Some sample tokens:

And now the overlays!

Very glowy

I like the bottom two overlays the best.

I think most of them kind of overshadow the image within. Too thick, in otherwords. The concept is fine though.

They don't do much for me, brisingre - sorry, but you wanted feedback.

I think the reason is that most of the colored edges are too large and leave the middle image too small. When the tokens are looked at zoomed out, the pictures will be too small to see.

Perhaps you keep the same theory but make the edges smaller like the last two. I agree with Trevor, those last two are the better of the bunch.

I give you two thumbs up though for uploading and posting your art; thank you for giving back to the community!

yeah, they do overshado the image. I will try to make some 'thinner' versions. I liked the bottom 2 best as well, but they have white spots. Thanx for the feedback!!

Fortunately the white spots are not the fault of the overlay, but the underlying algorithm to remove magenta. It's on my plate for attention this weekend.

Oh goody. I have made some thinner ones, I iwll post them soon.

these are a bit better. One seems identical. I don't know what I was thinking. ONe of these is a lot thinner, though.

I dunno why the transparency broke here. THis is the only decent one in the lot, so I dunno why it is like this.

For me, they would be a lot better if they didn't have the outer transparent area. Lose the outer transparent area and grow the tokens out some. The overlays should present and emphasize the content which is in the center.

The 1st is very close to being usable form me. Grow the outside of the ring out to the edge of the token and it would be fine.

that will be a simple matter of messing with the gradient. I will get on it.
