Hello!

As I prepare this month's Librarium Animated releases, I've been evaluating a small change to the contents of our Animated Full Releases.

Since I've improved quite a bit in facial construction and expressions, I was thinking about replacing the loot/equipment icons with additional portrait/faceset expressions.

The loot icons wouldn't disappear entirely. Instead, I'd move them to the monthly Sample Project updates, so they would continue to be produced there. We would also continue including the usual 3-4 skill icons with every Full Release.

The change would look something like this:

Current:

6 Loot/Equipment Icons

3-4 Skill Icons

Proposed:

Faceset/Portrait with at least 4 expressions (depending on the design). Think of the standard set such as Default, Happy, Sad, and Surprised, with the possibility of one or two additional unique expressions whenever appropriate.

3-4 Skill Icons

In terms of production time, this isn't really a workload reduction. Creating the loot icons takes roughly the same amount of effort as producing the additional expressions. The goal is simply to make each character more versatile and useful for your projects.

I'll put together a poll so the community can decide which option they'd prefer!

Let me know your thoughts overall also dont miss out on the first batch of June 2026 Battler designs map sprites, now available! the rest of the set will drop soon!

Edit:

For the sake of illustrating better the curret level I have arrived at for faces here's a few I've been doing for practice on and off through the month:

I'd go for more expressions as boss characters could arguably settle for just the default expression, but the more humanoid characters often need more than one expression which usually means many have to either request you to make a few more by commission anyways, or find another artist to make them anyways if the user themselves can't draw them. The default four expressions help give characters like the Librarian lady ironically of all people much needed revamp so more can use her in situations like an actual guild attendant. Loot could be just 1 or 2 max as over time we literally will have 100's of loot as it adds up anyways.

this is an excellent idea skymin! and it actually offers the best from both worlds! Id like to see more discussion hwoever, I see the demand for Icons was higher than I imagined

Late to the party but the loot icons are like literally saving me and i love them. It would be a shame to see them go. *guilt* *guilt*

Hey David! Since this poll wasnt a crushing 90% or something like that I will still keep on adding icons for releases, at the very least for the most distinctive visual elements on the battlers, thanks for your support :)
