ya I know it's a flammable topic but anyways...
I've gone through about 10-15 different artists who say they can draw but really they send me icons ripped from games!!
I can tell because no one can whip up an icon in a day and have it use over 400 different colors, etc and make it look good!!
unless you're some professional artist but I doubt you'd be working for me for a few dimes if you were!
it just doesn't make sense where some of these kids get their brains now days!!
Do they think i'm stupid and can't tell the difference? Grr :)
Too much drugs and alcohol now days!

Hope your not speaking about me, I made my own program to create my own dmi's so It isnt too hard to use lot of colors.
|
lol no I'm not, you're just really hard to get a hold of on my time :)
you still have to aim me at jonsnow1313!~ | |
No offense jordan, but you use the same pattern for almost all your turfs....
the | | | | | | ------------ | | | | | | ------------ | | | | | | ------------ | | | | | | ------------ | | | | | | Pattern.... Oo | |
Do you want to know how many ripped icons i have in my game? 2, both are char icons because i suck at them, and there not even my main char. All the rest i make myself. Well there are two that i got from some thing on byond that was like a icon demo for everyone to use, but there are only 4 of those, i make all the rest.

It's the disadvantage of relying on 12-15 year old DBZers (generally) to do graphics for you. If you really want something good done, higher a reputable artist. But chances are you won't get much for "a few dimes" you're willing to pay.
Maybe you should resort to ascii art :oP' Or better yet, make a text based game. Nothing says it has to be a MUD. I think some text based strategy games would be pretty interesting. | |
| | | | | |?????????????????????????? You make absolutley no sense. | |
Or better yet, make a text based game. Nothing says it has to be a MUD. I think some text based strategy games would be pretty interesting. Browser-based games are very good examples of text-based strategy games, and they're some of the most popular games online. Most have over 10,000 active users at any given time, with some seasons seeing over 20,000 people with accounts. You can also make low-end strategy games which have very little graphical content. Heck, even if your game has lots of graphics, if it doesn't have a map it'll be referred to as text-based. So, no point in adding more graphics than necessary. ;-) | |
What I would do is just get someone I know and trust to make icons for me... Sadly all people I know make icons wich are about 5 times worse than mine :P
So then instead I use some icons from RPG maker (about 10/150 icons).. And then there are a few from an old demo that I used. then I edited so it has animation (about 20/150 there). All the rest I just trained my self to make, but for about 5/150, AHyperOne made for me. | |
hehe well I will pay someone to do icons and I tell them I'll pay them based on the quality... so if they're just as good as I am, I'll pay them like at the most a buck. Which is kinda sad, but if I wanted someone to just whip up icons really fast for me in a day I'd do it myself... the point was I wanted quality icons that took time, not whipped up ones hehe :)
