Phoenix Trial #8 - Food

[darkdeathknight]

When were you ever nice? (It's a joke)

 

[RaijinSpark]

Heres one of my new icons (non McDonalds)
It's a golden fish stick! Tasty, eh?

I have no idea what this is, but I'm pretty sure it's delicious :3

Nice icon btw, but really hard to tell what it is..

This is the answer tasty sticks :3 BTW all the icons are really good it will be hard for voting. :S

FOOD.
FOOOOOOOOOOOD
not cutlery, not napkin, not plate, not a food processor, not a taco bell restaurant, not bob marley.
FOOD
----------------------------------------------


FOOD - Definition on wikipedia


now lets take a vial of poison as an example.
do you ingest it? - yes
do you gain any nutrient from it? - No
so it is not a food

milkshake
do you ingest it? - yes
do you gain any nutrient from it? - Yes
so it is a food

milkshake is food. it is a form of liquid food. therefore drinks are counted as food.

-----------------------------
you can make as many icons as you want but you can only pick 3 as the final entry

the milkshake is probably more poisonous than deadly nightshade,depending on where its from.

 

[kola]

Following NFWar's advice, I added orange to the banana icon... I think it looks better now even if it doesn't make a huge difference

EDIT: Finished my third icon : Kiwi

EDIT 2: So this is my entry I think.. added the orange icon to this post and the Blp files
EDIT3: added glows to my icons.

<=== Blp files with ''glow'' in the name are those 3

<=== My entry

 

[darkdeathknight]

Wip from me
Pig is finished, Anus Sloth tied with invisible string is nearly finished and Fish is only half way.
Might redo the sloth.
And the fish is instead of pottage.

 

[Tleno]

Those are not really Blizzard style, but they stil look awesome.

 

[RaijinSpark]

Look at the skill of 2D artist nowadays, I doubt I'll even see a wc3-ish icon submitted for this contest.

 

[Deleted member 157129]

Skill of 2D artists nowadays? Whatever do you mean by that? Oh, and is that good or bad? >_>

 

[RaijinSpark]

shiik, well after all the happened, I mean 2D artist nowadays are getting better and better. Their skills are enhanced as they do more work.

Which means there will be some (or majority) that will make icons (which are far better than WarCraft's) for this contest.

That's not really true..

Professionals of some years ago were still much better than most of us.

 

[-Berz-]

So there is like a week or something left? Well I'm not sure If I'll be able to finish my, due to some reasons...

 

[Tr!KzZ]

I think I will give this a try and join this contest. Unfortunately my graphic tablet isn't working well and it's some cheap shit..

Well, when it works correct again and I have some time I'll redo the icons, but that's not sure. So here's my final entry so far:

 

[darkdeathknight]

Moar Wips

Trying to make it look warcrafty. Unless someone finds a mistake anywhere, the fish is finished and the chopping board thingy is the only thing left to do.

 

[M0rbid]

Guess what, my theme is: RED

 

[darkdeathknight]

*Noob inserts a witty quote about Red Shift

 

[Tleno]

Red theme? Intresting. What will be next, red meat?

 

[M0rbid]

this is the next:

 

[kola]

Looks like an ass -.-

 

[-W3SK3R-]

Looks like an ass -.-

true true... it really look like it...

 

[Tleno]

Yeah, but I'm pretty sure that was the whole point of this... tomato.

 

[M0rbid]

Yeah, but I'm pretty sure that was the whole point of this... tomato.

actually this is right...
however if you all do not like it that way, I can change it, of course....

Here is another:

 

[Tleno]

No. No.
Assmato must stay!

 

[HyperActive]

Looks more like a paprika now.

 

[Tleno]

Looks more like a paprika now.

I think that's because it's a third icon which is supposed to be a paprika...

 

[M0rbid]

once again right....

this could be the new tomato:

Which version do you all prefer?

 

[Tleno]

This one has a somewhat better shading.. though the assmato is still more epic.

 

[Hemske]

Assmato, for sure. Seriously speaking.
The shape on the last one is worse in my opinion.

 

[M0rbid]

Could you elaborate on what is bothering you please ?

 

[kola]

Morbid, i say keep the last one. just make the bottom right of the tomato more round.

 

[Hemske]

Could you elaborate on what is bothering you please ?

What kola just said, more or less.
The shape on the bottom is a bit weird and not that round.

 

[Deleted member 157129]

Nice ones, M0rbid. I think the paprika looks a bit stretched, though. Keep the last tomato, but round it more. It's kind of bubbly.

 

[Krl70]

I thought I'd sum up my stuff, in case I don't get to do anything before the end of the contest.

Cake:
This was an emergency icon, very failure, and I don't even have a WIP of it. (Why did I even upload it?)

Raptor neck:
Quite satisfied, the frame removes a little of it though.

Eye on a stick:
An eye, ripped out of someone or something, and put on a stick. Served cold.

Cheese:
A round piece of Dwarven cheese, I might change point of view, and make the dwarf-sketch-logo thingy larger or take it away.

There, so many uploads.

 

[Hemske]

Looking pretty good Krl, you should change the angle of the cheese and give it more depth though. The other icons could need some harder shading as well.
The stick should get more "tree-veins" (don't know the right word for them).

 

[kola]

Following Joe-Black-5's advice, I added glow to my icons. Page 11

 

[Deolrin]

Why? :/
They look a lot worse now. Glow ruins every single non-magical icon. Glow is supposed to be some kind of representation of powerful arcane magics or something. This is simple food; Why would you have glow on it?

 

[Hemske]

I actually think the glow is quite nice, it is not too much, I don't get the feeling they are magical, it just makes the icon more "alive".

But I think the color of the glow should stack with the object. I.e. Yellow glow for the bananas, orange glow for the orange and the green glow for the kiwi. It might look better.

 

[kola]

I tried it with the banana icon, It was hard to see the banana, so i tried to add a black line between the glow and the banana, and it was horrible for some reason.

 

[Kuhneghetz]

The glows made your icons look terrible.
The versions without the glows look way better.

 

[kola]

Ok.. well i'll keep them but i'll make my entry the No-glow icons.

 

[Dentothor]

Redid the noodles. Comments? Critique?

Ill do so for the sushi and ill probably do spring rolls afterward.

 

[darkdeathknight]

Is that supposed to be ramen or some other noodle? Cos the noodles look like spagetti right now.

EDIT-MOAR Wips. I think it is final for these two icons. I might redo Pig, it looks crap compared to these icons

No more anus sloth here!
(Hmm the steam looks crap here. Gotta change that right now)

 

[-Berz-]

So I guess peach will be my second icon.

reference

 

[Deleted member 157129]

You should shade the edges more on that one, Berz, it looks like it was cut out. The texture/colouring is very nice, though.

 

[anarchianbedlam]

What the theme picture SHOULD have been

Those are really great, though the bowl should be a bit less dark, because it's dark sides blend in with the black background.

Extremely bad composition.
I can't believe I'm actually giving you advice >.< but zoom in.

 

[FrIkY]

I may be done with the chocolate. I tried to add wrapping, but it didn't work out well. What do you think?

 

[anarchianbedlam]

 

[darkdeathknight]

Here is the Blp's for my icons.
I hope they are useful and well made.
Please don't judge with the pictures here. One of them was updated after (rabbit). If I remember I will change the picture.

EDIT- A liitle birdy told me that you needed an in-game

Please excuse the crappy quality. I come from a 5th world country.
