Icon Contest #9 - Same Abilities, Different Hero

[I3lackDeath]

Indeed. I suggest a green or blue color scheme... Or both.

Well, it actually goes along with what I was aiming for, depicting status or emotional changes of the model itself. Simply using the existing colour sheme it has (blue all the way, which imo stands for a calm, inner state of mind) would have been really boring, and I prefer warm colours.

Also, red depicts rage better than blue/green could.

 

[rcshaggy]

I personally liked on how Death Knights had Blood, Unholy, and Frost talents in which made them like the good old days Death Knights with the unholy magic and I3lackDeath are you going for a blood icon spree or what?

 

[Amargaard]

Having only one color-theme is awzum!

I didn't really specify that, it just happens to change while improving icons (my concepts change all the time).

There are just so many different opinions on what colours I should pick, that I try out suggestions and just go with the ones I like (and so far, I really like how these came out).

However, I already said that there's always the possibility of attaching colour variations to uploads.

EDIT: This is the alternative I could come up with (as separate attachments), allthough I still stick to the redish colour sheme to be my final entry, since I totally love it.

Oh, and I just can't come up with a proper Ultimate... >_<

Oh, that is beautiful. Would work wonders if the ulti was blue. (Or, alternatively, green, and then make Death Pact\Vampirism Aura\whatever, blue.)

Also, as for ulti, try Reincarnation, or perhaps, Death and Decay?

I want to create a nuke as his ultimate, since all other abilites are passive or enhancing. He needs some direct damage.

Reincarnation would fit the model, but it's another passive and rather "lame" imo.

I thought about giving him the Crypt Lord's ultimate, with souls ripping enemies apart. We will see.

 

[Deolrin]

Locust Swarm sounds great, indeed. Earthquake, Death and Decay, and Doom could also be interesting.

True, but Doom is rather nice as it is. I wouldn't know how to apply it to the model.

 

[chr2]

I'm joining this. Guess which hero.

WIP

I plan on adding bamboo around the face in a similar way to this:

 

[JollyD]

My WIP - Slam with a Knobstick

[Joe-black-5]

Guys try to provide the Hero you chose and the icons you based your abilities on when possible (to avoid confusion)

@ JollyD : looks more fitting for a storm bolt base ability

 

[JollyD]

Good ) good, actually the style was from the Storm bolt

but i decited to make at as passive abbility so it is like Pulverize

I'll do that with my final post.

 

[Hemske]

Oh fuck, I've missed this one. I'll try to find the time to join this one though. Count me in.

 

[I3lackDeath]

I finally came up with an idea for an Ultimate icon...

Strange, I started out with blue and green, but the result didn't match with the other icons I want to be my final submissions. So I just played around a little.

 

[Apheraz Lucent]

The skulls look so plain, and is that a part of a Death Knight? It is... strange to discover it without big image.
Otherwise, a very nice idea.

Well, they are supposed to be ghost-like, summoned souls ripping the living apart. The sword and body part you see is supposed to be the Lich King pointing towards the battlefield.

I can't actually zoom in more, it would loose the whole gesture. Most of the sword and shoulder has to be seen in order to get the idea.

That is just awesome. I personally think you should go with the blue/green versions, as they look way better in my opinion.

 

[I3lackDeath]

I'm currently tweaking it. Kinda like the outcome so far.

 

[Mr.Goblin]

blablabla.. simple WIP because you asked for one >.>

 

[chr2]

So, here's my first icon. It's Shadowmeld. If that isn't allowed, it can serve as Wind Walk too:

 

[rcshaggy]

Hey chr2 do you mind if I use that for my avatar? :3

Shadow meld works so don't worry.

 

[Hemske]

I haven't really understood if we have to go by the "two active, one passive, one ultimate"-format or if we can just take three random abilities and an ultimate?
Someone care to clear it up for me?

 

[Apheraz Lucent]

Prepare to get flamed.
I think that shiiK Joe explained it completely in the earlier posts.
Here.
Or here.

2 normal, 1 passive, 1 ultimate.

 

[Hemske]

Ah, now I saw it, thanks. Re-read those posts a couple of times, still managed to miss that info I see. Well alright then.

I will make icons for the ice troll model. With frost arrows and trueshot aura as my only ideas so far.
------------------------------------------------
Edit: Added a little WIP of the frost axes based on frost arrows icon.

 

[I3lackDeath]

Elainiel, this looks very interesting, as ice, especially in WC3, is an eye candy. Looking' forward to see this evolve.

I'm pretty much done with everything. These will be (one of) the last WIPs I'll upload.

Also, this is how I think my final entry will look like (the Ultimate may look a bit smudged, but that's because the preview is JPG, I sharpened it just as much as the others):

 

[Apheraz Lucent]

^Rainbow ftw.

 

[Deolrin]

I suggest you flip the colors on that ultimate. Ghosts --> green, frostmourne --> blue.
Also, since when does the Lich King wear ANY leather? D:

Well, his gloves are leather. Since it can't even be seen in the icon, I just replaced his armor below the shoulder plate. Otherwise it would be a mess of grey.

Updated my previous comment.

 

[Deolrin]

Tone down the opacity on the background glow, and make it a bit more teal-ish, but by a very small amount, imo.

 

[JollyD]

So, here is my 2 WIP Knuckles Beat

/

great )

 

[Deolrin]

Perhaps tone down the green on the Ultimate, to be like the green on Call to Arms?
That would be most perfect.

Either way, looking good!

Oh looking great. I thought I'd do true sight as my passive though, gotta change that now

Should have put some gold and fairy dust in.

I am applying as a judge, if there is a free spot.

I have to make it more cartoony to fit the other one and such.

I love the concept of this one! I also thought about re-using DevotionAura, but couldn't come up with a concept myself.

Also, I would add some shadows to your first icon (the ShadowMeld one). The face is supposed to be behind the bamboo, so there should be shadows around the face.

I haven't seen anyone applying so far.

Thanks. I actually made the icon before thinking of which spell I wanted it to fit, and luckily it worked perfectly for this one.

I thought likewise, so I actually already added more shadows to it. And I changed it to Wind Walk afterall. I wanted to save the passive ability for something else (Devotion Aura).
