Add icon for Moon Hunters #5798

Closed mrmeszaros closed 1 year ago

Fixes #5427

Banner Circle icon Square icon
moon-hunters base moon-hunters circle 384 moon-hunters square 384

Colors seem a bit too bright, currently working on darker shades. Also, am not fully satisfied with the hair - looking into alternate lining + maybe including that circle hair ornament.

palob commented 2 years ago

Indeed, symbol-baseplate contrast is a bit harsh. Contrast inside the icon seems a bit low. Is there a way to set the different elements better apart colour-wise? Arms and folded hands could get on-symbol shadows.

Okay, so here is a B option (A is current) - went overall darker, smaller L differences between blues, + de-saturation. Still needs further color correction.

C has additionally that hair pin I mentioned - not sure on that. But, I have another design in mind I'll try.

When doing on-symbol shadows - do I do them in a separate path?

palob commented 2 years ago

Yes, separate path. First duplicate and merge the paths which should cast a shadow, move them. Then duplicate the path(s) (and merge) the shadow is cast on and intersect with the resulting path from step 1.

Inner-symbol contrast is still a bit low even in draft C, especially brightness-wise. Shadows will also aid in making the different parts stand out more from one another.

C has the darkened tweaked colors. D has some lighter baseplate (trying out stuff). I'm not yet satisfied with the the body / skin tones.

palob commented 2 years ago

Out of those I like D the best.

Well, first I was skeptical (liked the forearm muscles 😅), but a rework like this looks pretty decent IMHO:

moon-hunters-handnbody-rework

Here are some renders: Current Elbow-shadow Lifted right hand

If this doesn't make the arm look too deformed or the elbow too pointy (from the preview it looks a bit like that) let's go with the right one, otherwise the centre one.

Okay, I feel I am getting close to the end here. I tweaked the hair for better shapes / alignment, and added the hair ornament. Here's version F and E:

moon-hunters-hair-e

moon-hunter-hair-f

E F
moon-hunters circle 384 e moon-hunters circle 384 f
moon-hunters circle 96 e moon-hunters circle 96 f
moon-hunters circle 48 e moon-hunters circle 48 f

I'm a bit undecided - maybe like E more.

Also, tried an adjusted bottom body hue. I kinda like it - what do You think? moon-hunters circle 384 e moon-hunters circle 384 g

@palob I'm sorry - I forgot to commit the drop-shadow fix and some other misc. What is the path of action in such a case? New PR? or should I push to the same branch?

Sorry, for the extra hassle - I know it's been a heck, and thanks in advance!

palob commented 1 year ago

Both is possible, new PR is the easiest I think. Thanks for the correction and sorry for not spotting the outdated shadow. The hassle which comes with contributions is always welcome.
