Pyramidhe@d: I dont like the thick black lines.

enjoy: Might be useful.

i would say remove the black outline and do some variation in colors, i dont think they had 100% flat paper in that time

u need to add shading and highlights. the idea is good.

yes, I agree with the four points above. I guess it looks a bit like alive. it is brighter than all other icons. it kinda pops out. in a way. but I like the idea of having more scroll's here :3

Update: Added some shading.

shading is too weak. old script were dirt and not perfect. it needs stronger shading and at more places.

The black outline isn't actually a problem.
The paper, corresponding with the rune, is.

First of, the darkened top right scrolled part of the scroll definitely needs to be even darker but note that the whole layer in that spot needs to be stronger shaded to the left than to the right.
I also recommend to add smaller variations and details to the paper itself, such as smaller runes accenting the main rune or little cracks. Be creative.

Update: Shading stronger, added little runes to both sides of the big one

an old script is more dirt than this. try to do something like this

forget the little cricle in the middle. just check the paper.

This pergament is very old. To look like this, a paper has to pass a million of hands and has to be dropped several times. If you handle the scroll with care, it will stay withe and clean for several years.
(And think over the life of an scroll in WCIII: Its produced, delivered, lays in stock for a while, gets bought and used some days later on the battlefield. Not much chances to get worn out. )

u think that people were doing white clean paper a long time ago?

Abit cartoonish? fix that part whille with the black lines you have been hearing about.

Yep, they were. Do not underestimate our ancestors. Their paper is better than ours.

Update: removed black outlines, better shading

remenber WYD

If you mean WIP, here it is:
(xgf format)

Edit: Updated it alot. Shading now very strong, made the outlines thinner and added a dirt layer to it. Comments please.

This is the rune of the Dwarven Lord!

The futhark was often misused for games or films, because the runes are not very well known in the society.

Well Dwarven Lord is my creation. I personally found this rune in Viking runes and chosen it.
