Now if only it was worth looting em lol.
why has doc not been hired by FC yet? hire him means, hire him!
I was pointed to this thread by my fellow professionals, and I have to say I'm really, really impressed. A few days and you've singlehandedly re-icon'd the first of many different items in AO.
I hope to see this in game soon, honestly.
these are all bloody fantastic. hire, hire now!
would be cool to see the icon in inv (obv) but then maybe on shift+t window it has the large render version in the info window, so as the details arnt lost and every1 can enjoy
Feedback is always a good thing. The last 2 columns are my first attempt to make rough cut pearls and perfectly cut. The whole idea of having to 'cut' pearls seems strange to me. The idea I came up with is some sort of crusty looking substance the pearl is in and then the 'cleaned' pearl.
FYI: the gems in the last 2 columns are a black opal, fire opal, pearl and a cold stone.
Cheers!
So funcom, Have you given this guy a Job yet?
if this is all it takes to get hired by FC, get everyone all jazzed up and excited and thinking its the next best thing since sliced bread....im not impressed. it makes me feel FC is extraordinarily lazy or untalented, dont get me wrong, its good work, its just not mindblowing. i could do this in Gimp, it wouldnt be too hard. that being said, if FC is really thinking about using this type of art-work, i would gladly contribute my time and donate art like this. i just presumed FC wouldnt be open to the idea because no one had mentioned it. i could do 3d art and texturing as well. i have several years experience doing it.
i really appreciate the starter of this thread going through the effort and showing FC what the community has to offer. FC can hire me anytime ;)
How's this for a 'Snake Ring'?

Cheers!
There are some damn nice ideas for rings. The first panel
http://i48.photobucket.com/albums/f2...wAO_Rings1.jpg
has some nice AO-feeling but fresh and more detailed than the original icons.
That snake ring a few posts above fits Age of Conan better than Anarchy Online imo.
The OT rings with the engraved OT logo even the clan-logo ring I like. Maybe make that clan logo shorter if people think its too long.
I'd love to see the Arul Saba Gems redone. If possible make each type of gem have a recurring characteristic, both as a Arbiter, Monarch, Emperor, ect. and with the Types Jagged Landscape, and so on, so you can tell visually which gems go together. Something similar to the way these gems, http://i48.photobucket.com/albums/f2...OPicWork01.png look and evolve would be perfect in my opinion.
Here is a Notum Ring of the Three..

P.S. Whealer, that was exactly my intention regarding those gems.. I have a few ideas regarding the progression of the different types of gems arbiter, monarch etc. I'll post those when I pin down the final progression.
That snake ring looks like it should have another gem just poking above the edge for the second eye. I understand the model might actually have it and by the exact angle you just can't see it, but as always go with what looks right, not what's geometrically accurate. ;)
All the hiring talk is kind of silly, Doc is prolly not interested in quitting his current job and moving to Norway to work on icons :p freelancing is what would make sense here. Or a free lifetime account :p
Can't wait to see your icons ingame - impressive. :)
and yes - give him a lifetime free account - may be a minor problem with same icons, but can be very annoing trying to find your stuff - great work indeed !!
Here is a Reanimator ring, or one from totw, spooky!
