Beehive graphic

[Kes]

Does anyone know of a graphic which could pass for a beehive?  If such a thing for Ace does not exist, does one exist for XP which I could edit for use in Ace?


Thanks

Do you have a specific shape and size in mind?

 

[Haydeos]

for round, hanging beehives I'd say edit the ceramic jug.


For boxed man-made beehives I'd say edit the crates.

 

[Kes]

@KanaX Either the traditional slightly rounded version, or the boxed version that one often sees in orchards.  Either would do.


@Haydeos True, I could, but I was rather hoping that something a bit better looking might already exist.

Pandamaru has one hanging on a tree.

It's true, pandamaru has one somewhere. In case this one won't do, give me a reference photo and I'll try to work on it.

@whtdragon has some beehive sprites. It is located in the Very Small Animals section

I would prefer one that wasn't hanging from a tree, because ideally it should look like it belongs to someone.  A suitably 'rustic' version would be something like this.

Thanks.


@Ice Bear They are sweet, but they are also tiny.  I need something bigger than that which can realistically have swarms of bees buzzing around it.


But thank you for the suggestion.

Sorry for the wait. Wasn't sure about the size so I made the hive itself to fir in a 32X32 cell. If you want me to make it bigger, (or do anything else) let me know.

 

[Kes]

That is excellent!  Would it be possible for it to be a bit bigger?  If not, don't worry about it, you have already done a lot, for which I am most grateful.

 

[KanaX]

I can make it a bit bigger.
I have one concern though. If you want me to keep the analogies as as they are, the width will have to surpass 32 pixels. The current hive should be at 28 pixels, allowing a mere 4 pixels of expansion. Should I raise it to 32 and then expand the height alone?

 

[Kes]

If the stand stays the same, the beehive itself could be a bit higher.  I don't mind if it goes onto a second tile.  

 

[KanaX]

Still got the project open. If you want any changes done, let me know.

 

[Kes]

You're a star!  Thanks so much, this is just right.
