It's Interesting and has potential, but it is currently bland. You can always update it after the Contest.

I really liked the idea of Lava Entangle you told me about,
I hope this icon can be improved in the future day.

Could be more zoomed in, for silhouette it is better to use dark color. The red in background is too monotone, you could include more colors to it.

Background shouldn't be this dark, you could give it some more bright colors and highlights (especially to the center of image) and add more flying objects around.

It is too much zoomed out, there is too much contrast between background and foreground. You may want to blend in some parts of object to background to focus on the center of image, you can also illustrate some smoke or similar in the lower part of icon.

This one worked out well shape-wise, but you should zoom it in more. Adding effects to background would be good.


I will put these on awaiting update. We have many icons here of similar theme so you can always search for them to get the idea of how to frame object, what colors work well together, how much background is necessary to be left empty and so on.

As reviewed by Murlocologist, I will move them into substandard since you are not planning to make any improvement.
