Just an idea I thought of.

Sometimes when you look at threads in Modern Art, it's not obvious from looking at thread titles what kind of art might be contained within? Is it a drawing? pixel art? A short story, or a song?

Sometimes you can guess from the person who has posted it what it might be, but a lot of the time you can't.

So I thought what might be a cute and fun idea would be to have little thread icons that give a clue as to what kind of art it is

The current thread icons are all 15x15, but I think we can stand to have it 1 pixel each way bigger, making it 16x16. There are no limits with the amount of colours used but all entries MUST be no larger than 16x16!

The more common types of art we have here (and the ones I'd like to see icons for) are:
  • Paintings and Drawings
  • Pixel Art
  • Creative Writing
  • Sprite Comics
  • Music
  • 3D Art
  • Photoshop Work

Any other suggestions are fine as well, cause I've doubtless missed something... And given the flexible rules on Post Layouts (majority in the sticky; unless you've done something unique and special) perhaps a Post Layout icon too (which will of course be applied to the sticky)

How you choose to represent these is up to you; but it must give a basic idea of what it is -- ie, a pencil or paintbrush might depict "paintings" or "drawings".

I'm not sure what fabulous prizes there will be (if any... you could just be doing it for the GLORY of having your pixel icons used by millions!*) but I'll have a think about it.

Ladies and Gentlemen, start your pixel art tools!

* "millions" may in fact really be less than 1,000,000 people. Or even less than 10.

Here's what I was working on, for about 3 minutes after reading this thread:



EDIT: Layout removed.

EDIT2: If one cannot tell, it's for sprite comics.

For drawings


Music

The pencil should of course have the white part transparent, but Paint won't let me do that and I'm not about to donwload something else for this (especially since I pretty much never do this sort of thing anymore...)

Now, I'll be the first to admit that they aren't the greatest, but they're simple and it's clear what they're supposed to be, so I'm satisfied. Although the pencil's bothering me... is the eraser too small? Wrong color maybe?

Maybe lighten the pencil slightly, and add the little silver band below the eraser.

I'm finding it hard to come up with ideas for how to do Pixel Art; Sprite Comics and Photoshop Without stealing Adobe Photoshop's icon

Took me a while to come up with one for Post Layout too...

Revised pencil. I think it's a bit better.

Edit: Removing layout, fixing tag.

Also, I take it each icon will be selected individually?

Deadline is uh... when the thread dies. I haven't come up with one yet.

But yeah, each icon individually... although that will be messy for a while... vote system to win...

I still can't think of anything for a Photoshop icon, and I don't think I can make a "photochop" of somebody's head on something else's body in 16x16

...meh.

I decided to try Photoshop at least. I use it everyday, so... I tried to figure out something for it. I decided just to do some text effect and some random background...

May try others later...
