I've got Martin's WOW theme (which looks great, despite me not being a WOW player).  Now I'm looking to make some other additions and changes to things to stick with the running theme of my site.  

More smileys - Fantasy/Medieval smileys would be outstanding.  Anyone can point me where to find a good set?  I'm sure I can find them eventually, but if someone already has something, I'd appreciate the help.

Message Icons - When you're posting, you can choose a Message Icon.  Again, I'd like to add some to this list, but I haven't figured out where to add them, how to add them, or if there are any restrictions on what can be added.  I'll also be looking for suitable fantasy/medieval styled icons for this as well.

Group Icons - I changed the default 4 groups (based on # of posts) to a more gaming/fantasy feel, and I'd like to change the icons that get displayed with these as well.  I loaded up a bunch of small .gifs that I found on the internet, but they don't seem to work.  Are there restrictions on these that I should know about?  Is there a trick to adding them into the system to be used?  

Thanks for any help.

PS - I'm also looking for someone who's good at digital art.  I'm rebuilding my website, and I need some small pics/images made to spruce the place up.  I can't afford a lot, but I am willing to pay.

More smileys

Just Google say "clip art" or "smilies" you will find plenty of sites..

Message Icons - Have a look at your admin Center, then go to Message Icons, you can also add icons just for certain groups.

Group Icons, again from your member Center go to the members group, and choose from there, be sure to FTP up the new ones that you want to use.

I have found the following sites useful for this kinda stuff.

this is just some of many many site that offer free buttons,smiles,icons,avatars,schemes and much much more.

Is there some limitation on these images?  I've added a bunch, but they don't seem to want to display.  This goes for both group icons and message icons.  Is there a special format for them?  Are .gifs okay?  

I got some new smileys to work (and I greatly appreciate the heads up on more).

Make sure you upload them in Binary mode.
