Lord of the Locker Room

I'm seeking an individual to produce some weapon icons Starcraft-ready to be added into AO. If I cannot find someone to make these icons I will omit icon conversion in AO (I'm already omitting wireframes)

Even if you can only produce one or two, it would be most appreciated. Custom icons is not something I am good at in the least; it requires image editing expertise, and I am absolutely terrible at graphics, as my previous mods can attest to. While HKS can make generic icons, he can't create what I need for this conversion.

I need the following;

Reaper's Herald - A huge, spikey reaper's scythe.
Blades of Chaos - A very long, boney arm-blade attached to a demonic claw/hand, with two smaller spikes spoking out of its sides.
Plasma Glaive - A searing bladed chakram.
Hellfire Torpedoes - A bladed, fiery projectile. Used for Purgatory torpedoes.
Gatling Gun - A huge vulcan cannon. Used for Purgatory Gatling Gun.
Planetary Bombardment - A huge triple-cannon weapon system. Used for unrevealed unit.
Flame Breath - A stream of fire. Used for Red Drake.
Withering Apocalypse - A jagged rain of icy particles. Used for unrevealed unit.
Impale - A massive, spiky spike jutting out of the ground. Used for Prince of Pain.
Electron Bolt - A bolt of lightning. Used for Thunderer.
Fist of the Heavens - An electrified Cross. Used for Zeus.
Black breath - Electrified fire stream. Used for unrevealed unit.
Impending Doom - A skull encased in fire. Used for unrevealed unit.
Aeon Katars - Something like this. http://www.ljplus.ru/img/1/0/10chiken/katar.jpg , but it's glowy as well. Used by Syrius.
Nano-Fusion Artillery - A large weapon system similar to this. http://davidszondy.com/future/war/railgun03.jpg. Used for XB-42.
Meteor Shower - A shower of small meteorites descending on an angle. Used for Pit Lord.
Comet Storm - Something similar to above but considerably more intense. For Mal`Ash.


That's the basics. If I get enough of a response on these I'll post the rest.

Please provide in sc-ready bmp format with necessary palettes already configured.

Show them your butt, and when you do, slap it so it creates a sound akin to a chorus of screaming spider monkeys flogging a chime with cacti. Only then can you find your destiny at the tip of the shaft.

Still have yet to receive any submissions. Looks like AO won't have any icons.

DarkenedFantasies -- Probably just didn't care. For example, at some point before release, they've updated the graphics of some of the Protoss buildings (Forge, CyberCore, Citadel, Observatory, Arbiter Tribunal), but instead of properly re-rendering them with edited 3D models, they did crappy copy-paste jobs on the rendered graphics.

Ultraviolet -- I suppose we'll likely never know, but my guess would be that they already saw it operating successfully and there was no monetary incentive to finish the original work. And the dev cycle in old school Blizzard was so hectic, it's possible it just got forgotten about after the original game got released. Plus there's an element of existing MPQ files that were packaged with the original discs becoming outdated if they updated it. And it's not like they remade the original MPQs, they just made new ones for BW specifically

Oh_Man -- so that makes me think maybe the theory they are unfinished is not true and its a deliberate design decision, coz why not finish them wen ur making brood war?
[2026-6-21. : 4:25 am]
Oh_Man -- the thing is thos buildings are from classic. that means they went ahead and made brood war without ever finishing the 'unfinished' buildings

Ultraviolet -- Yeah he's talked about a lot of that stuff in his casts before. It seems plausible. Especially knowing how Blizzard of yesteryear operated.

NudeRaider -- to clarify: couldn't recall the behavior for every single Protoss building but I was aware the disparity exists.
[2026-6-20. : 3:43 pm]
NudeRaider -- Contained nothing new for me. Didn't know all building's behavior, but very much all unit's. Also Terran balance whine - also nothing new :lol:

Oh_Man -- makes me wonder if SEN knows anything about the topic
