CharlesVercetti Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 (edited) Aim: To remake the weapon icons in this picture in better quality. Progress: All Icons are done. Note: The detail on the weapon icons made is by zooming as hard as I could and stressing my eyes as hard as I could.Each icon takes upto half an hour to draw and retouch.While It won't be useful for everyone,just something I made for my passion .and the request by a member of this forums three years ago.While he is banned from forums now,that doesn't mean I won't make this thing.

Shapaer Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 (edited) Looking good. The only thing i don't like is that the weapon's outline are too thin. Other than that pretty solid work.

CharlesVercetti Posted August 27, 2017 Author Share Posted August 27, 2017 Looking good. The only thing i don't like is that the weapon's outline are too thin. Other than that pretty solid work. Thanks for the feedback.Actually I was very unsure about the thickness,so I decided to draw a 12px thickness line.The icon structure seems slightly off from original SA game though.

CharlesVercetti Posted August 30, 2017 Author Share Posted August 30, 2017 Rockstar too drunk to even make the weapon icons look good That isn't problem of rockstar.The person who created this source(Vadim M) has scanned the Brady games strategy guide.That's why they look sh*tty.

t0grul Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 They look good. That AK47 is almost impossible to remake. I think you cut lower side of the icon of Flamethrower. If you look closely, it's going outside a bit. Here's a quick one i made for example: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
savidge Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 (edited) nice icons! i too had a go at remaking some of the beta weapon icons back in February 2016 and i understand how tricky it can be sometimes to get certain sections as accurate as possible. regarding your MP5 icon, there are a couple of sections where the inside corners of the icon are not transparent. take a look at my (far from perfect) attempt and compare it to the image from BradyGames below it and you will see that it's just due to the quality of the scan that makes it seem as if the corners of the icon are filled in: EDIT: here's a somewhat clearer image of the scrapped mp5lng icon.

First thing is that I was blinded by the weapon counter,and couldn't notice that.I didn't depend on original weapon detail too.So that has caused problems.Update in future? nice icons! i too had a go at remaking some of the beta weapon icons back in February 2016 and i understand how tricky it can be sometimes to get certain sections as accurate as possible. regarding your MP5 icon, there are a couple of sections where the inside corners of the icon are not transparent. take a look at my (far from perfect) attempt and compare it to the image from BradyGames below it and you will see that it's just due to the quality of the scan that makes it seem as if the corners of the icon are filled in: EDIT: here's a somewhat clearer image of the scrapped mp5lng icon. Wel,hmm,It just seems like there is a very fine gap between there.I use GIMP for making icons.It blurs icons when I rescale them for outlining.Perhaps something to do with the software.

Sorry, I abandoned this thread a long time ago, never got time to see the replies. 1. SA icons are supposed to be cartoonish, its not VC to use 3D renders. 2. Accuracy is subjective. If only I had better eyes like you, I would have done a laser accurate representation of a crappy source material. Now don't think of me as a rude person. I always welcome constructive criticism.
