Replace Generic Runes

[dolphin]

Currently, many runes use the generic "rune" tile, and one of the requests for 0.9 is to get unique tiles for all of these runes. I dunno if there is time, but it would be pretty cool to have good tiles for all the runes. Here's the Tiles Creation Guide and Paint.net to get you started. (Edit: Here's a pdf of Runes.)

• decaying - Swamp
• barnacled - Shoals
• silver - Vaults
• golden - Tomb
• slimy - Slime
• demonic (console has random appearance) - Pandemonium
• abyssal - Duh

I've started on the golden rune, but if you feel that improving the Golden Rune is your calling, feel free to make your own.

Regarding my two tiles, please tell me what you like about them, what you dislike about them, what confuses you about them, what you think needs improving, what you might like about the tile if it weren't for this other thing, etc. In both cases, their rune is supposed to look like an Ankh.

Ontoclasm submitted a bunch of (awesome) rune tiles on Mantis! Check them out!

dolphin, this is thinking ahead a bit, but I can imagine the golden head used as a future misc item tile. Can you edit the ankh symbol out and submit it on Mantis (or just attach it here)? I'll put it in the UNUSED folder.
