Faction Icon

Okay people:

Here is the first challenge for the new Hikari faction. I want you to get in touch with your inner artist and design us a faction Icon.

This icon must be 16 x 16 and in BMP format.

You are allowed to make as many different ones as you want.

This is a contest, and as such there will be a reward....The winner will have thier icon submitted for use as our faction icon AND will also be rewarded with 1m of in game coin.

This contest will run from 02 May 2010 until 21 May 2010. Once you have one made please post it here for all to see.

Below are the specifications from PWI

The icon image must be sent in as a BMP format and must be 16*16 pixels with a RGB color mode.
If you would like it as a transparent background please make sure you add an Alpha Channel (Transparency Control Channel).
* add an Alpha-channel to your image (using Layer > Transparency > Add Alpha Channel)
* select the Eraser-tool Eraser Tool and erase what you'd like to get rid of in the mask layer, or use the magic wand.
* save the BMP as 32-bit vs 24-bit to preserve the Alpha Channel in the output file.


Good Luck to ALL!

ohhh you can't see it very well Hmm a colored background might make it stand out more.. oh piddles...

Just cause you can't see it very well.. it is a kitty skull and crossbones

This is what it looks like so you all can see it.. *sigh*

Tried several backgrounds before i posted this one. Best i can think of the borders of the bones need to be bigger.

that is slightly better but you still can't see what it is sadly. That is alright though it was worth a shot

that is a lot better val, I can actually tell it is a cat when i look

Hey guys I'm sorry for being so drastically late with these.

These don't have any real relevance to the faction, but they're just nice to look at (IMO) and are decent conceptually if nothing else.

Personally, I think the second one most closely follows the idea of Hikari... the others are just for fun.

As shown in the pics, there are two versions of each: a solid black background, and a black background with a "buff" colored border. The "buff border" versions have an alpha channel applied to the four corner pixels, but I don't have any idea if I did them right (because they still show up black in most apps I've tested them on).

Should any of mine win, I'll send Val the original 16x16 bitmaps afterward.

a few last minute submissions were recieved of requested and i am slow sorry.

my number 11 -- Large image ==

and 2 from the Mind of our own lovly Feisue

#1 -- Larger image ==

#2 -- Large Image ==

If I had to pick one of mine, I'd pick my second one, "Starlight."

If I had to pick one of someone else's, I'd pick Val's "#11" (the yin-yang), or Mobious's p310.jpg (the black Hikari symbol on white background with border).

Val's ying-yang design is pretty cool as my top vote

My second guess would just be Miug's plain pawprint idea XD

my vote goes to val's number 11 icon (and mine p310.jpg)

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<KEEP VOTING >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Val's yinyang one is nice, but isnt it hard to tell what symbols are in it unless u use a magnifying glass lol. Fei's with the blue Hikari kanji is nice also.

and yes, I still check the forums lol

i vote for the number 11 one with the hikari symble over the paw print!

okay people the results from here and in game pms is:

ValFera (Ying Yang) - IIII

Miugre (Star) - I

Miugre (Paw) - I

Mobieus (p310) - I

Feisue (Paw Outline & Kanji) - IIII

Now I could pick but would like a consensus so there will be a 2 day run off of the top 2 which are:

ValFera (YingYang)

Feisue (Paw Outline & Kanji)

Votes are Due 12 June 2010!!!

i vote for ValFera's YingYang
