Mario Item icons + other misc - Neslug - 05-25-2010

Some of you might remember these from an older thread I had. Icons for some common, some less common Mario powerups and items, fully custom. Ones on the left are my palettes, ones on the right use ML:BiS colours and mimic the outline style. The Comet Medal (bottom right) is obviously still very much unfinished (and will be completely redone, so ignore it).
And now the edits:

For the originals head here and here.
Since I was bored and felt ML:BiS could've used more things from the past. So, a Grand Goomba (Choomba-size for obvious reasons) and a huge Power Star.

I wish I could help but everything looks so damn perfect.
idk
The biggest white dots on the basic mushrooms could use a little more rounding.
The very top of the bee mushroom sticks out more than the rest of that stripe. It's difficult to avoid a little awkwardness in the shading if just a little sliver of yellow is shown at the top. Perhaps it would be better to follow the official pattern.

I would try giving the spring mushroom even more contrast...maybe experiment with it if you haven't already.

the trail of the commet needs either a heavy duty Antialiasing or either simplify it.
sorry i just couldn't ignore it.
RE: Mario Item icon customs and loledits - Gors - 05-26-2010
also the trail should curve like an arc, right? Right now, it's forming a barrel shape.

So, what style is this supposed to imitate ? Is it just by your wit ?

RE: Mario Item icon customs and loledits - Neslug - 05-27-2010
Yeah it's a custom style. I made the "ML:BiS versions" for fun and because my own shading style is pretty close to it.
@ Dark:
I tried rounding the dots a little, but I'm not too sure...
Good call on the Bee Mushroom though. I never bothered to use a ref for it, that stripe order works better in this case.
@ Francisco Cifuentes:
Yeah you're right, but I didn't even have a reference for it at the time. Upon looking it up on Mariowiki I realized I even got the shape of the coin wrong. So scratched it shall be.

The problem is that it looks too hexagonal.
RE: Mario Item icon customs and loledits - Neslug - 05-27-2010
He-hexagonal? How's that? Unless you're mistaking the lighter coloured part around the spot as part of it, that's a highlight. Here's the spot on a red background, nothing else.

Making this yet another general thread for my spriting. It's a Bubble Slime.

The big, white central circle is not round enough. it's too blocky.

I don't think I can make it any rounder without adding another colour.
RE: Mario Item icons + other misc - Lexou Duck - 05-27-2010
Make the side edges one or two pixels less large.

I can't get it to look right. Well, better than it did before.
RE: Mario Item icons + other misc - Lexou Duck - 05-27-2010
Here, i did my best. How does it look to you ?

This? On the other hand I think it might be getting too small.
