Phoenix Trial #2 - Power of Command

[Dalaran_Guard]

low kwaliti, it's looking good. Is there any way you could post a larger pic so that we can examine it more closely?

 

[Kwaliti]

Just 1 f*cking more, Hold Position

EDIT: one 512x512 coming up!

 

[Dalaran_Guard]

I like it. Did you do the texturing on the boots freehand, or did you use a filter of some sort?

 

[Kwaliti]

Freehand, took me a quite while to learn it. Is it good?

 

[Pyritie]

New icon. Try and guess what it is, and then press the button below to see if you're correct.

Click here after you've guessed

Move!

Up next: Skilz! It's a lotus/lily pad with sparklies coming out! Yay!

 

[UchihaSasuke.gr]

I have 2-3 icons to finish all of them...But...few are good enough.That's my first icons ever created(the others were recolour of Blizzard's icons).So they are not good.Anyway it's fun creating icons!

 

[Kwaliti]

Hmm, Pyritie, nice icon! I think there's gonna be a dead-even between us, if not, maybe you'll take the crown

 

[Pyritie]

I've got a UI competition planned for after this one... see the contest submission forum for details

 

[UchihaSasuke.gr]

low_kwaliti has my vote unless i see something better

 

[Kwaliti]

thx man, if I could give rep, i'd give it to ya and Pyritie

 

[Kwaliti]

I've got a UI competition planned for after this one... see the contest submission forum for details

Hmmm, gonna try that one too, going for the same Conqueror theme!

 

[Pyritie]

Well l0w_kwaliti has shown 7 icons, whereas you've only seen 3 of mine!

EDIT!: New icon. Drool over it. Gaze at it. Love it.

Behold, the skills icon!

 

[Wolverabid]

Zowie Pyritie: that looks fantastic!

Pink however is not (in my opinion) a color that exudes much power.

The sparkles are very powerful but are maybe just a smidgen overcooked: I would consider powering them down about 10-20%.

 

[Pyritie]

I already powered them down a lot from before. I'll take a look later. Maybe I'll add some sepals later. I used this picture for inspiration. And most lotuses (loti? ) are either white or pink.

EDIT:

Fine. Even less sparklies then.

 

[RED BARON]

Hmm I am not very good a photoshop, but just for fun I want to try making those icons. So I am in, just dont know if I finish them all. (Attachment doesnt work for me)
Here is what I got so far, hands based theme:
Attack

HoldPosition (I thought)

Move

Stop

That what I got so far.
Edit: Hmm move seize changed.. weird. Fixing tomorrow

 

[Pyritie]

The Attack looks very wonky. The hold position has 11 fingers. The move has too long of a finger compared to the rest of the hand.

Darn it, another competitor! ^_^

 

[UchihaSasuke.gr]

My icons don't have the same themeIf it's about the theme then i have lost already

 

[Pyritie]

Well they should look good together at least.

 

[Gauntlet2021]

Ive got an Attack, Stop, Skilz and Patrol so far...but I'll probably redo or edit them (Resize is a b*tch).

 

[RED BARON]

The Attack looks very wonky. The hold position has 11 fingers. The move has too long of a finger compared to the rest of the hand.

Yes I probably remake it totaly, wasnt satisfied with it myself, didnt look much as a blade.
HoldPosition..hmmm the 11 fingers is on purpose, but will maybe change it a little, maybe not. Move, I am going to change sieze of it, and improve it, it hasnt the "real" pointing hand look.
Thx for comment : )

Darn it, another competitor! ^_^

Hehe, but not a dangerous one.

Two other questions:
What program should I use to convert my jpg into blp? And when I cant use attachment for somereson is it then okay to use other hosting sites?

 

[Pyritie]

I guess it's okay to use other sites.

Just save the file as a TGA and then use Wc3Viewer to convert it to a BLP.

 

[Kwaliti]

Wow...... for the first time in my life, I have nothing to say..... except I CAN'T THINK OF ANYTHING FOR THE STUPID HOLD POSITION EXCEPT MY OLD SHIELDS AND SWORDS (which you can find in some of my previous posts)! Ok, that's all. BTW, nice icons everyone! And, Pyritie, what happened to the Bird pooping people?

 

[Kwaliti]

I've grown tired of thinking a new Hold Position icon, so i did this: The icon below is a NEW stop icon, and I'll recycle the old one as Hold Position. I'll post a pic with all current Icons later.

EDIT: Here, all icons, the order is:

Attack;Attack Ground;Cancel;Hold Position
Move;Patrol;Skills;Stop

Hope you like 'em

 

[RED BARON]

Okay..Update. After Pyritie said the attack was wonky (which I agree with, it turned out horrieble)
So remade it totaly and skipped the bladehand idea, didnt work at all. Made a fist insted, only concern is, if it doesnt mach the others, because I spent much more time on "real" look of it, and it has more shadows then the rest.
But here are all except patrol and skill (got idea for both):
Attack Ground (turned out fine):

Attack (The best i think, but maybe too good):

Move (Changed finger lenght, but still not totaly satisfied, somethings odd):

Cancel (made after I made attack, they mach better, maybe red should be changed):

Hold Position (The idea was a many fingered hand, which had a grip of the ground, it just did turn out looking funny, maybe I change, maybe not, improves?):

Stop (good enough I think):

The last two posible postet tomorrow

 

[Katu]

I like your Stop REdBaron.

