and pearls
It's way to small, you have a 32x32 space. the size should be at least doubled of the pearl.

Hi,
On a separate note, here is my first attempt at a raw (uncut) emerald:
All images except for the initial small pearl put together:

That sounds excessive. Part of what makes pearls recognisable is that they are small (usually). Here is what it would look like:EJlol wrote:It's way to small, you have a 32x32 space. the size should be at least doubled of the pearl.

Hi,
I shrank and reduced the outline a little to make the pearl look less fuzzy.
Any feedback on the pearl and/or the raw emerald would be greatly appreciated!
I expect that I will have to re-do the cut emerald from scratch, though, it doesn't make me happy.

Re: Gems and pearls
The pearl is looking better. The raw emerald looks like it's being lit from behind.
Re: Gems and pearls
The huge perl is nice.

Re: Gems and pearls
The emerald looks somehow... not right. Although I got no idea what exactly is wrong with it. Pixeling translucent gemstones is something I often tried but I never was really successful at it.

Re: Gems and pearls
The emerald has too big and sharp contrast differences. It shouldn't go so dark.
This message used to be meaningful.
Re: Gems and pearls
This is just a suggestion Fate...
But, could you make diamonds too?

Hi,
updated raw emerald, with demo picture. Less contrast, better transparency (I think). Plus, the edges look a little more sensible now.
Dimond, I would like to draw other gems too-- but I haven't even managed to get one of them right, so this may take a while.

Re: Gems and pearls
I liked the first version more - it was exactly how the emerald is supposed to look.
