Teeny-weeny colourful icons for SMF?

Hey peoples,

Ever since YaBB SE I've always thought SMF would use its own icon set, instead of basically ripping off other sources (windows folder icon anyone?)... so I am going about doing that myself. I'm not sure that they will be eventually even used by anyone... but at the pace I'm going it is just for fun. I've attached the ones I got done already. The big ass ones wouldn't be used and hence the smaller ones are bordered. The set on the right has a drop-shadow effect added.

If anyone has any suggestions or would like to discuss icons and how bloody hard it is to make them compared to larger images feel free to do so :D.

Oh and they ARE inspired by the style of icons often used today.

(Yeah I should have posted this in the graphics board, but it is as active as the surface of the moon)

Those are really nice!  Will you be doing them in other color scemes?

Wow, I love that check with the glow thing.

those look good.  i'd like to see as many options as possible for buttons.

did you mean teenie weenie?

alienine

Yes, but if and when I get them all done. Right now I can do a simple thing as changing the hue or colorizing them pretty easily... including changing the contrast so that they look more serious, heh.

My previous reply was to nil.

Thanks! I think it makes a nice attractive "register" icon.

yeah! IE is one of the browsers lagging behind when it comes to alpha-transparency. If they implemented it you'd see it used (and abused) much more often...

Oh Unknown if you like the glowy-checky thingy you'll be glad to hear that the new-post icon and other icons will use the glowyness too :D

nil, I can always do something as incredibly as cheap as [attached]. But eventually as I've said I'd like to do it the proper/long way.

Oh and all this positive feedback is encouraging me to make more! Thanks!

Your awsome dude, those are great graphics (love your smilies too, so hurry up and finish the set :P).

* Killer Possum is jealous of alienine's work and wishes he was that good

Grudge

Wow...they are fantastic! I'd love to see them when you have done them all!
I'm only a half geek really...
