Yeah, there really isn't much room for details like that. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon9.gif

How about a warppoint shaped medal for the exploration then, instead of the Eye? Maybe an eye in a warppoint?

SJ, how's this... (I call it the 'Waypoint Star-Cluster') http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

Cheers! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

Edit:..one more (possibly final) batch of medals,.. (including a better 'purple heart', bronze star, something for clolonization, plus...)

So, SJ, think you have enough to play with now?

Cheers!

P.S. That was fun!

..I built myself a simple little medal case to hold all the medals. (and it gives you the chance to see them all without scrolling down the thread!)

That is awesome http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

The hard part will be coming up with names for them that are worthy of the picture!

Re: OT: The House of 1001+ Avatars
 

That looks great. Seriously, really great!

Re: OT: The House of 1001+ Avatars
 

I'd like to place an order for one display case full, for my office wall. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/tongue.gif

Those look really great. I don't know if we'll have enough awards to use them all! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Re: OT: The House of 1001+ Avatars
 

I know, I know, David doesn't hand-draw these medals... but can't avoid to feel myself amazed looking his work. And much more, if remember my own skills using any kind of software to do images...

Re: OT: The House of 1001+ Avatars
 

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">I don't know what you mean by not hand drawn, unlike my avatars which are mostly (but not all) images that I found, reduced, framed and polished, these medals were ALL drawn from scratch. Pixel by pixel one by one, Of course once I had a few bases to work with I did do some cut&paste and recoloring. but all in all, these were not taken from pictures. They all came straight from my head. (There is 2 exceptions, the waypoint medal has an actual waypoint image reduced to fit in the medal and the colonization has a reduced planet which I created long ago in pov-ray!)

Now you have th poop the whole poop and nothing but the poop!

P.S. the proof is in the pudding,.. here is a sample of one of my workscreens (Highly compressed jpeg image not meant for quality, just a visual reference!)..

Well, even more empressive. I guess that's how you got away with no alias lines.

I hope you have a tablet! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">I don't wanted to say that you got it from the web (or something like that!)... just that you used a software tool instead pencil and paper!
Again, want to say that your work is AMAZING! Can't avoid it, when know someone that have the "touch" for the art.

I have a friend that he's GREAT using the CorelDraw (and other software), and using the same software tools... I can't draw ANYTHING!
An example of his work: 1049035676.jpg
(By the way, know you someone that could give him a job????)
