enjoy: I find this useful, and you were honest and came with a good description. Nice one! However, I will transfer this to the blizzard account.

PurgeandFire · Oct 21, 2013

It could certainly be useful. Nice execution.

HappyCockroach · Oct 21, 2013

it's pretty useful indeed. and flawlessly done

i think it should be approved. it could be problematic if you were stealing blizzard's work, but your conscient of blizzard's autorship, and i think some mod can fix that

Roland · Oct 21, 2013

Looks neat. I hope this will get approved someday. ^^

RED BARON · Oct 21, 2013

Damn nice

I realize when I look at it, that I have always been bothered by the originals appearance, yet the notion to change it never occurred. Good thing others can do that for me :thumbs_up:

Matarael · Oct 21, 2013

Minor looking edit but a useful one, I most certainly never would have thought of it.

Giving proper credit is imperative, always

Whenever I am making units in the WarCraft editor, I always make sure that their skill icons are of the same colour scheme, so when I made a Human-mage unit, I felt uneasy using an icon meant for an Orc-mage unit. It's kind-of an OC thing, haha.

RED BARON · Oct 21, 2013

Dude, while I like the icon, I would advice you to edit your posts and combine them into one. Basically just open each edit in a new tab and then CnP them into one..and delete the two others as triple posting is not allowed.

chobibo · Oct 21, 2013

Looks great, specially the hands.

Rheiko · Oct 21, 2013

looks nice, and great description :smile:

English is not my native tongue.

but it looks like you're really good with english =P

Courteous uploader, resourceful resource... I'd say more than Approvable, recolor or not.

In my opinion, there are enough of these (extremely useful but ultimately just recolors/minor edits) that they could go in their own separate category and go under their own rules (i.e. lighter restrictions on how deeply-edited they are). This may not "strictly" fall under the current Icon rules, but makes loads of sense. In fact, I wouldn't mind seeing a series of icons in this style (Orc -> Human)... And more (Undead -> Orc -> Human -> Night Elf -> Troll -> etc). A Trollish (Undead Acolyte) Sacrifice? A Human/Elven (Dark Ranger) Silence? A Night Elven (Human Priest) Heal? Why not?

This made me lol because holy shit making icons same colour scheme. I love a good "system" but I haven't gone this far yet and this is making me want to look at my existing icon sets in my map(s) and rethink the colours lmfao...

FUJI · Oct 22, 2013

Very useful!!! +Rep

Rainmaker · Oct 22, 2013

This is the kind of icons I really like - not overwhelmed with unneccesary details, yet very, very useful.

Btw, who did the editing of the original Blizzard icon? I see only "Blizzard Entertainment" listed as an author, if I +rep "them". does the editor of the icon get the rep, or what?

xylign · Oct 22, 2013

"All icons must be at least 50% freehand created. Non-freehand techniques include mirroring, cloning (or brute cloning, as in clear copy-paste), recoloring, resizing, rotating and tracing."
I don't know where is the 50% "freehand"

RED BARON · Oct 22, 2013

xylign read the description and read the moderators comments - This was credited to Blizzard entertainment for exactly that reason, but it is because it was considered so useful that it was allowed.

Also Rainmaker the editor/creator is: Jaalawi

xylign · Oct 23, 2013

Could you please describe what kind of model can be considered "so useful"?

that icon was freehand-made by Blizzard Entertainment, if you ask.

at least, i do believe blizzard didn't cnp it.

Pretty much ALL magic/arcane using humans instead of just orcs?

While Kimberly perfectly answered that one, I got to ask why are you apparently so offended by this? He is not getting the credit for the icon, but he still did the work on it that allows everyone to use it. If he had drawn everything himself he would have gotten credit for it, but he didn't - the icon was just accepted and credited to Blizzard, much like other stuff has. And surely you are aware that Blizzard made Warcraft 3, this this can essentially be considered part of the game, made available for wider usage.

There's nothing wrong being strict to every works.

There's nothing wrong being strict to every works.

Just say it straight, what do you want the mods to do? Every opinion is worth hearing so why not say yours.

So given the facts in this case, and apparently your logic; you want us to be strict in regards to the stuff already in the game made by Blizzard?? Guess we need to find some hacker to get the stuff out of the game and judge it before we can allow it in..

Really what part of: "He does not get the credit for it" are you missing?
