Free RPG Graphics: 13 Glossy Spell Icons for your Game or Site

realistic_rpg_icons_spells

Don’t ask me why I made these – I don’t design games. But I do have a special place in my heart for everything fantasy.

I couldn’t get these to be 100% vector, as the finishing touches are mostly done in Photoshop, so I’m afraid you can’t have the .eps file with this one. But you do get 13 153×153px fantasy icons for your game or website.

51 Free Classic Victorian Christmas Photoshop Brushes

This set contains vintage Christmas-themed brushes pulled from uncopywrited Project Gutenberg books dating from 1800-1920. The majority of the brushes show scenes from a Victorian Christmas, and this set includes brushes from popular holiday books.

Brush sizes range from 200px – 2500px, but mostly weight in at 400px-700px.

Happy Holidays.

6 Free Retro 50’s Icons – .png and .ico Format

retro_50s_icons_set

I was just mucking around with a few ideas, and ended up with a set of 1950’s icons that aren’t really cohesive enough to sell as a set, but which I figure someone probably has a use for.

The set includes: vanilla, chocolate and strawberry milkshake icons, roller skates, jukebox icon, and a martini icon.

The roller skate icon was based on a picture by pro photographer Jon Helgason.

21 Free GIMP Brushes: Chinese Symbols

brush_into_art_chinese_gimp

For your open source graphic design delight, I give you 21 high-res Chinese calligraphy GIMP brushes. This set includes 20 Mandarin (modern Chinese) character brushes and one extra-large scroll brush that can be used as a background. Each brush file is named with an English translation of the symbol’s meaning.

If you’re going for authenticity, these can’t really double as Japanese brushes, as they use the modern post-Mao character set, but if you’re audience is English-speaking and can’t tell the difference, they’re close enough.

Includes one of each: love, peace, longevity, prosperity, father, mother, house, friendship, earth, wind, fire, water, Buddhism, deity, dream, courage, dragon, tiger, patience and trust.

These brushes were created in GIMP 2.6.7. To use them, go to your GIMP directory, and find the Share > gimp > 2.0 > Brushes file, then paste all of the .gbr files included in my brush set into that directory. Then either re-start GIMP, or refresh the GIMP brushes palette to see and begin using the brushes.
