WoW Icons

For as popular as WoW and general medieval-theme is, I was shocked how few smilies were available. I don't personally play WoW, but I know tons of people who do. Having been a big Dungeons & Dragon fan in my youth, I love the whole Sword & Sorcery thing. Anyhow, as the saying goes: "when you see a void, fill it." I started to do some smilies on my own. When looking for pictures for inspiration, I came upon an icon set done by Iconshock.com. I was totally inspired by these and wanted to do pixelated versions. Below is a screenshot of the icon-pack ad with my smiley versions next to them.



I was very pleased on how they turned out. It inspired me to create a whole set of WoW characters. My sister, who is an avid WoW player said my renditions were great, so I do feel proud, especially since I don't have intimate knowledge of the characters.

If you are interested in seeing more of my medieval/WoW fonts, leave me a comment and I'll contact you with info.

Quick Note: I have been doing some major posting over the weekend because I've had a bit of free time as I needed to wait for Jim to finish up some programming before I could move on to a couple of other projects which desperately need my attention. I probably won't be posting much here over the next week or two, but don't forget me! I'll still be pixeling and will be back as soon as possible.
