Art Library
SignLink comes with ready-made art under Art on 2 Content: pick a piece, press Update content at the bottom of 3 Place, and it is on the sign. Every player sees it, with or without the mod. Animated pieces go on moving (switch Moving off for a still) and move for SignLink players, and everyone else sees their first frame, so that frame is always a good picture on its own.
The pictures below are rendered from the exact sign texts the mod ships, outside the game.
The art library is licensed CC BY 4.0 (LICENSE-ART): use the pieces on your signs, and share screenshots and videos of them, with no credit needed; credit SignLink when you share the pieces themselves.
- Pixel art is drawn at one scale, the cat's (5.6 cm a pixel), so the animals stand side by side at their true sizes. Almost all of it moves.
- Glyph art is drawn with the game's own runes and symbols. A piece is a few kilobytes on one sign and the copies stacked on it.
- Kitchen icons are one-metre labels for chests.
195 pieces join the classics (the dragon ship in glyph art and in pixel art, Eikthyr, Huginn and Muninn, Jormungandr, Mjolnir, the dragon crest, the midnight light and the moon halo); the cat leads the cat's family and the fjord at dusk the scenes. Every piece is at most 80 KB, so it fits a server's limits.

Each theme is one file in signart/concepts/lib_*.py, built on signart/artlib.py:
./sign.sh py art_preview.py concepts.lib_pets # PNG, GIF and a frame strip of every piece, for review
./sign.sh py art_showcase.py out/showcase concepts.lib_pets # the animated sheet above
./sign.sh art # everything into mod/SignLink/Art (embedded in the DLL)
