Avy's Icon Workshop

Avery · 2013-12-30T07:45:52+0900

-No repost or post of edits without my permission!- I make icons since XP was around, so my icons cover various styles from XP over VX Ace to MV and MZ. Take your time and have a look around, you will very likely find something for your game as well! Be sure to read the rules - and leave a like and feedback of you found anything useful! Spoiler The first thing to mention is that I set great store on how you ask me to help you. I am a human being and not an icon machine. Please read both - dos and don'ts. There are two styles I mainly support: Ace (24*24): Not more than 2 at one time. MV Icons (own style, no RTP!) (32*32) Not more than 2 at one time! MV Icons II (manually(!) upscaled Ace Style) (32*32) 1 from scratch or up to 2 upscales from my 24*24 icons Big Icons (48*48): You can ask for 1 from scratch icon or 2 resizes of existing (in my sheet or the RTP) icons at one time. (If you want another size, ask me) Do: What do you need? - Good description and pictures! If there is no chance to find an image a good description is okay, but a image and just the title isn't! Be patient and friendly and I'll treat you the same way. Give that Avy some feedback after she did your request. Please check the sheet before requesting something. Don'ts: No "grocery lists". Write a proper request text! I won't do recolor requests! If I refuse your request, deal with it and wait more than just a few days before coming back again. If there are already a lot of open requests, wait until they are solved. If you have more general requests, here ist Granny's Icon List. Check it before you request thigs like "more keys" or "an iron sword". There are already enough of those general things. Spoiler Free for commercial & non-commercial use, as long as I get a free copy of the game. You may edit these for your own use, but don't post them anywhere without my permission. Only for use in RPG Maker games, MV/Z II Icons require you to own RMVX Ace. Editing does not include upscaling the Ace icons for the use in MV. You can use them there, but do not resize them with filters or anything like that. No blurry resize at all. Spoiler Spoiler Spoiler Spoiler Those can be placed behind a 24*24 icon to make it fill a 32*32 area. Spoiler They are featured in the Febuary '15 Restaff, where you also can find Big Icons by other artists and a matching VX Ace script by Playm! Spoiler Spoiler Spoiler Charms and Accessoirs: Keys: Swords: Plants Rings Bows Poleweapons:

So does this mean you aren't taking request anymore, or does it mean that you only want to do requests for the new style? If you want this to not be a workshop thread anymore I could move it for you easily enough. You could still take suggestions but no one would be expecting you to take requests.

I will definitly continue the workshop, but now with my pretty "new" retro style only <3

Just remember that I'll have a lot to do with the remake x3

Question by the side, do you do icons in MLP style too?
Know it's a dumb question probably or a question that don't belong here, but I'm still curious. :) (\s/)

Sorry, if I offended anybody. :'( /)

I really don't like the new change: what was great about your stuff was that it was so applicable, it could fit in pretty much anyone's game, provided it was on vx/ace or xp. The new ones aren't bad from an art perspective, but they're a bit too narrow. For a retro game or something on 2003, they're fine, but for the less stylized games, they could really cause an art style clash.

I agree with what Kyuukon said, what was wrong with the latest requests?

What is wrong is some people being reckless.People don't even read carefully what @Avery says.That also applies to the rules of the workshop most of the time. @Avery is a nice and kind person and it is foolish to stop her for doing so. She makes Icons because she likes it.She also respects Commodore 64 something that is awesome in my humble opinion.I can't wait to see everyone's reaction when she will have more to say and show to us.

At one level I'm sad about the change as I am not using retro style graphics so the new ones will not fit my game, and I have benefited so much from what Avery makes.

On the other hand I am very glad that she has a new source of inspiration. No artist should feel obliged to continue working in one style when they want to use another. That stifles creativity. So I've very glad for her that she has a fresh inspiration.

As for what's wrong with the last requests: people ignore the rules, especially the "maximum 3" rule. For example

One rapier plus 3 hilts equals 4

All the signs of the Zodiac equals 12

I didn't want four >_<

I just wanted the three hilts and the blade attached to the hilts to be the blade of the RTP rapier. (albeit slightly thinner) :L

Sorry for any confusion.

Avery, you do what you want to do! The new style's nice (and I can't believe that's only three colours o.o), but like ksjp I'm not making a retro game. (Still, I do believe I see more and more people working on retro games, so I'm sure your new style will come in use soon.)

Honestly, you've helped soo many people with this workshop, but I've seen how frustrating it was when people didn't read or, you know, appreciate all the hard work. To be honest, if it'd be me I would have quit ages ago ^^;

I want to thank you for taking my request and suggestions in the past. Good luck with the new style! It does seem challenging. :D

Great you decided to do so! Maybe we could even 'advertise' our creations together now, ehhhh~ *nudge*nudge*pointing at retro resources*hint*nudge*

They look really nice!

Actually remind me alot of old NES icons, too, Somehow especially Legend of Zelda but still~

Is this an April Fools' joke? :unsure:

This right here is what lead me to believe this.... :guffaw:

Did nobody see/get that? :D

#774 Apr 1, 2015, 10:43 PM Source

I'm all for the new style, maybe its because I just plain like retro style. Good luck with remaking all of those icons.

Also, the crystal and potion icons are my favorite so far (looks great for only three colors)

@Keniisu

Whoa. Wellll, either way, I still support both styles >v>

Hints everywhere, but didn't wanted to spoil the fun.

It's over... I can't take it anymore, I just have to say...

Yes, of course this was my April Fools' Joke!

I am very sorry if anyone felt offended or worried to much, but I'm fine and I did definitly not loose my heart to the commodore 64-style :D

Maybe I should be proud that the quality of those seemed to be so high that it wasn't too obvious?

Serious, those "wrong" requests are really annoying me and I often thought about closing the topic, but there are so many awesome people that don't deserve this "punishment". So I'll just be strict and sometimes angry but in the end there is so much support that it's totally worth it.

Here are all open requests and some bonus equipment as little apology. I added crossbows because there are nearly no crossbow icons. Why did none of you miss crossbows?

Btw to requesting modular icons: it's okay to ask for those and it's okay to ask for a little more than three parts because a part is not really a "full" icon ;3

Well, let's get back to normal, then ;3

Thank you! Thank you so much!

You totally got me with this joke in skype :D Maybe I was too tired already.

Thank you for doing my icon requests - and not in commodore style :D

I think, I will probably recolor the speed icon since I need it to symbolize more like fleeing and gold is way too glorious for that ;) But I love the overall design and really like the rest of the icons, especially the laurel and the pistol.

Will you update your iconsheet someday with the new things?

Haha, I was totally got with it. I am so very glad that you're continuing in your usual style.

Maybe I should be proud that the quality of those seemed to be so high that it wasn't too obvious?
This is what led me so astray. I suppose I couldn't imagine someone doing something of this quality as a joke.

So well done on both the joke and the supporting items.

Yeah, I missed it too, should have been obvious when you said you were going to remake all 1884 icons in that style...

I did like the look of those icons though, but your standard style is better and more useful.
