Started practicing your style for a personnal game project, it’s really fun to do, I understand why you went for this!
Feel free to give feedback on it also :)
Hey plummel,
here are some very basic effects I use on all my assets: Inner glow, outer glow and an overlay layer. On top of that use some black lining to separate different elements of the character.
Hope this helps!

Hey Amoeba,
thanks for the detailed questions. Even though I am tight on time I always enjoy to share some of my experience. First of all, the scythe you attached looks pretty good. Just “clean it up” some more and you are good to go. Try not to have too many sharp little details, keep the surfaces rather smooth.I created a little overview of how I go about creating the different versions of an Icon. The screenshotted photoshop elements are in german, but I am pretty sure you’ll understand what I have been doing.
Cheers!
The second picture shows what happens (to me as well) when adding too much detail and how to deal with that.
Hi Vendelhelm,
to be honest, Ghost Bane is the only weapon I ever painted in that size. I just wanted to try something new and had a bit of spare time on my hands.
The rest of the weapons have been painted in this format:
Painting in this size is -in my oppionion- sufficient for the small final icons in the game. Scaling down large images can even result in a lower overall quality. All the downscaled details can make the final icon “noisy” and hard to read.
Cheers
