How goes the talks with FC Doc? Are they going to use your art? You have done quite a bit to think they are not. Would just love a status of this as I think it rocks when the players give back. Great Job and AWESOME work.

This actually drops? :o never seen one and boy, I've seen stuff in AO :)
Furthermore, there's other items using gem graphics as well - I dunno if you fancy a challenge after you've done with these, but in case you do, e.g. Kyr'Ozch Data Cores all use the Cold Stone graphic.
I am enjoying your graphics a lot :)
would one of the first 3 items in this old batch fit the data core?

Cheers!
almost 30 "items" use the coldstone icon even :p
Nice new stuff, Doc :)
make more nano icons too ^^
all the nukes a tl7 nt uses have same icons , its anoying
IU/double/tripple/LE AOE /...
I love the look of those three, however, the description for the Kyr'Ozch Data Core says that it is a smooth blue sphere. I think it would be cool if it remained a smooth blue sphere, but took on a more alien appearance rather than just looking like the Cold Stone icon. Perhaps it could be slightly translucent and we could see glowing electronics inside. Or, maybe it could be opaque but have some sort of glow to it.
If you change the icon too much from the description then that means that the Devs have to make an extra step of changing the description to match the appearance of the icon, and I think this should be as simple for the Devs to deal with as possible. The fewer steps they have to take the more likely it is to be modified.
How about this for the Kyr'Ozch Data Core,. it's smooth, it's blue and it resonates data...

it's a transparent blue sphere with second a data sphere inside, so the inner texture is easy to change if variations are needed.
Cheers!
Here is my current work in progress on the full set of filigree rings. These are the Silver filigree versions, the gold and platinum are also rendered, but this will give you a good idea of what direction I'm going with these..

In order left to right, top to bottom, Almandine, Amber, Aquamarine, Balas Ruby, Black Opal, Blue Pearl by Conner, Chrysoberyl, Cold Stone, Coral, Crystal Sphere, Demantoid, Diamond, Ember Sphere, Emerald, Fire Opal, Ruby Pearl and Water Opal.
Cheers!
wow, cannot believe i just found this thread. superb work doc! the thought of your designs not making it ingame gives me fartburn. wait... thats the cayanne pepper at work :)
oh, and bump!
Definately deserves a bump. I really hope FC decides to use this.
Defenetlee. The gemstones need a bit more differentiation on the colors? Seems to me, some blue colored stones look to similar.
Rings look 5 star quality. Dont change them plox :)
First of all: very nice work! (been following this thread a while now, but never posted yet ;).
About the Kyr'Ozch Data Core, it does look like what you could expect from a blue sphere data core. Though maybe it doesn't look to alien, but that's merely due to the description I think: everything alien seems to be green while this is blue :eek:.
While it looks good, it doesn't look perfect yet. It somehow seems to miss a little 3D feeling, especially in the small version. I'm afraid I don't know enough about this stuff to point out the issue exactly. My guess is that it's something with the edges though.
The image reminds me to Basic/Advanced Calculator :P.
Very nice, definitely a step in the direction for AO if these make it in game.
