Recently, I finished an icon for the client.. or rather, an icon for the alias of the client, since I can't seem to change the client's icon.  It has gone through a few different versions as I taught myself how to do it.

To my work flow, and development pipeline, I first went into minecraft and looked straight down at a cobblestone block.  I took a screen shot, and took this screen shot into GIMP, where I removed the cross-hair in the center.  From there, I duplicated the square into the shape of Minecraft's M, displayed on the site's home page, with the exact number of blocks.  The result was a flat M with a clear background.  I didn't like that very much, so I then took the texture into Maya, applied it to a single cube, duplicated that cube as necessary, and then rendered the result.  I took that result back into GIMP and basically did the same as the first; several different layers of the sizes 256x256, 128x128, 48x48, 32x32, and 16x16.  This of course means that the icon will appear the correct size for all window views.

I'm sorry if this is the wrong place to post this, but I didn't exactly know where I could.  A screenshot will be attached.  If there is any amount of demand, I'll post the icon file, otherwise there is no real point in bothering to upload it.
