Update on icons

after reviewing my ideas with the other designer, we decided to go in a different, hand drawn looking direction for the rat race game. I’ll also be working on some illustrations for encounters in the game. 

icons should be 64x64 px

encounter illustrations should be 640 x 640 px

I’m giving myself until the end of the day on Monday the 31st to do this.

I’m working through rat types, rattributes, and other icons first. Here are my initial sketches:

I made two icons in illustrator before I realized that the line weight was way too small to be clear when the icon is its smallest at 24x24px:

The next issue i had to overcome was communicating the packrat visually. I made a bunch of examples but none of them made too much sense. I decided to solve this problem by showing a really simple rat with a bindle. I edited the other icons to include the rat. When I showed my ideas to the team, this was their favorite iteration.

I made the rat’s “accessory” larger and increased the line weight even more. (latest iteration on the bottom)
