RPG Icons
These are skill icons made to represent abilities players can use in combat. Due to the use case, the icons needed to have recognizable shapes and convey their idea very cleanly. Included in the media files are concepts and process explanations for the icons, as I wanted to make sure the idea of the icon could come across without any external information.
Final Icon for the Flurry action. The monkey is based off a Macaque but with a few liberties taken to give the character more typical monkey-esque characteristics.
The final icon for prayer.
Preliminary silhouette attempts for the icon. This shows the development of the approach taken based on feedback given from friends
Preliminary sketch for the prayer icon. Heavy modifications were made to proportions during the painting phase.
Refined thumbnails. Ultimately went with Prayer and Flurry as I felt those were the simplest ideas to convey and understand from a distance while still being interesting.
Example of the quick thumbnails that were made for my icons.
