This is an excellent idea and will sure be useful, but it needs slightly more work before I can approve it.

First of all, this gloomier version has the blur which doesn't fit with the sharp warcraft style, I strongly suggest to use a 1 pixel stroke around the rune of a color slightly whiter than the original, just to detach it a little from the background, and make it sharp and the focus of attention. The other thing that bothers me is the simplicity of the rays. At this state, they look pretty solid in both render and motion - they could go from the very bright color of the rune itself towards the dark color you've used - it would do a lot for the icon's focus of attention, and overall effect.


This is *so* close to get an approval, so I hope you'll work a little more on it soon.

Apheraz Lucent: No changes made - clearing out the icons that have been left on pending for far too long, but haven't been updated ever since. If you decide to work on this icon a little more, when you update the icon, the status will be reset to pending.

Looks great and it's highly useful seeing as we lack Draenei related icons on the Hive.

You should sharpen the image a little because it's a tad blurry currently.

Thanks everyone! And DaHomieG, it's blurry in the preview but in-game it's fine, just because Hive uses .jpg for the previews.

Anyways, tried to update, what's better?

The second one has more shading but it looks gloomier to me, but it looks fine in the 64x64 version below. What do you think?
