I heard a while back that people were annoyed with how similar the Magic Weapon Maker was to Triple Damage, and that they commonly mixed them up. I decided I would endeavor into the world of image-editing with my meager skills, and I came up with the following as a replacement:


I don't know about you, but I think that looks pretty freaking awesome!

The only way I can see the two icons being similar enough to confuse people is if they are trying to see it out of the corner of their eye and are just seeing the color purple. They don't look alike at all in my opinion.

But I do like the new icon you made. I vote we switch because titanium is a nice look.

I've mixed them up before using just the method said by vortex.

This makes enough sense to me to get a approval. I like the idea.

I think the chrome is a great look also, though i've never gotten confused by the old texture.

I never confused them, either, but alas...

The original (only being a texture for the Double Damage model) had a couple weird sections (like the bottom-left corner) and was a couple pixels off-center, I believe.

This one I made starting with the original, taking one side and mirroring it (getting rid of weird imperfections) and filling the last four columns of pixels on the side with copied gradient sections. I then decolorized it, leaving it to be quite dark, and then I experimented with GIMP's light effects to produce the above. For being the first draft (and final, I think), it looks pretty cool.

To me, it looks like a frame-like Artifact (duh) that has an energy core, and it's shining blinding light all around.

Love it.

Like it, but I'd test it in game (if you havnt already) the engine tends to increase the brightness of textures.
