Chaos Combust (Reforged)

A fel-type icon showing a skull lit in chaos flames.

Could be used as a self-explode ability.

Updated the icon by attempting to reduce the fire intensity as well as improving the overall skull quality and highlights.

Mayday
I agree with PrinceYaser that this could be improved through shading and definition on the skull. But it's a good addition as is. Approved!
Pretty good use of Ice Barrier icon.
I would suggest to slightly reduce the intensity of that Fel Fire around the skull.
You could perhaps make it sell bright, around the edges, and then copy the whole fire again, reduce it in size so that there are 2 Fires:
One bigger and less bright or colourful and one at the core with the same intensity as you have now.
But that's just a suggestion :D

Thanks for the feedback! I have now made some adjustments :)
 
when i download it and upload it in my w3 reforged game it gives me a light green box only without the icon, i am sure i have put the correct pathing. please help

It should look something like this in your Asset Manager for it to work:

Remember that each "BTN" icon needs a "DISBTN" to match.


If that doesn't solve it, then it might be some graphical issue that I'm not sure how to fix.
 
Too noisy, simple and low quality for an HD icon.

Have you drawn this? If so, the skull, effects and the whole icon could be definitely improved further, regarding shading, definition, color, etc.

Pay a visit to 2D Art Tutorials for clues on how to make this even better. :]
I made this icon by combining the HD icons Ice Barrier and Health Stone from Reforged in Photoshop. And yeah, it could properly be made even better but I'm actually just fine with how it looks right now. :)

Indeed, but I made suggestions for you getting this approved in future. On how this can get possibly up to +50% better regarding spacing and other factors I said.

But if you're happy with the result, so be it. :]
