Pyramidhe@d: Useful

This is KEWL! I just hope moderators' opinions will be da same :/

This one is good, but i suggest make little deep in color range. IF it will be this it is good enough to approve

Said it all.

I knew your position on 99% of icons

Or it could just use some dark strokes in the lightiest area

This actually looks like a real nice effect. Though the moderators aren't too fond of icons like this, I hope it still gets approved.

Really? Why? D:

Well, they tend to dislike icons that is just an effect. Like fireball/lightning bolt/Like this one/etc. Because (well at least pyra) wants us to create more complicated and detailed icons, in order for us to grow more, as iconmakers.

The same as the Pyramidhead, and i think this is right position

And by the way i will put here 5\5 %)

i dislike random smudges. shapes that look like as if you took a bucket of paint and threw at a wall and you just captured a random pattern out of the splatter

now if you were to put some identifiable shapes on this, it would be acceptable.

I can't grow if I can never begin

Plus, shouldn't icons also get at least some credit for usefulness? I like the icon because it's not missle-shaped like the Blizzard one for Corrossive Breath, and its passive variety is good for any type of poisonous fume etc. Before, I had to use the standard Disease passive icon and that's a much less universal icon.

I didn't upload this to get something out of it or to make it the best icon on the site. I found it useful and not really that bad, and thought others might make use of it too ^^

I don't feel as if adding anything substantial would improve this icon. It has an intended effect that it is supposed to cover, and it does. The paint is not randomly splashed, it's made so that it resembles actual gaseous spread, and not entirely intentionally, also a splash of a green substance. Without any hands (which are usually human in icons), or props that could be tied to a certain race or class, it is universal for any race and ability, and thus has a wider variety of uses.

Yeah, of course this could be of use, I find the effect exceptional, really does look like you are saying you wanted it to look like. Though I think if you were to add some minor particles to it, such as small bubbles or something, it could look even better. There is usually some random small dirt or things in a poisonous gas cloud. If you get my point. I think it would also appeal the moderators even more.

Effects do look a lot better with some variety, even though if it is only a gas cloud.

I like you

Updates made, with bubbles \o/. I'm new to the mysterious and ancient arts of bubble drawing, so I took some premades I have absolutely no idea whether it looks good or not, so I need more feedback. I have a couple more versions for trying, but how's the one I uploaded now? I could try adding something else too, but I'd like to test this first. ^^

I like it more now, the bubbles look great. One thing you could add though would be some more shading on the lower left part of the "fumes". The yellow part. To give it some more defined shape, Yeah, even though it is a gas cloud it still needs shapes

(Sorry for the late reply)

I like it very much.

Thanks.
