Since some fathers (Adium users) of Adiumy Duck Icon demanded to see their long lost son, I thought I should send in a pic of their sons to hold them for a while. Once the Extreme Make-Up® is done, they will be sent to home.
Graphics like this may seem like easy to make but it isn’t. You only have so few pixels to work on and adding one pixel can really affect the overall look. What’s even more challenging is deforming the beak and making facial expression to look as clear as possible so you don’t have to squint your eyes.
Any suggestion/feedback will be appreciated. I’m debating about doing smileys for 4 other colors (yellow, purple, blue and red) but I’m not sure if it will be worth my time.
Yay! Quack!
Awesome work Adam…thanks for the sneaky peek…man oh man do you come through when asked…
Thanks!
P.S. I would really like the other color variations but understand if it cannot happen!
Woah, those are awesome. So fresh.
Looks great! A lot of custom smiles are hard to differentiate from one another, but these are very clear and very smooth. Good work.
O hellll ya. I have been waiting forever for Adiumemoticons. Great work!
Great work!! This is the perfect smiley set for all Adium users, I can’t wait to see all of them.
Also, the burning duck is pretty cool.
Impressive! Looking forward for the final version of those emoticons :D
Absolutely incredible work, the duck beams with pride :D Your site is a beautiful combination of CSS as well, kudos on the design.
On the color variants: why not create an automated batch script to select the green color range and hue shift it appropriately (for the color) and run it on a folder full of the icons? (if they are in a PS compatible format) Shouldn’t take 10 minutes or so… (per set)
Gtea icons…ccan’t wait to download them!
Wow, Adam. Your artistic talent just keeps growing. I know who to turn to if I ever need some great artwork for anything.
This will boost the “personality” of Adium even more. Awesome! :)
Lookin spiffy!
Another reason for people to get off any Yahoo, ICQ or MSN clients and get on Adium.
Thanks for the absolutely awesome smilies (or should those be Quackies?). :)
Great set, you are the pixel king ;)
Two words:
Awesome.
Purple.
Wow. Just. Wow. You’re a budding ARTEEEESSTT now, AB! :-) Keep up the excellent work, and don’t rip off your ear.
I’ve a comment! :) I love the shocked Adiumy so much, that I would realllllly appreciated it, if you could make a 1024×768 wallpaper with Adiumy and his shocked face!
Pretty Please! :)
Hey Adam…I was just asking my roomie if we could change the duck color….I would love it it you took the time to do the extra colors…they would really be fantastic. ;)
Thanks!! :D
