You should be able to change the material of most objects. For example a sword could be worn out, wooden, metal, or gold and shiny.
THis is actually already part of the setup... most things change between just colors and whether or not there is blood on them... rust and abttle-damage type graphics are definitely a good idea though...
Items like boxing gloves should have options to include barbed wire, spikes, razor wire, or nails coming out of it.
Actually, my thought on this is to simply include things like the nails and spikes, etc. as separate graphical pieces that can be used at will on almost any of the other graphics. Since each can be rotated and sized to taste, they would all be really versatile pieces.
Maybe make a colorwheel of sorts where people can not only choose the colors of gloves but also custom color the backgrounds to any color they choose.
That one would be tough, and I am really doing this as a "version 1" or such, just because I know there is currently nothing like this.
All items should be able to be saved as images to the desktop or something so people can use them in sigs and for whatever else they might want.
This would also be tough... not even sure it is possible, but I'll look into it. I know Flash is getting more and more into the file-system stuff, just not sure whether an SWF loaded to NG would have permissions to do something like write a file to the desktop... let alone whether or not you can even generate stand-alone image format "files" from within Flash. I'll definitely include a "preview" button, however, that sizes the graphic you have created according to the 100 X 100 standard icon size, with instructions on how to screen-capture it.

Smokin', did you see my umbrella I made in your previous thread two or so days ago? I'll send you that and make one or two more if you want? Just tell me what weapons, etc.
I definitely did... and it would be a welcome addition! Also I really wasn't thinking of items in particular for people to create, just simply whatever they wanted. But if you want an ad-hoc list:
nails/spikes/thorns - some cut-off like they're jutting out, others full-size
Sword handles - like leather-wrapped, metallic, designed
Sword hilts/hand-guards - also various materials and designs
Gnarled wooden staff
crystals (for decoration, or to be jutting out of a staff)
Jewels of various color, shape and cut
knife-blades
rocks
ideas for other "paint" options - like I listed electric bolt/static, ivy/vines, basically almost anything that could be drawn as a series of images lined in a row or slightly randomly placed/generated along the track made by the mouse
tools
toys - like rubber chicken, yo-yo, skateboard, toy soldiers... really anything
Anything you'd like to see or you think someone else would like to see that I didn't already mention...
