Hey that's the spirit! Let us know!

Anybody else willing or able?

Someone mentioned using / converting the furniture from the Core Rules program.
Anybody remember what quality this stuff is? Would it make good sprites?

I know a certain drow who is adept at ripping screen caps of stuff from various games
and scanning stuff...of course she is usually a pretty busy elf.

Hmmm... if Hans got "froggy" I suppose he could make
up a set of oriental "furniture" (jade statues, gongs, foo creatures, that
funky oriental pillar / archway you always see, ming vases, dragon statuettes,
katana on a stand, whoops sorry getting carried away there...)
Of course *I'm* not personally inclined towards oriental furniture (but he does
such gosh-darn good work...if only we could brain-wash him.......)

Thanks for those kind words Master--*I mean*, Thrull. "Hep me,
hep me, Ah been hypmotized!"

I'm afraid I'm gonna be sticking to icons for the foreseeable future.
(If I was sticking to walls, I'd be Spider-man!) I just finished my
ninja set, and I'm already working on my next project --for once it
won't be something oriental %' (

I'm thinking about playing a number of mods, but they all use the
default Cbody --and I'm sick of that thing! (Those big-headed, pink
gnomes give me the creeps!) So, I'm slapping together my own
Fogotten Realms-esque Cbody to use. I heard someplace that
Autery was working on a revamped version of the default set, but
mine won't be in competition to that. I'm picking images from out
of all the old boxes and converting some of my asians, too. Even
though I'm trying to get it done quick (I wanna play those mods!),
it means 49 different icons to do, so don't look for it until, maybe,
two or three months down the road --and that's barring personal
calamities that life may try to distract me with...

~What I really need is a time machine~

Until the future,

hans.

|sf>Well, I'm not uploading any of these yet (I like to have a healthy
collection before I upload pictures), but I've finished sprites of a bed,
a canopy bed (just in case some princess is missing or something. ;) ), and
a nest (since the idea jumped into my mind *shrug*).

I don't have that so I wouldn't know. Sorry.

Regular furnature. Hmmm, interesting idea... Maybe I could somehow
create a sprite of a Japanese paper door opening/closing. I might also be
able to study my RL brother's ornamental swords + stand & see if I can come up
w/ something from that (We lived in Japan for 3 years.).

Well, maybe I could also draw origami creatures such as cranes &
frogs. ;) I can see it now: "The Night the Origami turned Evil!" ;)
