Topic: Compo: Create the new Teewars cursor!

Yes, as the topic said. We need a cursor for our shiny new 0.3.0 that is nearing completion fast. Create the new teewars cursor.

Some rules and guide lines.
* 60x60 png with transparency (or a 64x64 with 2 pixel transparent border).
* No animations.
* Make it fit into the new gui. Here for a screenshot.
* Make it easy to see.
* Post your work to this thread.
* You must own the rights to it, don't use copyrighted material, When it ships with Teewars, it will be probebly licensed under Creative Commons.

The deadline is when we feel like it, but with one week notice. Depends on when 0.3.0 is done.

What do you win? Fame and glory ofcause, what else? smile

Here is the current cursor.

Too bad Tees don't have any hands. I wanted to make a little tee pointing with its finger smile

Re: Compo: Create the new Teewars cursor!

Oh, nice. smile Too bad I don't have any imagination whatsoever, and I'm not too good at drawing either. *Tries to recreate cursor using other colorscheme* wink

Nice one, nealz. big_smile

EDIT:

Hmm.. Made one now, but it does'nt seem like my version of PS can save pngs.. Does it have to be a PNG?

Anyhow, here's the cursor (With white background..):

Hey, that's nice! It doesn't mesh perfectly with the flatter, more aquarelle look of Teewars, but it's a good candidate smile

Re: Compo: Create the new Teewars cursor!

I like PrimeviL's the best so far, but I'm fine with the current one as well. hmm

I'll take a crack at making one if I get a good idea for one.

Re: Compo: Create the new Teewars cursor!

I dont like Primevil, and current one because color palette is ugly(and gradient doesnt fit good into flat warsow-like(cell shaded) flat-shaded game gfx. BistyBert and Sab0o are best for me form this.
I know that you are Fre-Software/Linux developers, so you probably know what is Tango Project, and in my opinion its good to try keep their color palette in game(i wasnt comparing, but all exdluding cursor looks really good for me, and with its funniest(chain reactions ans sounds), nicest(with AA it beats any worms/liero/soldat, and best animated(playing wormux I was thinking that something with legs cannot be cute like worms).
for those doesnt know what is Tango, please visit http://tango.freedesktop.org/, its nice colore-palette, icon making guidelines, and iconset(also for windows), made by GNOME developers(mainly Novell/Redhat), their guidelines were used in many commercial projects(like latest VMware), because its cute, neutral(doesnt make headaches and fit with any darkness themes), and its much more safe for epileptics than Luna(winXP) theme.

Re: Compo: Create the new Teewars cursor!

Dunno if this competition is still going, but here's one:
http://i25.tinypic.com/9ptipt.jpg

Here is a screenshot

It'll look good on any colored gui, that's why I picked white.

Edit: Oops, it got cropped to a smaller size somewhere, that's the cursor full size though.

Re: Compo: Create the new Teewars cursor!

Syc0: Its definitely good, flat shaded compose well with flat-shaded game gfx. Reminds me old Jimmac(old Gnome cursor), and its visible on any surface by contrasting white surface with black border.
BistyBert's cursor has something that this doesnt have, but this two are best candidates for me, and are 100x better than current one.
