Hey. Im tired of looking at my placeholder icons for all the abilities of the units in my game :P. I need some real icons (i always want free but I dont mind spending money on a quality icon pack). I have googled a bit but i cant realy find what im looking for. I dont want my modeler to make it since he has enough to do as it is even though he is a good artist (my team exists of me - programmer/designer - and him - modeler). The icon style im looking for is that of warcraft III/WoW but i understand that that level of quality might be out of my reach for now. Regardles i want my icons to have that feel as much as possible. Im looking for some recomendations of where i might find what im looking for. Thnx in Advance!

some time ago, while looking exactly for the same thing, bumped into this set of rpg icons. according to the author, they are free to use.

alternatively, try to find an artist for this task, it's not terribly expensive even for commercial quality. also, try to contact artists at pixeljoint or deviantart to get non-exclusive deals for their already made art.

Thnx. That icon pack isnt quite what im looking for but i can use some of them as a fallback when i dont get anything else. il look through deviantart.com for more icons but there doesnt seem to be a nice way of searching for it (and i dont want to look through artist profiles 1 by 1).

here are a couple of artists with high-quality icon sets on da:
cseec
nangeyi
zxoqwikl
jimmy9494
avernal

also, wayofthepixel is a good place to look if you need pixel artists or the concept art forums as a last resort for commission work.

Thnx for all the suggestions.
