I tried to create some Box Art icons, ages ago. But i've probably done something wrong. Maybe you are patient enough.
Quote:
Software used to create Exoticons:

ImageMagick - Excellent open source image manipulation program, that
I used for the scaling and colour reduction.
Image2Icon - Great program from Stephan Rupprecht that was used for the
actual icon creation from the scaled scans.
Perl - For the image conversion scripting.

TVPaint, PPaint, Photogenics and IconEdit were also used for much of the
graphic work.


Each icon is 128 colours and has its own palette meaning they will probably
not look good if you don't have many free pens (aga) or are viewing many
on screen at the same time. The OS3.5/3.9 icons are 128x128 pixels in size.
If you are using Scalos with the latest beta Icon System and a graphics card,
you can enjoy the collection even more, as it does not suffer from sharing pens
between icons.
