Dusk Card Frames
================

11 pixel art card, currency and notification components for dark interfaces —
night-violet with amber accents. SVG plus transparent PNG at 1x, 2x and 4x.

Dusk Card Frames is a set of 11 card, currency and notification components
drawn in the pixel art style, where every corner is a staircase of whole
pixels and nothing is anti-aliased. It contains four rarity card frames, three
currency counters, a notification badge and three toast banners.

Rarity is almost always encoded as a border colour, which fails twice: it
disappears in greyscale, and it competes with the item art, which is itself
coloured. This set encodes rarity as structure instead.

The outline steps in 4px units and shading is a Bayer dither rather than a
gradient, so the set survives being scaled by an integer factor — which is the
only way pixel art can be scaled without turning to mush.

Inside that style this is the Dusk reading of it: a dark interface on a
night-violet palette with amber accents, built around a header band across the
top of the frame, square-cornered buttons at 96x32, tick-marked bars divided
into 6 segments, and solid icons on a 16px 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.

Each tier adds a countable feature — common has none, rare adds two corner
brackets, epic adds an inner rule and four brackets, legendary adds a crown
band. You can tell them apart at thumbnail size, in a screenshot, and with the
colour removed. The toast banners keep colour to a 6px edge stripe so the
message text sits at the same contrast in all three tones.

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 Dusk family, which
means this kit and the Dusk panel kit line up without either being resized. A
good fit for pixel-art games.

HOW TO USE

  - Nine-slice the card frames on their flat edges only; the corner brackets
    and the crown band must stay in the fixed corners or the rarity signal
    stretches.
  - Put the item icon in the recessed art area and the name on the two label
    bars below it — the frame is sized for a 1:1 icon.
  - Use the badge as an overlay anchored to the top-right of an inventory or
    menu button, and draw the count with your own font.
