Here are some Icons I made for Yoda Power.

First up is an Icon to go along with my Spider units.

Wow I like especially the amphibous Viking Tech

These are really great Kinboat:goodjob:

And that is why I find it very hard to say I can't use the last icon. You see I need the amphibious icon for a nordic tech, and palms just aren't right :blush:

Any chance you could make a second version? Pleeeeaase :mischief:

Even you don't want to, these are still amazing work, thanks!

These are very nice :thumbsup:, and I agree with YP about the palm trees... :undecide:
I'm sure I could remove them with some quick and dirty editing, but changing it from the start seems much better... :)

The Stellar Navigation one is very beautiful. Can I have a big framed version for my wall?

And would you be in the market for requests - or is that over-optimistic? I might be needing a pile of tech icons soon enough that could prove slightly challenging...

Of course you can use that image. The vikings raided those lands in the mediterranean too, you know :) .

I had orignally made the background and wanted to have Greek Soldier's storming the beaches... But I settled on the Vikingy guys you see without bothering to change the trees :D It really shouldn't be too hard at all to change them to something more Nordicy.
It depends on what the request is but I'll consider doing a few... Just don't request 200 at once :D

I'd guess some English rolling green grassy hills should fit most applications. :)

Kinboat
Jan 18, 2005, 10:43 PM
No rolling Green hills but I did replace the coconut trees with maples and added a mountion range in the distance. So instead of a tropical island it's a calm inlet... with the helpless English village just off to the right :D

"Sail straight for the maples, and then right!" ;)

Looking good. :)

Wow thats great Kinboat!

BTW if you're up to it, I have two more requests:

Deforestation(some cut off trees)
Diplomacy("armoured" hand shaking a "fur" hand, if ya know what I mean?)

The new Amphibious Warfare icon looks much nicer than the previous one! :)

I'm working on both of those Yoda Power... I haven't got anything at the moment but just wanted to let you know I'll get to them :D

Yoda Power
Jan 23, 2005, 03:03 PM
Kinboat you just rock:D

I will request one more btw:p

I need some small nordic lookin kinda ship(a bit like the curragh) traveling on the sea. Maybe with a bit of land in the background. Any chance you can make that too?

How's that for Diplomacy Yoda Power? (first post)

What's that? A lizardman shaking hands with a bretonnian knight :p

Good job :thumbsup:
- altough the knight hand looks almost like some sort of sceptre in the hand of the lizard - which was the impression I got on the first glance :D . Maybe if the armored hand would be a bit larger. It also looks like those two hands are from separate pictures (i.e. the glossy armor looks a bit too glossy & bright - the reflection of the lizard hand is barely visible, if not at all...)

Kinboat
Jan 27, 2005, 09:48 AM
I'll increase the size of the hand... I think that might also eliminate some of the 'scepter' feel since less of the arm will be visible (it looks too lang at the moment).

I can also try some things with the reflection map on the armor. I think you're saying the monster hand should be reflected more in the armor and not that the monster hand should be shinier right?

aaglo
Jan 27, 2005, 10:18 AM
Bigger hand = :thumbsup:
... and you know what they say about big hands ... :lol:

Yep,
- the monster hand should be reflected more from the armor, or
- make the armor look less 'polished' (now it looks almost mirror-smooth)

Its very nice, my only problem is that I don't have any lizard type civs in my mod:p.

I just meant a "barbaric" hand or something like that;)

Kinboat
Jan 27, 2005, 08:51 PM
Oops.... I guess I missunderstood the "furry" hand. (it's actually an ogre hand not a lizard by the way :D ). I can easily substitute a normal barbarian hand in there. I've redone this one also. I'll get those fixes up soon.

Yoda Power

Ok, thanks:)

Kinboat

I've posted the two diplomacy fixes in the first post. All three versions are now included in the one zip file. (I'm close to done on that viking longship as well).

Yoda Power

It's great! Thanks a bunch.

Any updates Kinboat?

Kinboat

Haven't worked on it in a few days. The only thing I really have to do is finish the longboat model.

Yoda Power
Feb 09, 2005, 03:25 PM
Ok, just seemed you had forgotten me;):p

Kinboat
Feb 12, 2005, 11:42 PM
I've posted the Norse Sailing... or whatever you're calling it :D Now the Deforestation is the only one left.

Snorken
Feb 13, 2005, 07:51 AM
That Norse Sailing thing looks great Kinboat! :)

Yoda Power
Feb 15, 2005, 09:42 AM
It's great:thumbsup:

I'm gonna use it as Seafaring btw.

If you're up to it, I also need a sort of Pagan Religion icon. Maybe something with a Druid ceremony, or something like that(though no human sacrifice;)).
