I have yet to tell the world of what I shall be when I reach the 2500 post mark. Frightening, isn't it?

I'm putting two bucks on "King Penguin" or some variant.

Yeah, sorry about that. I originally wrote "might" but then I realized, "Wait, why did I say that? It's more or less certain."
I don't think I'm going to get on chat, though. I think I'm getting off the computer pretty soon, so... I wouldn't be on for very long.

@Clonkinator: Is this any good at all?

I think it turned out to be pretty ugly, but I messed with it for quite a while and I can't think of how to do it better. :?

I envisioned the mouth would be on the tip, so when you try to drink from it the little bastard gives you a frenchie. :P
:wink:

@Purple: I don't want to be ungrateful, but... I think that looks a little weird. =/
Maybe you could either put the teeth on the tip or simply put evil-looking eyes there instead of a mouth? =o

You're not being ungrateful; I said it looked weird too. :P

I didn't want to just do evil eyes because that's pretty much what I did with the Tome Mimic.
I'll probably give it another shot soon, but if someone else wants to try, go for it.

I just had another idea for how it could work: Maybe it breaks itself in half and shoves itself down your throat? I could make it look jagged...

Okay. ^^

Well, but Mimics pretty much always only have teeth or eyes (or both) and look just like the real object other than that; and if I'm not mistaken, there are more mimics with teeth right now (or planned to be) than mimics with eyes. I think eyes would suit the potion mimic best. ^^

Currently:

Chest Mimic just has a mouth
Tile Mimic has no face at all.
Tome Mimic has a mouth and eyes.

So I guess that's OK.

I know, it doesn't look menacing. It still looks like it's kinda sad or something. Not all that great either. Whatever, practice makes perfect! And if you don't like it you can tell me how to improve it.

Alright, thanks, that already comes close to what I had in mind. :)
I had actually imagined the eyes to be white, comical (and, to be honest, slightly bigger) ones, but these are fine as well if you don't want to redo it yet again. ^^
So, unless someone wants to give it another try, I'd be happy to take that one as a rank icon. ^^

If you can wait, I can give it a try a little later.

That's nice, but it would have been better if you had put them on an actual model skin so that it could be used in the game eventually...

If you (or AoD, or whoever else) want, you can just do the skin and send it to me so I can make the icon out of it.


And here's my most recent try, per your descriptions.
I think it turned out rather nicely, but I don't know if it's exactly what you had in mind.

Yep, that's pretty exactly how I imagined it to look. Many thanks! :D
I'll wait for AoD's version, but in any case, I'd be perfectly fine with this one. ^^
