Game icons
On the month of April 2020 I tackled video game icons, like those used in RPG and MMORPGs to represent spells, weapons or items a player or character might have. I tried different styles while focusing on keeping them legible and understandable at small sizes. Would love to tackle something like this for a game in the future!
A more graphic design approach for this cursed “Hand of Death”, I quite like how it turned out! Would love to see a style like this on a game.
This is one of my favourite weapon icons I’ve made, I really like the runes against the dark metal and the cool steam flowing from the blades representing the ice powers of this axe.
Decided to try a blockier, more cartoony style for this golden bow and arrow.
This green spell was inspired by the “Eldritch Blast” from D&D.
This time I decided to take inspiration from the divine spell “Guiding Bolt”, also from D&D.
Tried to practise magical items with this enchanted cube. I also quite like the colour combination!
Here’s a compilation of ALL the icons I made in April, both finished and unfinished. Posted above it HQ are my 6 favourites.
