If you want you can take the blank rune from my upload and transport the markings from your runes or put new ones, it's as the classic runes, so it won't stand out like the current ones do.


I can delete the background and smooth the edges if its a problem. the runes were taken directly from the docs/phrozen keep (their source). I directly drew over it. for the size the game scales them for you, that or marco/laz did it. i kept the black background so that its easier to take them from the picture and have the right size (28x28). Also the background is RGB 0 0 0, unless my program is lying to me.

That's the thing i've tried to explain, the source is not optimal, i've taken your pic and removed most of what the game sees as transparent (R 0 G 0 B 0) but on Thai, Rha and Xar there are still some pixels that are not R 0 G 0 B 0 and also how they have almost a black pixel border. Also next to your name i've put an original El rune so you can see the difference in size and color, and i suggested you use the original but if you don't want to use an original rune as canvas that's fine.

Ah right, my bad i didn't undertand the first time <.< but i fixed it.

I can probably add back the black square if needed but here they are. Also i wont use the original rune's canvas since the goal here was to rework the rune and the canvas changes for each runes (i think).

I like them, and as for them not looking the same as the normal ones, I think it is fitting since they are new additions to median and not from clod. Bravo :)

You're too nice :D

I will be making the dc6 for each of the new ones (darker version + alt with and w/o black background) after i eat, so it's easier for marco to add them (if he wants to :roll: ) I'll also be finishing the rest of them.

The whole thing was to make the runes look more like the real ones. i've never really seen elemental runes and cant seem to find any images of them that i can edit so i cant really tell if they need to be edited.
