zombie2279: Now, the fire's shape is that really bugs me. The fire's look is not in any way realistic.

10th June: Rejected until updated.

9:36, 29th Jun 2009: Hardly any changes made, to tell the truth. The general flame effect is still really unrealistic and the background is lacking.

Most smudge I've ever used

nerovesper · May 26, 2009

maybe add some orange color on the middle. its so red that i don't feel its heat. xD
I see a red painting on the wall.

EDIT: wait, checking in-game...

aaron · May 27, 2009

this is cool

i rate this a 4/5 because it only uses smudge.

Thorneon · May 27, 2009

its very blurry and the wood is blending into the fire a bit too much

Zombie · May 27, 2009

A7xpwns3, why the hell are you returning to filter usage?

terradont · May 27, 2009

It's very hard to make out, and no depth.

Fire and Ice · May 27, 2009

Lighten the core of the flames, darken the black parts of the wood and it would be prfect; besides, most of Blizzard's icons don't really have that much depth either.

terradont · May 27, 2009

No they often don't, but they do have more than this. It looks kinda like a cave-painting(no offence).

Fire and Ice · May 27, 2009

Well at least it's usable-grade. It ain't that bad anyway.

Tank-Commander · May 27, 2009

would fit well in a game like itt gj rly fits it's purpose :grin:

Dear god...
How many times do I have to fucking say this.
I could remake this and produce 30 WIP's.
I don't use filters (other than sharpen)
What will it take to build my reputation in icon making to that so I can be trusted?!

Fire and Ice · May 28, 2009

Hey hey, cool it and relax a little. No need to start with the vulgarities here alright?

Zombie · May 28, 2009

Smudging is considered filtering in better places, but let's leave it to that.

wow if your just doing this for reputation then stop. you dont do it for reputation. rep is just a bonus that comes along if somone likes your icons. honestly though i am not likeing your icons. they are very low quality and you cant tell what is going on in every sigle one of them and they look like they are made with the paint program most of the time. either improve drasicly on your skills (using filters is not the best idea) or try somthing else.

and dont get mad when someone dosn't like them cuz it kinda hard not to like them when they are this low quality

Did I ever say anything about rep?
Seriously, I wish I could punch you in the face over the computer.
You talk like one of the middle schoolers on my bus (High school + Middle go along on the same one)

Now I can see where you're coming from. I really can. But seriously, must I save an infitesimately large amount of work in progress photos to prove my point? Because I will.

I could also say way more about the rep part, but I'll leave the uncivilised matters to myself.

Dentothor · May 28, 2009

it is not the proof that you made it that concerns us so cut the crap and stop flaming. it is the fact that it is very low quality work and no one is going to like low quality icons.

a7xpwns3 · May 28, 2009

Once again, did I ever flame?

Yes. and fix the borders on V3

I meant real life reputation, you... Hivefreak C:

Anyways, improved the overall quality - Tweaked it, added more colors, did a bit of detailing.

Dentothor · May 29, 2009

still looks too blurry next to the backround

terradont · May 29, 2009

There's more definition now, i can see what it is by the first glance. That's a really good improvement. Though i still think you should add more depth to the background, or keep it simple black.

And as denothor said, the borders are odd. On the left side there are some strange "boxes" right next to it, and i think i saw some part of the icon smudged over the lower part of the border.

Keep up the good work and this icon will look really good.

Fire and Ice · May 29, 2009

Darken the core of the wood more, either that or fill the whole thing up with black. You can leave the edges of the wood as red as they are now, but the centre (of the wood) should be almost completely black. The fire's improved a lot, so all thats left now is to darken the backgound a little and this gets 5/5 from me :cgrin:

Dentothor · May 29, 2009

i think a bit of highlights around the fire would really make it stand out a bit more.

Fire and Ice · May 29, 2009

Alright i get it. Sorry.

Dentothor · May 29, 2009

im not trying to be mean but i have tested that out already F+I and i have come up with many icons and have plenty of experience in this so dont critisize my critsism please and thank you

a7xpwns3 · May 29, 2009

Democrats, Republicans, chill, dawgzz.

Anyways, both sides have equally good points.
I'll try both and see which one turns out best

Fire and Ice · May 30, 2009

I'm not. And its spelt 'criticism'. And since you put it that way I'll delete that post.

Fire and Ice said:

And besides I apologised.

a7xpwns3 · May 30, 2009

Now I don't know what Ice and Fire wanted to do D:

Gawsh. This icon is turning into a dramafest ><

Sorry for that, hope this helps.

Thanks

Once again - I'll do both, see which one turns out best.
(Or do both

)

Dentothor · May 30, 2009

lol its great but the fire looks a bit too big now!

The Panda · May 31, 2009

Never seen a campfire in hive, i dont think.. but ill give it 8/10.

Fire and Ice · May 31, 2009

What ta hax now the fire needs to be shrunk a little and it seems to have lost its original shape, something that I find more realistic than this...and please darken the patches of white in the background, they're interfering with the fire. And now the highlight is turning everything around the fire red...and burning wood should be black not brown...oh nevermind.

Dentothor · May 31, 2009

nice! good job it looks a whole lot better

terradont · May 31, 2009

Much better!

Fire and Ice · Jun 1, 2009

Round off the bottom left corner of the fire, its a little too straight there.

a7xpwns3 · Jun 1, 2009

Can I CnP the flame from V1 onto this? D:

Dmazzz · Jun 27, 2009

I like it alot!!! GJ 4.7/5!
