Reliquary HUD Frames

Reliquary HUD Frames is a set of 10 heads-up display frames drawn in the stylised style, where the frame is carved, with finials pushing out past the corners and a gem set into each one. It contains a minimap frame with a north marker, a character portrait frame, a compass strip, three crosshair reticles, an objective waypoint marker and a quest tracker plate.

These are the pieces that stay on screen the whole time a game is being played, which makes them the hardest to get right: every one of them has to be readable over arbitrary game art without covering the middle of the screen.

The ornament is part of the silhouette rather than drawn on top of it, so the frame is recognisable at thumbnail size. The face carries a three-stop vertical gradient — the closest a flat kit gets to a painted bevel.

Inside that style this is the Reliquary reading of it: a dark interface on a deep indigo palette with pale silver accents, built around a header band across the top of the frame, chamfered buttons at 128x56, hollow-cored bars divided into 12 segments, and two-tone icons on a 24px grid. Those measurements are why two families can share an art style without being interchangeable: the style decides how an edge is drawn, the numbers decide what the interface is for.

The quest plate marks a completed objective with a filled box and a struck-through line rather than by dimming it, so the tracker stays legible against a bright sky. The compass ticks alternate major and minor so a heading can be read at a glance rather than counted.

Every sprite ships as an editable SVG and as transparent PNG at 1x, 2x and 4x, so you can drop the PNGs straight into an engine or open the vector and change a colour. Built to the same measurements as the rest of the Reliquary family, which means this kit and the Reliquary panel kit line up without either being resized. A good fit for fantasy and RPG interfaces.
