More item Images...

Done by Josepth Hewitt (just butchered and coloured by me)
JH try to get better... before I end of items to create portraits ;-)



I already posted 3 new of them at the old topic URL

Katana


This is a standard occidental sickle... I was unsure of drawing one of this or a more oriental kama-like one...


Cricket bat... nice HGttG touch


Battle Axe

[Anticheese]

Excellent item images! Just remember to use the edit button next time

I like the axe..

Question for JH: Will it be possible to add different item pictures to be displayed at certain DP levels? That Axe will not be so shiny when it's 10DP away from the scrap pile..

Mace


Whip

Anticheese: Could be a pallate thing; simply reserve a spot on the blade for either sheen or patina. Have it vary between bright white and, er, black or something.

Indiana Jones would be proud.

I don't think that would produce good results on most items..Having items darken as they wear would just look rather cheap..Having the item appear to actually be munted however would look really good.

A crack on the battle axe widening until the blade is severed from the handle..

A laser pistol with dents and a progressively duller beam..

[macksting]

I don't think laser pistols become less useful as they take damage, up until the point they suddenly become quite useless.
I'll also not be the one to say this can't be implimented. I'm not a programmer.

[Anticheese]

Well..I am fairly sure that weapons do tend to get slightly worse for wear..but the main reason why I suggested it is so that SDL players have a clear easily definable way of seeing how their laser pistol is doing. It's more intuitive than counting the dents.

Nor am I, but I have a feeling that this would be an achievable goal.

Perhaps the main obstacle that will need to be overcome is a demand for multiple pieces of artwork.

[macksting]

And specific references on each weapon's stats for the multiple pieces of artwork.

[Francisco Munoz]

A good way will be create a new image name "item_battleaxe_damaged.png" and maybe another one "item_battleaxe_destroyed.png" so the game "automagically" swaps them when needed if it found them...

Standard pump Shotgun .. based partially in the one shown in Ataraxia.

Noodle cup! (Chicken or beef)

Edit:
Rapier


EDIT: Some of my images need a bit of clean.. the blue background and the black outline mix.. I'll fix them tomorrow ..maybe

[Onisuzume]

The blade of the rapier looks a bit on the thick side imo.

And I can't wait till you finish drawing the deluxe rations. :p

[macksting]

Maybe more short than thin. Doesn't look much thicker compared to its hilt than many swords in Utena. To me, anyway.

It's about as thick as the barrel of the shotgun. >_>
What is the idea of that rapier anyways? Clubber someone to death?

This looks a lot more slender then the image above.

And yes, I'm an arse when it comes to swords. :p
(P.S. Don't get me started on the katana)

A new batch...
Longsword.

War Hammer

Spear

Javelin

Boomerang

After checking all the items avalible in the game I think I can draw (* already done) the following list of item with no much input from JH, for others a sketch will be really helpfull to create something that dont clash with the intended visuals.

Yeah, take a look at the artists impression in this article.

-Beam knife

I always imagined it to look like an enlarged pocket knife with a semi-short orange plasma blade..Kind of looking like the gladiator shields from Quake IV.

I *might* be able to make something..no guarantees.