Anyway, I think that the Attack Ground is... a little bit lower in quality than the others.

Maybe you should mirror the Attack button horizontally and edit it a little bit.

 

[Kwaliti]

Nice icons, does anyone like my icons?

 

[Pyritie]

Yes l0w_kwaliti, yours are looking very good!

Baron, you're going to add more texture and shading to all of them... right? I certainly hope you do. They look bad right now. But that attack one definately shows some good potential. But the hold ground... Bleh. It just looks too confusing.

 

[Kwaliti]

Hmmm, gonna do some tweaks if needed and post an entry

 

[RED BARON]

But the hold ground... Bleh. It just looks too confusing.

Any ideas? Except less fingers hehe

Anyway, I think that the Attack Ground is... a little bit lower in quality than the others.

What could improve it?

 

[Kwaliti]

Ok, this is my entry,

The theme is called "The Conqueror"

Below you can find the .blp's and 4 screenshots, 2 for cancel, and 2 for other buttons (each active and disabled)

 

[RedBlade]

How do you put em in the WE ? (i know how to import them) but which are the paths to do so ? (if u got any links to tutorials ill be thankful)

EDIT

l0w_Kwaliti , your icons are really very good !
Pyritie ... the above

 

[fragilous]

I really like l0w_kwaliti's icons............ wait is this were they submit their icons??? hmp[h....... isnt it that we should vote? cos im voting for l0w_kwaliti

 

[RED BARON]

Okay here is mine, If I doesnt say something against this later on, this is my entry:
First some ingame screenshots:




Icons:

Now the problem, I cant use attach, how to upload the icons then?
Hmm and isnt satisfied with patrol, but cant draw those damn small pointing hands, so this is best for now, maybe I change later.
Btw: The DISBTNS will be without border, when upload, just doesnt want to change screenshots, (Thanks Pyritie for notice)

 

[Dalaran_Guard]

Theme is magic/spell, and here's BTNStop. I probably won't have time to finish the competition, but I figure I might as well throw some stuff out there and work on a couple as practice...

Just on a side note, the fire was based on a pic that I found at accad.osu.edu

EDIT: Added in a second icon. Not sure what to use it for yet; though I had originally planned on it being patrol, I'm kinda thinking skills now. Anyway, my poor attempt at creating hands...

 

[Pyritie]

The skills one looks very good. The stop one just looks like a big blue though.

Baron, just use a file-uploading site and put them there. I suggest putting them into a big zip folder. Also, your icons look incredibly unfinished. PLEASE add some decent shading to them. And your DISBTNS are incorrect. They are supposed to be a darkened version of the BTN, but without the border.

And you don't have to overwrite the paths of the icons, just import them how you will and just go under Gameplay Interface. It's all in there.

And this is where we post finished products or works in progress (WIPs). I'm not finished with mine yet.

 

[RED BARON]

And you don't have to overwrite the paths of the icons, just import them how you will and just go under Gameplay Interface. It's all in there.

Yes I thought of it after I wrote the below, but didnt change the post....

 

[Dalaran_Guard]

Three new ones: Move, Stop, and Hold Position. Redid the fire one, basing it off of a more realistic pic of fire. In move and stop, the boot was originally based off of the WoW Arcanist boot, which I found at www.wowwiki.com. Anyway...

 

[Pyritie]

The boot looks very good actually.

 

[Kwaliti]

Nice!

 

[Pyritie]

New icon! Guess what it is then click [broke="Attack Ground"]here[/broke].

5/8 done, up next either attack or hold position. Or maybe Cancel. Ah well I'll decide later.

 

[RED BARON]

I personaly think that falling tree got some attackish looking attitude.

 

[Pyritie]

The attack icon is a venus flytrap ^_^

 

[WILL THE ALMIGHTY]

Attack Ground Preview.

 

[RED BARON]

The attack icon is a venus flytrap ^_^

Ahh nice.

Edit: Removed a stupid comment.
And then I see why it has attackish look, when it is attack ground.. but still wonder what the lotus thing is used as..

 

[Pyritie]

No, this one is attack ground.

 

[RED BARON]

DAmn stupid of me. Wonder what post I read, surely not yours

 

[Deleted member 126647]

Looking cool WILL.

 

[Kwaliti]

I think baron is right, use it as Attack and for attack ground, make a bird pooping people xD

 

[Pyritie]

No, I use flytrap as attack. The tree is falling on the ground. And a bird pooping is just too silly.

 

[Katu]

I just viewed the first post, and concluded that the deadline is still far, so I may... re-enter?

Just one question: why does an icon needs an alpha channel?
