# by BlueRevolution on 10/26/09 at 04:02:10I love it! I prefer the from-scratch version, personally. Colouring the default duck brown just wouldn't have the same effect.
The away and idle states could use some work, though. Maybe away could be a freakishly large footprint? # by 3lilducks on 10/26/09 at 04:12:08I didn't put a lot of effort into it. If I revise it, I will have the Away state with the character walking away looking back, like the infamous photo. Maybe the Idle state as a large footprint or maybe have bigfoot hiding behind an evergreen tree? Also, I need variation in the eyes and bill. This was just a rough draft to get some feedback.
Thanks for the positive comments. # by metaphysical on 10/30/09 at 21:02:41Awesome work here. I would love to see your PSD to see how you created some of the feather effects and shading. Is it just a lot of burning and dodging or are those shapes?
Some suggestions: you should probably pack it as a smaller resolution (128px I think?). Right now it's double (or triple) the size it should be and it's creating a strange effect in my dock with badges and whatnot. Maybe with that smaller size you can up the contrast and color so that it looks more at home with other high contrast icons in the dock. # by 3lilducks on 10/30/09 at 22:52:10@metaphysical,
I did a quick sketch, scanned it, traced my sketch with the lasso tool to create body parts, burned the shadows, then used the lasso tool for selecting highlights. Quick and easy... I believe it is at 256 px. I ran into this problem with the other dock icon I created because I didn't read instructions first (http://trac.adium.im/wiki/Creati...ngDockIcons). I will resize to 128 px and upload later today. When I get some time, I will probably start from scratch and create something more elaborate with overlays and more animation.
