Any tips on making map Piece icons?

[Madison Lastrega]

the way I make Icons is based on the particular piece I am working on.... I found it easiest to just open any existing icon and edit it and resave a different file name :) ‎  like for my earthworth sets... I make them with the same texture samples as the piece for walls and corners I use a black line so when buiding its easy to layout... and for 1x3 or 3x3 I use solid colors and usualy a marking to show its size.... Boy how I love regualr "Paint"

so my pieces are sorta custom with the set...... I would like to release a complete SQS ULTRA edition of SoM once I am done with all my map parts... then my icons will make sence I hope .... bvut making universal icons is hard because every artist is differnt .........ML
