BTNGraveyard5

I made this icon when I played around with some scribbles and I realised it looked like a nice tree of a graveyard.

100% Freehand made in GIMP

Undead dont come from graveyards, they come from Umbrella Cooperation and other partners.

I like your icon but something is ruining it, in my opinion you should move the tree a bit to the right because it takes too much credit, when i saw it i couldn't see the tombstones at first. Also you should reduce a bit the saturation of the tree, and make it more dead-wood color, a bit more gray and darker than the actual.

Just a personal opinion. In overall i would give it a 2/5. Just because the tree takes TOO much credit, and it is the worse thing on the icon. Believe me, improve that tree and you'll get an owning icon.

Note: Remember wood as LOW highlights, since it doesn't reflect too much.

It's nice, but i think the tree draws a bit too much attention away from the actual gravestones represeting the graveyard theme. :p

Woah Chilla now THAT's and advance, congratulations!

As I see you are capacitated to improve a lot this icon, and you did a nice work removing some credits to the tree, in my opinion you should just make tombstones a bit larger/taller so they can be even easier to difference and you are done, just as Just_Spectating said, and about what Army-of-Pandas said, I'm not sure that the highlights are wrong, instead I think it can't be really defined since the tombstones are a bit small.

But you did a nice work from v2 to v3.

Now I would rate it a 3.5/5.
Because you still need to mark it is a splendid Graveyard. And it will help you the fact you moved the tree.

This is still not good enough? You must be going for a six out five then, almost there ;)
