Wraith: basically I'd like to have any style at all Smile That is icons that really fit together not a strange mixture of different sources / styles / types.

I think the bribe looks like he is giving the money because we read from left to right. I bet if you just fliiped the image 180 degrees it would look like he was taking it.

Why not just add a hand underneath, change the "giving" hand to remove the stripes on the sleeve, and put stripes on the sleeve of the "taking" hand?

(maybe also make the "giving" hand smaller, and green)

Unfortunately, unless you have a graphic designer make the icons from scratch, it will not completely fit within the same style/theme.

My skill set is not so much drawing, but more taking already existing images and manipulating them to my needs. I mean I could model and texture things with maya and then convert a render to a 30x30 icon, but that would be ludicrous amount of time spent to make a pretty cool icon.

I'll try and keep my submissions as close to the same style/theme as possible. My feelings won't be hurt if they aren't used, I'm just trying to be helpful. For example, I didn't bother with a reroll icon because I like WhatBall's version.

There's not a lot of room to work with. If you make things too small, you lose definition. If it's too busy, it gets cluttered looking. Etc..

I would make the icons more "iconic" (symbolic) rather than adding more detail or being more realistic. WhatBall's ReRoll icon is a good example for that.

Forgot the wizard btw. -> edited in the list above.

Anyway, perhaps it would be better if the icons had a small background, like if u roll a block dice in the client, currently it has a white square as background. I think it makes the gfx soft for the eyes. Just an idea O_o

The apothecary could be a wet sponge. Anybody who has played football knows a wet sponge (and maybe some ice packs) fixes the most serious looking injury.

Bribe: Image

it's 30x30. if you like it I can play with the color of the 'gold' to make it gleam more

could also have a green $ added to mesh with whatball's reroll icon more
