Vector set of icons...a preview a day keeps the "OMG TEH PWNZRZ GIMMEH!" [or "OMG TEH RIPPZORZ BALEET IT" or "OMG TEH UGLIEZZ SHOOO"] away...

OMG TEH UGLIEZZ SHOOO

Not my style... but definitely an interesting, well thought out icon (set). Can't wait to see where this set goes. :D

#272626

Ooh, it's purtty. I like it.

#272627

when i saw it, i thought playstation. then i noticed you used a playstation based font. so, i squinted my eyes in an attempt to blur out the letters, and the icon still has a playstation touch to it, which isn't at all a bad thing. i like the color choice, it glows very nice. but, i'm not quite sure how well that will look against my choice of wallpapers. i'm interested in what preview is coming next.

#272639

The icons are ok, but the name/reason why they are created arnt that great.

#272822

just wondering why the perspective is different on those 2 preview icons? Also some continuity in the colouring would help greatly.

... just adding some constructive critiscm ;)

[edit] After I posted I read your blog...

it will include icons that resemble the typical mtf's **** at photoshop and releasing crap. i will purposely **** up the icon with contradicting styles as well as opposing all rules of drawing. alongside i will release a "fixed" version that will be available for download that will exemplify that which almost none of those at macthemesforums have--talent and skill BOTH.

#272835

lol that was when i was ****ing pissed ;)

btw perspective is the same...

its not - because you can cleary see the top of the finder icon where as on the safari icon you see more of the bottom...

#272841

? there is no top or bottom on the safari icon..it is standing up...

e/g it's not like the elements icon where there is a width @ the top

#272849

Than the shadow on the bottom is too thick, it gives the impression that we are looking upward at this, exposing the bottom portion of the icon.

the lighting is a little off on the safari icon as well, the shadows are not consistent with the highlights

#272945

@ photo: no the lighting is not off, and the shadows ARE consistent.

the inset has a shadow on the top under side and the bottom has a shadow and then a drop shadow... the highlight is on the vial

#272947

Nope, they really arent...look again...the bottom bevel on the inside of the icon is not there...again, giving the appearance of an upward view, or better yet, that the icon is tilted backwards....if that were the case...the shadow on the bottom outside of the icon wouldn't exist because nothing is there to create it.

And also the dial thingy sits directly in the highlight and has not hot spot on it, or is it giving off any shadow itself.

So as stated earlier, that bottom shadow gives the appearance that it is the underside of the icon

Make sense?

#272948

the angle of lights on all my icons are not coming from a 90-0 degree angle, they are coming from 90-30/45 degree angle, thus creating a CURVED shadow, else it would be rectangular b/c the back of the compass and front would align to make a rectangle.

the bottom bevel of the vial cannot be shown b/c it would be a white highlight on a white surface, and i don't want to make the surface grey/silver for disappointing the aesthetics of a vector icon...

same i did not make a small shadow for the compass needle

I AM NOT GOING TO MAKE SOME ****ING ICONS THAT ARE IN BETWEEN REALISTIC AND VECTOR AND TURN OUT SOME UGLY CRAP RESIZED DOWN. OK?

funny we don't see you criticize any other icons that have more serious unintentional flaws?

#272952

bahhh...you take things too personally. Im just trying to help you....

do me a favor, take that safari icon and turn to look at its profile and envison how it looks in your head.

You will see what I mean.

And I don't think the lighting can be 90 30 45, with the shadows the way they are

#272960

1.) no you are not trying to help me. do not suck up to the mods and admins in public and then pm me talking ****

2.) yes i did turn it on a profile in my head, and according to every single drawing, architecture, sketch, painting, perspective et al textbook, my icon is correct

3.) the lighting is not 90 30 45, it is between 90 30 and 90 45

#272967

k, i can see if you can;t take criticism...and yes I will talk **** to you in PM's, because I can

I suck up to nobody

#272975

stop crapping on my thread if all you are gonna do is talk **** and then say you didn't talk **** and start ****ing about how you're not et al

#272983

Hey pwnzrzpat, really i don't understand you, i think Photo678 are trying to help you and

what he (and Tricky) said is right, look at this image:

Untitled-1.jpg

the points of view are more different (inclination and distance) so the prospective is different!

These icon are cool but totally different! ;)

P.S. Belive me i'm an architect!
