I'm definitely open to suggestions (and as it turns out, I need them as I'm not up on how to prevent tampering with software). It's ironic that we find ourselves in a similar boat as SOE but I suppose it's inevitable.
As a side note, I'm just about at the point where I have a basic set of item icons that's barely enough to field a playable game. I make them by building crude models in Anim8or and rendering them--some look pretty similar to live icons and some don't look anything like them (and there's a vast continuum in between). I'm prepared to make my Anim8or files available for people to make more, but I've decided that my time is better spent doing something other than building a set of 1200-1500 icons. I've made around 260 so far, though I have greater variation in some areas than the live set and so the overlap isn't that high. Like I said, it's barely enough, and we can add more over time.
