The icons provided in the Graphics Pack are designed to give a clear representation of each image. This makes it easy to identify the icons, but does leave them looking a bit too uniform and standardised.

It's very easy to style sets of the images using Photoshop filters in Photoshop, GIMP and a variety of other painting software. Just load a PDF version of the images and apply a filter. Alternatively, save a PNG file out of Inkscape, CorelDraw or Illustrator and style completed designs at a single click.

There's an almost endless range of filtering options to choose from. However, in most cases players are looking to distress the images and apply more varied lines weights. There are more than enough filters capable of adding such effects, but it takes a certain amount of experimentation to apply the filters without blurring the gaps between lines. Using subtle effects and/ or large versions of the images allows filters to be applied to complete PDF sets

The following filter settings provide very quick ways of varying and distressing Treasure's images, without going too far. All painting software is not equal, but there are plenty of filter effects available for free on the Net. Links to a few good options appear at the bottom of the page, but there are lots more.
