Overview

Load up a source image, enter the desired longer side of the icon to be generated (in pixels), and render the icon.

The workflow will automatically remove the background from the image, crop and resize it, and create an icon in the DK2 color scheme.

After reviewing and tweaking the result, the workflow can save a batch of images to your ComfyUI output folder, currently those are:

Filename	Notes
prefix_00-source.png	the source image as reference
prefix_01-body.png	the dark brown background
prefix_02-lineart.png	the fine line art inside of the icon
prefix_03-outline.png	the thick outline around the icon
prefix_04-icon.png	all layers combined into one image

All images will be properly alpha-masked and resized, and can be opened as layers in GIMP or Photoshop for manual fine-tuning.

Check the example output folder in the GitHub repo[github.com] to see what these layers will look like.

Hey @Takeshi, thanks for letting me know. I must have skipped those when doing the write-up.

Updated the README on GitHub, hope this is all of them now!

Hi, I tried this with the minimum custom nodes, but these 3 below would be needed.
"ComfyMath" node for "CM_IntBinaryOperation" function.
"Image Resize for ComfyUI" for "ImageResize"
"Comfyroll Studio" for "CR Text Operation" and "CR Text Replace"
