BTNSummonZombie8

This bundle is marked as useful / simple. Simplicity is bliss, low effort and/or may contain minor bugs.
This is the first icon that I think I should upload. (It is made by me.)

It's supposed to be another version for the Animate Dead icon. Something like Summon Zombie.

The soil, the hand, the moon, the clouds, the grave and the shade and highlight are all freehand. Only the interior was filled with color using the Paint Bucket tool.

I hope you like it.
I would like to know how can I improve it.

If you find it useful, and use or modify it on any way, please give credits, but it's not necessary.
I know how hard is to remember the creator of every resource you're using.

Rejected until updated.

zombie2279: Looks better now. Add the fog to the background rather than fogging the whole thing, as it increases the level of blurryness. The hand still needs further details and shading.

zombie2279: I've been watching you work with the icon in the past days, but I didn't interfere because I was hoping for more improvements. Well, the hand's color is now weird, I preferred the green one. The shadings are close to sufficient, but please observe a hand in a similar position and add more details like that.

zombie2279: Rejected until updated. The hand is also stolen from the Animate dead icon.

Dont be nervous man, this looks good for your first icon ^^ but just needs some work, take away the blue thing in the backround and maybe add some mist effect to make it look scary since its about zombies.
4/5 for now :)

That's the best comment I have ever had on one of my threads...
I will do as you say and we'll see what it makes...
And the idea about the mist effect is brilliant :D

But what colour should I use for the dark sky?


Edit:
Done.
How about now? :3

You shoudn' be nervous :D

You have gotten nice responses. The only responses I got on my first icon was "sucks" and "don't make more" and "did you draw this in 1 minute in paint?".

Looks great man, the mist effect creates the effect on a graveyard, as in real life on graveyards they have mist, You know? but great job man 5/5 :)

Nothing else should be changed at the moment.

I don't quite visit the graveyards. :p

And thank you! :)

Edit:
BTN not updated ^^ Much better. Try to improve the grass, instead of just flat grass acutally make the grass sticks, will look incredibly nice

Well... It's not actualy supposed to be grass...
It's supposed to be soil.
I will adjust it a little.

Edit:
Done.

Edit 2:
zombie2279, how about now?

Edit 3:
Oh, and about the hand...
I had to take a look many times at my hand.

Looks nice but is a bit cartoony.. I would say more shading on the hand, and some mud/soil flying away from the hole (since the hand is bursting out) and maybe ad some cracks to the tombstone :cute:

And the comment about mist on graveyards: There is nothing that makes a graveyard have mist all the time.. most of the times I have visited any graveyard there is no mist.. I think you watch too many horror movies or something :wink:

It's supposed to be focused on the hand...
But, i will randomize the soil a little bit...
And i don't know how to make that "soil dots" look like they burst from the ground.

Edit:
Updated:
Sun converted to moon + effects
Added more mud: At the begining of the hand and in the hand.
Removed the "dots" wich were supposed to be pieces of soil bursting from the ground.


Any more ideas?

I really like the last version you put a lot of effort in it 4.5/5 in my opinion it would be better If the moon will be a bit larger and less blurry.
