http//www.chessvariants.com/cgi-bin/fen2.php is the SVG rendering engine used by the 'Diagram Editor with Scalable Graphics', where you can request PNG images of individual pieces that exist in SVG sets on this website, of arbitrary size and color (on transparent background), or entire board diagrams of positions containing such pieces.
E.g. http://www.chessvariants.com/cgi-bin/fen2.php?s=200&w=00ff00&p=wbadger shows
if you want to extend the list a little, here are some pieces that could be added:
Vice general or flying bishop/saint
The chinesepawn in alfaeriePNG appears to be missing part of its outline
If I make some svg pieces would it be possible to get them added to this set?
In principle, yes. If these are not too different in style.
I have some that I think are ok, but one thing I want is ski pieces and I haven't thought of a really satisfactory way to do those
Maybe this can help inspire you:
I'm trying to avoid skis so I can also include ski-ski-pieces. Currently my best idea is two circles, one black and the other empty.
Another thing I'm trying to think of is how to represent visually KSNTCZ

"Ski-ski"?

It'd depend somewhat on what the piece is called.
Ski-ski such as [H?fR]

That's not clear either
Ski-ski such as [H?fR]
I think there's another term for that, though I can't for the life of me remember what it is.
If I'm wrong, then a ski-ski would be (to my mind) relatively simple: put the piece on one ski for a regular ski, and on two skis for a ski-ski.
I've got some I think are mostly good enough. How should I send them?
It would be nice to have a good Buffalo, but I haven't managed to draw it decently.
I have 46 pieces I'd like to have considered for this set

A collection that big practically calls for its own page!
I don't know if this will help, but I'd recommend using something between these two as a good starting point:
Most of them are just conversions of older alfaerie images and small modifications
Do you think this svg could be added to the other beast section of alfaerieSVG?
The inside part should be colored #f9f9f9. Using the background color for inside the piece makes it transparent and impossible to recolor properly.
I modified it :
could these be of interest too?
@Daniel: your page is only visible by editors
try now
@Daniel: thanks. They are well done and they fit with the set. I hope editors will add them.

To HG: Great!
I didn't know for the black piece. I will have a look at some of them to see how they are made.
I feel shamy to ask, but I don't understand what fen2.php means. You told me about it in a former answer too. Is it explainable in few words? I need the book "chessvariants pages for the dummies".
I will also contact you by e-mail about 3D pieces, Jocly and Blender. I like the ones you have posted today.
Thanks.
