This is an item circle I made for my game, but am not completely happy with it. It was based on early screens of SS. Any advice for making it better/ edits would be appreciated. I'd also like to have ornamental vines wrapping around it, but I cant sprite vines for my life :x Any help would be welcomed. Thanks~

I'm having trouble seeing how this might be used in terms of a game. Any chance of a quick mock-up so I can understand it a little better?

I think it might be used kind of like in Link to the Past when choosing an item. It's the cursor that would surround the item that the user is choosing. Am I wrong?

In terms of how it looks, I think a mockup would certainly help. It's hard to see against a white background if anything is off. My guess, however, would be that there are some jagged-looking lines in the inner border of the circle.

Oh! That looks really good actually. I think maybe to improve, try adding some sort of faint outline to the inner circle. Or not. I don't know, it looks really good. I find no outline makes it stand out, which is good for user interaction purposes.

Perhaps this wouldn't fit the style too well, but the thought just occurred to me that it would look cool if a sheen was added to make it look like the item was behind glass inside of your item circle...  Just a thought.

Am I right in thinking that I can see the gras behind the boomerang, inside the circle. If so, I would suggest to fill the circle either with a semi transparant or opague dark color.

I agree, there needs to be something else in the middle.
