Vectors of The Old Republic | 09.17.2009 , 08:58 PM

My take on some SWTOR class action bar/skill tree icons. I wanted to develop some standalone, clean, vector illustration work (refer to image links for the detailed, larger Flash versions with added sfx) that could be scaled up or down and utilised for whatever I decided upon. In the end I formatted them to fit as square UI-like icons. Images are posted in the order of their completion.

NB for the Jedi & Sith Force users I decided to set a certain colour coded system:


JEDI KNIGHT:

BLUE icon background – Lightsaber strikes & abilities
GREEN icon background – Force powers
YELLOW icon background – Buffs & misc abilities

SITH WARRIOR:

PURPLE icon background – Lightsaber strikes & abilities
RED icon background – Force powers
ORANGE icon background – Buffs & misc abilities



SABER DEFLECTION: Focus your defences and greatly increase the chances to block, parry and deflect back enemy blaster fire for X number of seconds

Oh, I’m also happy to make any of the above images into standard or widescreen wallpapers (remove icon border, reposition/extend illustration etc) but, as I’m incredibly busy with work atm, I’ll only do this if there is enough interest in a particular design. Post away if you are keen though, I’d be more than flattered to try and accommodate

Thanks very much for positive replies – always good to get feedback posts so please keep 'em coming. The big vector images with the sound effects are what I’m really happy with so I hope people are checking out the links.

Here’s the rough biro sketch of what I was planning to do for the next illustration; the Smuggler (what I nicknamed before we were told “Dirty Kick”) “Knackers Kick” However, I think I’m more likely to draw up a couple of lightsaber hilt designs or a blaster pistol first now because of my tight schedule. I also see there is a large thread by DeaconX of “Post Your SWTOR Character!” which would be cool to do something for.

Have a good weekend all /wave

>>> Download swtor_favicons.zip <<<


Here are some Web favicons I’ve made, utilising and ‘pixel tidying’ the lovely SWTOR avatar and character imagery (yeah, so not ‘Vectors’ but “Pixels of The Old Republic” for this update - just figured I’d put all my stuff in this thread from now on). For those not familiar with favicon.ico files, they’re the pretty icon images displayed in your Web browser Address line and in the Favorites menu.

I’ve zipped up the nine current icons and linked underneath the display image. You just need to download, unzipped the file and rename any of the 16 by 16 icons you wish to use to favicon.ico from, for example, bounty_hunter.ico (then ofc dump into your main Web directory folder so it shows up on your pages). They all have nice transparent backgrounds. Yay.

I’ll do the other character classes as they’re released including a ‘Jedi’ with and without a lightsaber as I’ve done for the Sith Warrior bvvzzzzzz (that was me making a lightsaber noise as it turns on). I’ve also put up a tiling background gif I made of a star field below that may be handy for a background site image and can be seen in use at:

Enjoy
