Runes:
This is the whole runic alphabet sculpted in stone.The quallity is not so high...
The highlights and shades are almost invisible...
They are not in the runic alphabet order...sorryHow did I do them:
Step-by-step:
  1. Took the "Pebble" icon from war3.mpq
  2. Extracted the icon
  3. Opened the icon on Paint.NET
  4. Removed the mark
  5. Replaced the empty space with more stone
  6. Took the stone from inside the icon's borders
  7. Cutted it
  8. Pasted it in a new layer
  9. Rotated the new layer 45 degrees
  10. Went back the the original layer, filled the space between the borders with black
  11. Mixed the two layers
  12. Added one new layer for the rune
  13. Painted the rune
  14. Added one new layer for highlights and shades
  15. Painted the highlights and shades in the new layer
  16. Saved as .jpg
  17. Opened the Button Manager
  18. With the icon wizard, I transformed the .jpg's in .blp for Button, Passive, DisabledPassive and Disabled
About:

Well, I hope you liked them.
I would like to know what do you think about my icons.

STARwars55, thank you.

bananaHUNT, I know what you mean. I have tried to make them look normal, but I've failed... I tried to make them smaller...but they looked weird. Maybe I will learn how to make them look good...one day...

And yes, they are useful for almost everything. This is the runic alphabet. It could be used as a quest item... As charms or runes in campaigns... As spell runes in spell maps... As runes on MY maps! At the begining, I made them for my map. If I get more positive comments I may upload them.

I started working on some gems. Maybe I will finish them until Tuesday. I will follow a tutorial...again.

I know... They were a stupid try of mine...
But please, tell me your opinion about the potions!

Oh, and the background isn't supposed to be fire, it's supposed to be blood.
But, oh, nevermind...
I painted them in my favorite style, the Anime/Manga style.
I really like them, more than the armor or the runes! :D

Edit: Oh, I forgot to upload yesterday the Fairy Fire icon...
Still without borders!

Wrong forum, this belongs to the skinning and texture forum.

I don't like to critize people(?) but man, the runes look like they got typed on the stones.
You should try making the runes look as if they've gotten carved into the stone or written in blood, it makes more sense and it makes em look more sexy and interesting.

The problem with the potions is that they dont look realistic, and you shouldnt use any background on them (just keep em black) or else they will look like an upgrade or a permanent type of item. Also try keep a space between the liquid and the glass outline to make it look realistic.

Like this...

That thing with the potions is true...maybe it looks sexyer but NOT REALISTIC.
Take an empty glass and fill it with juice(Colored juice, like yellow, black... But NOT transparent!). Take a look, you won't notice the edges of the glass.
It's an optical phenomenon.


Oh, and I am preparing the next wave of icons.
They will be pills! :D



Edit: I have added the pills and ALSO, take a look at these!

What nudl ment was that medieval potions have very thick glass right ... so the stuff inside would be blocked by the more inside glass.
Take a look at some other wc3 potions to see how they're shaded (it helped me a lot => look at the current icon contest to see what I mean)

Okay, I don't want them to fit the Wc3 Icon style.

As for the background issues...
I added glow to the potions and the background is black.
As for the poor quallity colours, blame the Joint Photographic Experts Group and their file extensions, the most common format for storing and transmitting photographic images on the World Wide Web...

And I am developing some borders and other kinds of images to show here.
