Icon and Graphics board, a community

While perusing our board, if you like what you see, feel free to stick around! The Icon and Graphics board is a fantastic community of artists and people sharing ideas, telling bad jokes and requesting artwork - not just for the Vault but their own guild�s or personal sites too!!


Have a request, general questions or just want some help figuring things out? Feel free to ask, we have a number of talented and knowledgeable people that will be willing to give you a hand.


We're looking for more artists!

If you happen to have a knack or talent for art of these sorts, and need some where to shine and show off, the Icon and Graphics board could be your match made in heaven.
We are currently looking for a few good artists to fill our staff and aid in our quest of beautifying the internet and making icons.

If you are interested in applying and helping out, you can find more information here


Please include a sample of your work. It needn�t be anything elaborate, it�s all about the basic know how with a touch of creativity for good measure.
You can contact me one of two ways, either via PM on the boards or send me an email.

So get moving, and get involved!

iBrahim bring us Assault at Minas Tirith, a custom BFME 2 ROTWK map. From the description...

Welcome to my iFortress.

This is not my first map, but a the first to finally put it on this site.

The Defender must be MEN Ai, four attackers preferably Humans. But do not fool around as many have lost in this battle. I didnt add loading picture or terrain picture as it sometimes slows the loading.

The game:
-Once the gate/wall is destroyed they attack and 'pour' out.
-Plan your attack, the more you plan the more chance you win.
-Three levels of Minas Tirith.
-Trebuchets along the wall.
-High start money.
-Good Game.

Known bugs:
At the games end the view sometimes switches to black; restart the game to play another map.

Gondor_Rlz bring us Amon Sul, a custom BFME 2 ROTWK map. From the description...

This is my version of Amon Sul, the changes i have made are:
i have blocked up the enterance to the inn with walls, towers and a gate.
i have added a Anorien builder so u can build a barracks and have Anor soldiers, archers ect, i found it on world builder so i didnt make it. You have to build a new builder if you want to build anor units, the catch is you cant build any more regular builders so if you are dwarves and all your dwarven builders die you cant build any new ones.
