[HELP] Hand-drawn icons

Hello!
I am a bit new in the topic of creating icons. I like the hand-drawn style, this is why I made me some icons for my favourite apps. You can see the items in my Picasa Gallery at http://picasaweb.google.com/110196198576872958715/HandDrawnIcons?authkey=Gv1sRgCJrEjpyc7_2_Gg&feat=directlink or you can download them in JPG with 480x480 in my Dropbox at http://dl.dropbox.com/u/14389308/Handdrawn.rar .

I wanna create a theme that looks handmade too. I got no idea how to make those items look good on a background. I would like to use crinkled paper or something as a background. I would really appreciate some help or maybe tipps how to do this.
Thx in advance.

I like the idea!
I have seen something like that for Windows:
http://browse.deviantart.com/?qh=&section=&q=icons#/d286emb
Here's a wrinkled paper texture that could be used as background.
http://digitalricky.deviantart.com/...38545187?q=boost:popular+wrinkled+paper&qo=15
Maybe lighten it up a little bit, or add a grid.

I used the textuare and some Gimp skills and created a pre-version of the style
I made the icons 110x122 to fit the 1x1 Desktop Virtualiser widget cause I would like it to look like the tiles from WM7. Do you know if I could bring in my own handwriting which I got as a font to make some time or date widgets?

If you've got it as a font, then I think yes.
Also a little suggestion, if you make the icons transparent, then it looks like it's actually on the paper.
What I mean is just have the drawing lines visible, without the white background you used to draw on.

Tested and working on T-Mobile G1, CM6.1RC1. Had to delete the system ADW to use it, but I'm on it now and it's slick. Settings all seem to work. What did you change, other than a few images?

From what I see you need to turn down the green a little and flip the battery. Also I think if you greenify the WiFi icon from Simplistic it'll look a lot like the one in the pic

Okay thanks, although what I could tell the picture looks faded some how, so I added a little more vibrance
I will work on flipping the battery also
EDIT: Also here is a non faded looking pic

I made myself an icon pack to use with desktop visuliser
I just thought I would share it with you all
if I think of more to add I will do
there are lots icons to chose from
all you need to do is save them to a folder on your sd card
and point desktop visuliser to those icons
they are 110 x 122 size
I haven't included any bigger ones, because these are for my own personal use so i didnt bother with various sizes
thanks to Taine0 for the idea
and whoever made the various icons I downloaded from google images
anyway
here they are
I hope you enjoy them
p.s yes I have a thing for skulls which is why I kept the skull image on all files in the background
all files zipped HERE
you can also find these images on my dropbox gallery here

requests are welcome, but may take a little time
any suggestions / tips, feel free as long as its constructive

These look awesome. Thanks!

Oh, does this include the skull icon that is in your profile pic? That is a sweet icon

yeah, I left the skull on them all, the foreground image is 95% transparent, so you can still see a little bit of the skull in there

the zip vanished, so i have re-uploaded it, and stored it on dropbox as well just in case

[Q- MIUI] Changing application/icon In Launcher.

So I'm using Illest Icons2, and the icon for the default MIUI camera app is really nice, but I don't use that app.
I use Vignette and there's not a custom icon for that app.
How would I go about changing the mtz to set the icon for the default camera, to Vignette, so I can have it on the homescreen without it looking out of place?

Steps 1 through 4 can be avoided if you just review the icons in
/data/system/customized_icons_1/
essentially all non-themed apps have an icon present in here.

Sorry to ring a dead topic back to life, but would this also apply to replacing one non-themed icon with a themed one? Like the Opera mini app with the stock browser's icon...

[Request] Samsung status bar icons

Has anyone been able to export the Samsung icons and put them in any theme? I always thought that Samsung phones have the best looking icons.
I'm talking about these icons:

I found this framework-res with these icons, but how much should I resize them to fit our phone? http://www.4shared.com/file/fKigopxT/framework-res.html

It's stock Android 2.2 (2.1, 1.6..) icons. Use RetroDroid CM7 Theme.

I'm using that one now, thanks. Do you know any that looks just like that one but is dark? I can't find anything similar, only this one, but I don't use AWD: https://market.android.com/details?id=adw.creativethemez.froyoback&feature=search_result
