Rare icon request
Wednesday, December 28, 2005 by Phoenixheart | Discussion: Community
Though I've just submited a few icons to the ObjectDock skin area, I've been a visiter and registered user of WC for a long time. One thing easy to see is, there are too many icons for the "famous" programs, like Photoshop, Winamp, WMP... As I know, a lot of people use many other programs on their PC, and they can't find their OD icons anywhere, as well as they do not know how to create one themselves (as in my case before).
So, why don't we have an "open area" for those OD users to request for their favorite programs' icons? And those who can use graphical apps can create them. It's also a chance to improve your skills isn't it
?
I'll be the first... Any one need an icon? You can send me a screenshot of the origin icon, and I'll try to make it an OD one (128, 256, in PNG or ICO...).
Not so good in graphik, so I need the help from the pro gd!

Koasati, I really like your icons. Simple, yet very good-looking and impressive

Thanks again in advance, Po' and PhoenixHeart. 256 x 256 is great. I can always resize smaller if needed.

This was my draft. (I never did anything like this before 
)
And...this is what I ended up with. I don't know if it's what you want or how good it is. Like I said, I never did anything like this before. I saved the psd's and png's, so I can change it or play with it if you want something different. Let me know. Phoenixheart will probably do better with something like this.

Looks cool, Po'. The draft looks more "dragonish". In fact, the draft looks perfect. But I like the finished one too!! Thank you!!!

I don't know how I went from A to B. I think it was the nose that threw it all off. Let me mess with it some more. I thought the draft was more 'dragon-like', but I thought the finished one was cool...kinda 'Dragon Rider's Of Pern". I never did anything this complex before. I had the draft sitting on my desk. I should have scanned it in FIRST and worked directly off of it. This was fun, though. I'll work on it.

Yeah, Dragons are not easy. Like me, Ann Mcaffrey couldn't draw them either.

you can use Pngs in Object Dock found here https://www.stardock.com/products/objectdock/
Or you can create an icon (.ico) from the png image (or any image) with icon developer which can be found here. Then just right click on the icon you want to change and browse to find your new one.

Po, I feel ashamed for my "dragon" after seeing yours 
Mine is not in 3D at all, and the color painting is like child-made (though I intended to do so).
I have no scanner or drawing table... So I took the dragon from Wikipedia and "trace" it. Here is the preview:
I have zipped a 128, a 256 and the PSD file. Please let me know if I should submit it to stand beside Po's dragon
To SD: I forgot to said this. A Chinese dragon has no wing, but it can fly, and it only flies (No one ever seen a walking Chinese dragon
) In my opinion, it is better than an European one. But it doesn't go that way with the phoenix.

Awesome. I'm undone by the kindness and talent shown by both of you (and Koasati). Thank you both very very much for these.
Yes, please submit, PhoenixHeart.
