Christmas is coming soon, so it is time to get to work on those icons. As we already did a Christmas special before, we still have many icons from the last one. However, as time passed, the style and quality has changed. So, in order to update to it, we will be needing to fix most of the icons. When fixing them, this does not mean we have to start completely from scratch, as many of them could just be fixed with some edits.
What needs to be fixed - Black outlines, detail, shading. (Does not apply to old icons when adding additions. For instance, if adding a decoration to a battle marker, the battle marker keeps the same look and outline.)
When removing the black outline, be sure to follow the new outline rules to make sure it look correct. Just removing the black outline and not doing the other requirements will make the icon look worse, so be sure to follow the correct steps. If an icon is not up to quality, it may have to be redone however.
Beyond fixing the current icons, we will also need to add completely new ones. For instance, I want to see a giant Mrs. Claus. A giant Grinch would be cool too. Whatever ideas you have, please be sure to add them to the list.
When working on an icon or several icons you have planned to work on, please be sure to add your name next to the icon on the icon list. It greatly helps for anyone else wanting to fix or do an icon to know what icons are available. If your name is not next to it, they may decide to it, and then we end up with two icons for the same thing. By adding your name, I do not mean to add your name after the icon is done. Add your name before you work on it. Once you decide to work on an icon, add your name then, not later.
If you have any ability to do icons, please try. You only have to do one icon a day. Pretty much everyone should be able to manage that. If you cannot do one icon a day, try doing several icons on certain days instead. If most people do at least one icon a day, we will have a lot of icons. So, please, work on the icons. I do not want to see what happened last time happen again. I do not want to come by three weeks later and only see three icons halfway finished. We need work if this is going to happen. But one icon a day is easy to manage, especially since most icons are just going to be edits of the old ones right now anyways.
