yeah, the zip in page 1 is updated...
The SMALL FIELD icons are MADE, but chopping and saving individual files is tedious and I have been saving them as I have feeling in my fingers.
So when done, this will cover normal and small field sizes. |

I just looked through this topic...
Nick your work is amazing. I don't like the style at all times, but thats jst personal preference. But the quality is amazing!
I just decided to trash the "Large Fields" project...
Lets make this the Java Blood Bowl 2006 Artwork Project;
We so far, we include Portraits, and Icon's for Small (800x600), Medium (1024x768) and Large (1280x1024) fields;
Nick you are of course the Art Director for Small and Medium Fields Icons; Pat has the last word on any Large Fields icons, while Barnlato leads the Design Team when it comes to Star Players for any of the Field Sizes.
If you guys agree, then i try to set up a Website of some kind, that offers a preview for each Icon and Portrait, and Downloadable packs;
Ski, is there a chance in hell i can get you to rework the folder JBB uses to make it a little easier to swap icon files without loosing oversight? |

STYLE changes from old icons. (Changes which may be confusing to those used to them) Please give input if you think I need to change something either back to the old style or do more to add variety. I have been playing games with these icons and once in a while it hits me as 'I can't tell things apart'
HUMANS: Based on 2005 GW figs. Design still in flux due to similarities of players and positions
ORCS: Little to no changes, just added positions
DARK ELVES: Blitzers completely closed facemask
Wood Elves: Catchers "hands up"
Dwarves: Little to no changes
KHMERI: NEW mummies, BLITZERS have horns. THROWER is golden with no helmet. I think Thrower needs something unique about him but HORNS was confusing to me.
GOBLINS: Little to no changes
UNDEAD: Gothic Mummies & Skeletons instead of KHMERI, WIGHTS have skele-faces instead of helmet (too much like chaos warriors IMHO) GHOULS and Zombies are 'embalmbed blue' skin.
NECROMANCER: GHOULS & Zombies are 'Rotting Green' Skin to be different from undead.
AMAZONS: THROWER wears a Lizardhead with plumes now. Catchers have hands up and no helmet (sorry, skull had to go) Linemen smallskull, Blitzers Big Skull. Let me know if we need more to distinguish.
CHAOS DWARF: Little to no changes, More icons, new Centaur
CHAOS: UPDATE to new chaos warrior armor... Not old 4th edition armor. Beasts the same
ROTTERS: All New rotters... Undecided about rotting beastmen (they didn't look green)
NORSE: Little to no changes, Paw up for catcher. Bltizer still uni-horn
Lizardmen: Little to no changes, Just more variety
OGRES: Ogres looking like they wandered off the battlefield gone... new icons based on Football playing GW ogres.
BIG GUYS: River troll added, Nekkid Kroxigore, New Minotaur |

Hehe nice pics.
However they are, uhm, cuddly???
Now where did that come from Bloodbowl played by sweet looking teddys, cuddling each other for the advantage in numbers.
In particular the Woodies and Chaos look so innocent 
No they are well done, but too sweet for me. |

Just change the Khemri models for throwers and skeletons, so that the throwers have helmets and normal skelletons don't. That way special skeletons have helmets and fodder doesn't, making it pretty easy to distinguise between them.
by the way; nice work. The new icons have a more "united" feel to them, making the overall feel of the game better. |

Ok, let me look into thrower helmet and skull-heads for Khemri...
And when it comes to 'SD', CHIBI, 'CUDDLE' and so on... you either love it or you hate it.
I cannot name a graphics contract I have done in the past 4 years that has wanted anything besides japanese-influenced graphics, mostly SD for the small stuff. At this scale, you are stuck making 'super deformed' which by the nature is cute-looking.
Maybe Skijunkie could replace 'block' with 'hug' when using the chibi-icons. |

Heheh I like the new wolf, drop'd in place already.
Those chaos dwarf bulls rock. Awesome.
In fact, all the big guys you've done are somethin' else.
Excellent.
(except you got me actively seeking ogre opposition now).
I like the change to the zon catchers, but I think maybe the linos still look a bit much like the blitzers ? Well I spose they all end up wimpy blodgers anyways...

All I can think of is to make 'linemen' have human skulls and blitzers keep the animal skulls. Maybe I will try something for the blitzers...
ALso:
Vamps are done and haflings... just need thralls, High elfs and regular elfs and the set is complete. |

Maybe give those zon linos something in the leathery skullcap range ?
Still a little gurly headgear for them but a different colour to them blitzers..the bone looks good on them (looks like they skinned a saurus for their hat, which is neat). |
