Maybe new Acorn
I accidently made this acorn when making another item.
Do you prefer it to the existing one ?

Re: Maybe new Acorn
Yours is definitely better, but it turned out very dark. I would have used brighter colors for the fruit part.

Re: Maybe new Acorn
The actual one has a more realistic color but looks abit too much to a hazelnut , your's a better shape. I'am a bit undecided.
This is the idea I have of it.

There are many different ones though:

Re: Maybe new Acorn
Good job, however:
use no more than 6 colors,
work on the colors,
use less saturated colors,
center your icon correctly,
remove dirty pixels.

This could use a clarification (I don't understand what exactly you mean with that either).Ali-G wrote:work on the colors,

Re: Maybe new Acorn
Well simply reduce the number of colors at first. Then establish a pallet that fits correctly the item, here an acorn. Finally, work on the overall shading and outline.Crush wrote:This could use a clarification (I don't understand what exactly you mean with that either).Ali-G wrote:work on the colors,

Re: Maybe new Acorn
i love the acorn void, but i prefer the old one. With your acorn the hat is to wide and sticks out further than it does on a usual acorn. The old one has a better shape around the acorn.

The answer might have been obvious to you, but it wasn't obvious to me and very likely not for v0id either.Ali-G wrote:Please don't make me answer useless posts like that, with obvious answers. Thanks.
Unless you want to do all graphic artwork for TMW yourself in the future, we should have some patience with newcomer artists. Just like we had a lot of patience with you when you were new.

Re: Maybe new Acorn
If anything my acorn just needs a darker outline or more obvious outline. Here is an update for you.

Took me no more than 300 seconds. It is bad but anything is better than the actual TMW acorn item icon.

Re: Maybe new Acorn
I disagree with you there, Chicka; acorns often have large fat hats that make them stick out further than normalChicka-Maria wrote:This does not fix the size of the hat problem...Ali-G wrote:Took me no more than 300 seconds. It is bad but anything is better than the actual TMW acorn item icon.

Re: Maybe new Acorn
Did you ever see a perfect fruit on earth? As human we don't have an unique shape and size
I like this size of the acorn's hat, maybe a little bright to get a better look!
