The Icon gets some fire in the backround to show the upgrade gets better?! :S - 2/5

Do you need glasses:hohum:, just kidding. No the flames came because Friky say it needed more colors. And i did like the suits colors as they currently was, so didn't want to change them.

Seriusly look closer if you think its the only change:grin:
 
Seriusly, you need to make ALL your upgrade icons more different to eachother.

Have you seen the blizzards upgrade icons? Yours are not even close to the variety that makes an Icon unique, like Blizzards icons.

Why not:
1. Make first upgrade look like a rusty armor.
2. Make second upgrade look like a normal armor.
3. Make third one high-tech-like.

This is what makes an icon more unique, and awesome.
Im not saying you lack skill in making icons you are really good, you just lack some imagination of making your icons look epic.

Anyways, you are not a bad iconmaker, you just need to use more variety and think deeper.
And you are not alone with this problem, almost every icon maker in THW lack this imagination.

I can take that critique, but i have to state this. Blizzards icon upgrades really lack variety. Just look at them a second, the biggest difference is actually the colors and the glow

If icon makers lack anything its definitely not imagination, without it we would not have the abillity to paint anything out of our mind. Without imagination, most stuff on THW would be Cnp or work using original icons as templates. (That don't mean it have to be original).
We may lack the abillity to think orginally, but thats a different question. Especially since we make icons that are meant to be used, not meant to be art!

Thridly... Why!:
1: Imagen a rusty marine armor, you can't really used somthing rusty when walking on an other planet... I made mine underequipped because rusty/damaged armor wasn't really an option.
2: Well equpied and all, space suits is NOT normal armor, it need to be high-tech all way through.
3: over equipped, high-tech or whatever you call it.

Edit: 2/5... Thats somthing you would give cnp... You may thinks it lacks varietation, but that score kills me! I can't seriosly be that bad at iconing. 2/5 = lacking, my icon don't lack do it?

Yet once again you take my critique to serious :p

It was just examples, nothing more, Im not an icon maker coz I lack to many important skills.
Its not only your icons thats bothering me, like 85% of THW icons.

Oh well, dont take my critique to hard, just look at me as an idiot or something! :xxd:

Btw, my favorite icon maker is CRAZYRUSSIAN, I wonder why?! :cute:
