Q & A

"Will you stop doing icons in the current style after Windows 8 is out?"
No, i won't. Not immediately. W8 is a huge topic for me and i already showed some concepts and ideas i have.
But many people will still use Windows 7 after 8 is launched. Knowing that i will continue doing game-icons as they are at the moment until i have the feeling Windows 8 has enough attention to switch to something new.

"Are you sad when some icons don't have much views/downloads?"
Hell No! :D
If just 1 person has downloaded and uses something i created it's more than i expected.
People telling me they like my icons is just awesome! And thanks for that :)

"Do you plan on stopping doing icons in the future?"
No plans for that!

"Why don't you implement some requests?"
Well... how to answer this...
Depends on various reasons. Some games don't have good media (Wallpapers, Renders, Logos etc.) to work with for example.
It's not like: "I wont do an icon for game "xyz" because i don't like it!" Sometimes it takes a while.
I'm trying to handle as many request as i can :)

"Will you (GameIcons Group) only release on deviantArt"
No. We have some plans for the future. More informations coming soon.............. ;)

"What tools are you using for your icons?"
For creating: Adobe Photoshop CS3 (Not a fan of CS4/CS5)
For converting: Axialis IconWorkshop 6.11

"What do you do beside game icons?"
I also make "anime icons" with a good friend of mine :)
I introduced him to the "creating icons"-world and now we're doing them as team.
So, for all anime-fans: Check out his deviantArt profile for good anime-icons: [link] :icondevill-dante:
He also takes requests :)
Besides icons i do some other stuff like wallpapers or web designs.

"Some final thoughts?"
Thanks for all the views and downloads of my works!
You guys are the reason i like this hobby and will keep on doing more.


iNFO

No that i live in my own place with a cool housemate i have more time to work on my icons.
Now i can do icons all the time, no interruption due to work. This gives me the time to look for proper media i can work with. But youre always free to help me finding good stuff for a cool icon.

Request info
  • Icons will always come as ".ico" and ".png"

  • Just icons for "Games" or "Game Tools" (No movie/shows/etc. folder icons)

  • Don't re-upload them without my permission



Thanks for all the requests so far. Of course there are some more.
I will take my time to work off these first :)

Cheers

Not only are these icons simply amazing :D, they also update me on the upcoming/recently out games :) Would it be possible for you to make a ME2 icon featuring Femshep? If it's not too much trouble ofc...

I cant.
The "official" Female Shepard model was designed with Mass Effect 3. So there is no usefull artwork with a model from the 2nd ME.
And i wont use crappy screenshots for an icon ;D

Cheers

I want to.
But racing games are the worst to make icon for..
I will figure out how it might turn out good

What PS effects do you typically use for your icons? Yours look more dynamic and professional than any other I've seen.

I seriously have no idea, haha.
I dont really use any effects, just putting the pieces together that i think will get to a good looking outcome.

Planning to make a tutorial-series soon.

Cheers =)

Odd how your icons look so distinct then. IvanCEs' icons are the only ones I think come close, and it honestly looks like both of you use some sort of layer.
Anyway, thanks for the reply. :)
