TOPIC | Pixel Bio Graphics (free to use)
1 2 3
I've been working on a revamp of my bios, and the RPG-esque pixel header icons I made for them were pretty popular on Tumblr, so I decided to stick them somewhere more easily referenced (and updated, when I add new ones.) They're black-and-white so as to go with any color scheme present in the rest of the profile - the object components are traced from various items on FR, and the text is a pixel font of my own creation that I use for various projects and purposes. I am [b]tentatively taking requests[/b] - you are free to name icons that you think would be useful, but I have no solid schedule for making them and I'll pick what icons to do at my own discretion. If I feel that an icon's potential use is too narrow, I probably won't pick it up - the idea with these is that they're supposed to be versatile and applicable to as many characters as possible, so that if you want to do RPG-format bios they can be used consistently across multiple bios. I might at some point offer commissions for custom placecards and other icons/graphics that would be specific to a single lair, but I have no ETA on this because the school semester has started and I am always some degree of "pretty busy". If you want to be pinged when I put up new icons, or for any specific icons, just let me know and I will be happy to oblige! You can check out [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?p=lair&id=12788&tab=dragon&did=462422]this dragon[/url] in my lair for an example of how I use these icons, but you're also free to use as many or as few of them as you'd like in any way that you would like! [img]http://i.imgur.com/69qlbZU.png[/img] [img]http://i.imgur.com/MLMxEyT.gif[/img] Two versions of a "talksprite", useful for showcasing quotes, dialogue, or "testimonials". [img]http://i.imgur.com/x1k24On.png[/img] I use this for RPG-esque stats like power, constitution, flying ability, and magic prowess, but you could use this as a header for any block of dragon data. [img]http://i.imgur.com/AKkRQwX.png[/img] Self-explanatory. [img]http://i.imgur.com/t1RIpkQ.png[/img] The point of this was so that "story" could just be backstory and past events and "quicklook" could just be personality and current role, but the name is so vague you can use it for whatever you want. [img]http://i.imgur.com/BprRPsh.png[/img] Also self-explanatory. I like using FR item icons to represent things in the dragon's possession, some related to their profession and some indicative of their hobbies or personality. Also useful for RP - send dragons things they like, or add gifts yours have received to their inventory! [img]http://i.imgur.com/fiHkaBS.png[/img] SOCIAL LINK, GO i mean uh. If you want a graphic "CR Chart" instead of a text blurb, the avatar versions of your dragons' images come in handy - they're smallish and cute and they auto-update whenever you decide to put a new hat on your dragon. For dragons in your possession, you can just flip open your avatar changer, copy an image address, and go, but if you're trying to list other people's dragons or you're doing a lot and just want to work from IDs, the image URL looks like this: [code]http://www1.flightrising.com/rendern/portraits/XXX/YYYp.png[/code] ...where YYY is the dragon's ID, and XXX is the dragon's ID with the last two digits cut off, and then 1 added to the result. Like this: [code]http://www1.flightrising.com/rendern/portraits/148074/14807327p.png[/code] [img]http://i.imgur.com/x0XuNge.png[/img] I haven't used this one yet, but if you want to keep track of your dragon's family tree independent of a "relations" section, here's something for that. [img]http://i.imgur.com/bH74gtt.png[/img] Self-explanatory. [img]http://i.imgur.com/RE59Yhp.png[/img] Some people like to link songs or playlists for their dragons, here's a header for that. [img]http://i.imgur.com/tmbKRhd.png[/img] The result of a request to add an "Other" icon for miscellaneous trivia!...it's supposed to be traced from the Beastclan missive scraps, but it kind of looks like a weird rock. I'm planning to add at least one alternative, so the one exception to the "no requests right now" rule is please suggest items to use for the "Other" icon.

Some people like to link songs or playlists for their dragons, here's a header for that.

Lair-related pixel headers! I'm not sure how well these would work in a clan profile, but if you put your lair info in a dragon bio [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?p=lair&id=12788&tab=dragon&did=14807327]like I do[/url] then they should work just fine. If clan profiles need smaller versions, lmk and I'll try to slim them down. These ones come in regular and bookended versions, so that you can stick them on the left or center align them for a fancier lair description. [img]http://i.imgur.com/OH6ClpJ.png[/img] [img]http://i.imgur.com/Uc0H2RE.png[/img] To describe where your lair is located and/or what the land around it is like.

I use dragon portrait icons to display my casts, but if you have a more sophisticated setup and want to include familiars or Beastclan characters, the "inhabitants" version might be your thing. The icon is the "Clan" rune from Runestones of the Arcanist.

And other graphics stuff here I guess. [img]http://i.imgur.com/rO8iNm9.png[/img] This is the font I use in these icons and in all of my matching graphics, if you want to whip up your own simple headers and stuff and keep the style consistent. Letters are 4x5 and numbers are 3x5, and the spacing between characters is a blanket 1 pixel. In the icons, each pixel in the letter becomes a 2x2 square, so each letter takes up an 8x10 pixel rectangle and there are two pixels of space between each letter.

bump for a few new ones! Added Music to dragon icons, and edited the second post to include icons for lair descriptions, starting with Location and Dragons/Inhabitants!

Wow, thanks for making these!! I've been using them for a while from tumblr... They are super great.
