----------
i´d realy like to give you a neg rep, but there are several reasons i wont do:
1. you seem to be no bad artist
2. after asking u gave constructive critique
3. i wont fight fire with fire
4. i dont know how 2 do to that
5. Negrep is disabled for normal users
and at last a lil tip: noone got realy big by imitating some1 or imitating his style. so there is no point in making stuff that looks like blizz made it.
and @ last... ur frostbreathe looks like the standart frostbreath with some photoshop filter attached...

Fix'd.
Anyways, I completely disagree with your comment on imitation. Most artists practice by looking at the work of other, better artists. It allows them to get on the right track, and once you know the standard techniques, then you can deviate from them.
Furthermore icons are not just art. Icons are resources, and if you're going to make a resource for WC3, you'd better make sure it fits with the others already in WC3.
