Difficulty icons needed

[Per]

See viewtopic.php?f=35&t=7310 for a description of the changes that have been done to difficulty, and screenshots of the placeholder icons in action. Obviously these icons need replacement, and I'm hoping on our resident artists can come up with something nice

I am attaching the image atlas file for the icons, they are listed in increasing order of difficulty. The icons are 26x26 in size. If you can't compile master, just modify the attached file with new icons, and I'll make a screenshot of how it looks in the game for you.

The ideas I had for the icons was something neat and cuddly for easy, then increasingly nasty as we go up the difficulty levels, ending with perhaps a nuclear blast. Bonus if the icons have some kind of symbolic relation to the Warzone universe, but this is not required.

So, have a go at it!

Why not just have icons representing The Project > Paradigm > Collective > Nexus as your difficulty icons? (Or just Paradigm / Collective / Nexus if you only want the three difficulties)

Speaking of icons, is there any chance of getting zerovirus's excellent cursors into the game? For those who don't know what I'm talking about, I'm refering to the ones in this topic: viewtopic.php?f=33&t=4648. I know Zarel said that they need a bit of overhauling, but since they're just 2D sprites, it wouldn't take nearly as much work as most of the other stuff in Art Revolution.

[Per]

@CyclonatorZ, this is off-topic. And I believe those icons are already in the game. You just need to turn on colour cursor support. Which is not turned on by default (yet) because it breaks various things.

Sorry.

Anway, I think Flail13's icons are great - the only thing I don't get is why he's using a hare for the easiest difficulty.

why not a cyborg?

[Saberuneko]

Cyborgs can be stronger than tanks if well used.

Why not a kitty? (Now serious, maybe a static defense tower?)
