Thunderous Apocalypse

Thunderous Apocalypse is a lot better, I am sure you can see the difference on your own.

The only thing I fear about the icons is the lack of the WarCraft III feeling. They mostly fit Guildwars, if you ask me!

Thunderous Apocalypse

I loved the old Thunderous Apocalypse better.

 

[Marcos DAB]

Instead of giving up, I decided to change my choice of hero to Primeval Hunter, but now with little time to work, I don't think it will be as good as it could.

The Primeval Hunter charges towards a target enemy unit, stunning it on impact and damaging it.

Level 1 - Stuns the unit for 2 seconds and deals 100 damage.
Level 2 - Stuns the unit for 4 seconds and deals 200 damage.
Level 3 - Stuns the unit for 6 seconds and deals 300 damage.

Causes a Heavy hit if the Primeval Hunter has rage counters.

Heavy Hit reduces a targets armor by 2 points for every rage counter, lasts for 6 seconds.

A visious swipe that strikes all enemies infront of the Primeval Hunter.

Level 1 - Deals 100 damage.
Level 2 - Deals 200 damage.
Level 3 - Deals 300 damage.

Consumes all rage counters to apply an enrage power, causing the Primeval Hunters attacks to hit all nearby targets for the next 5 seconds.

Cleave attacks deals 20% of normal damage per rage counter consumed.

Impressive.

 

[Marcos DAB]

Subject to changes.

Each attack has a chance to aqumilate a rage counter. Rage counters are used to increase the effect of the heroes abilities.

Rage counters lasts for 10 seconds and stacks up to 5 counters.

Level 1 - 20% Chance.
Level 2 - 40% Chance.
Level 3 - 60% Chance.

Adds 10% increased damage and 1 armor for each rage counter.

For now, looks like this:

Very nice work so far, Marcos DAB.

You could make the mouth a lot darker, from the inside, in order to turn it into more frightening. Since it's a debuff (stuns the target), it will appear on the enemy's buff status bar, which is why you should make it more frightening

For the claws, I suggest toning down the lines, because they look like mummified. Unless it is intentional, you could make fur instead.

Second icon here

 

[morbent]

Jolly, that's really cool. But yellow and purple look kinda... well, not that "Aggressive". I mean the icon is very aggressive. It's a shadowy figure moving it's hand forward, attacking I assume and... these colors are too. Well, "happy" and "nice". Probably Red and Orange would look better, but if the spell itself is pink then I'm wrong.

Thanks for the reply. It is difficult to choose a good color scheme here. For that satyr trickster. Will try another combination ...


So here is slight edition

 

[The Panda]

Im loving these entry's keep at it everyone.

 

[morbent]

Much better now Jolly , well at least in my opinion xD

 

[Marcos DAB]

Perhaps the inside of the mouth must be even darker =/

These changes may have worsened.

The 4th icon is not yet presentable, but I have an idea in mind.

 

[Deolrin]

The blue color scheme is cooler. But what unit are these for?

 

[Luorax]

But what unit are these for?

http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/1974863-post573.html

Also, agreed. I like the blue ones much more.

 

[Marcos DAB]

The icons has to represent the hero(Primeval Hunter), not a unit specifically.
How I chose the hero that doesn't has a predetermined unit, I'm feel free to create something different.

 

[morbent]

Ahaha, but Marcos, Garruk was a card from the card game MTG:

http://www.google.bg/imgres?hl=bg&t...bnh=194&tbnw=175&start=0&ndsp=28&tx=101&ty=82

He isn't a beast ;D whatever, it still looks cool.

(Type Garruk or Garruk MTG in Google. You'll get many images from Aleksi Briclot)

 

[Pharaoh_]

I suggest you retained both of the color schemes, because I am having a hard time choosing either of them. The first one is much more realistic and animalistic, but the blue tone is a lot better from every aspect, except the animalistic.

The fingers were fine, regarding their shape, my concern was the bold lines that you placed all over the grey area, which gives the wrong impression of mummification, instead of fur.

The mouth looks way better than the previous, but I suggest you added a red tone, instead of the color scheme's tone.

Finally, in order to add extra variety, you could make the eyes red, instead of blue. I am pretty confident that the antithesis will be bolder and much more representative of a beastly trait.

 

[Marcos DAB]

They are just WIPs, I will still change.

Oh. But which hero model is used in the submission? I don't see any screenshots and I'm kind of too lazy to download it and check it.

I didn't know this card. But I think the creator of the hero just used the same name.

 

[morbent]

Yeah, it could have been a coincidence. But it still looks a lot like Garruk, since one of the Planeswalker's names in one edition was Primeval Hunter.

 

[Marcos DAB]

I'm not referring to a coincidence, I'm saying that maybe he used the same name intentionally.

Maybe worse now.

 

[Amargaard]

I haven't seen the model you are basing your submission on Marcos DAB, but I think you should do something with the lighting from below on that passive icon of yours - it kinda looks like he has a fat belly and manboobs :b

 

[Marcos DAB]

But he has a fat belly and manboobs.

The icons aren't based on any unit. The icons should represent the hero. Resemblance to the model isn't a score criterion.

haha the abilities already use your icons xD

 

[8512590215848]

well, yes, but i guess they not fits well. Also i may change model, cuz this one uses realy strange and unbalanced FX on skills (i prefer make icons based on hero model and used effects)

 

[Luorax]

lol, and you're right :'D Hehh, that happens when a guy who makes quality icons wants to join such contest.

 

[GreeN!X]

AW.. Totally forgot about this.. now, I only have less than a week.. :/

gotta work fast..

 

[Marcos DAB]

Final entry.
But I'm still not sure about the color scheme and the final quality.
Primeval Hunter

 

[Deolrin]

That ultimate looks a bit strange.

 

[PROXY]

^ Agree. Too much is going on, and the middle part is way too messy. I guess it's a transformation from beast to human? Change the angle from frontal to something like the 3rd one, and a human being in the front.

 

[-Grendel]

in terms of color scheme, i'll choose the first one. although it needs more saturation. and like what the others said, the ultimate looks strange. personally i'd change the facial structure of the human part to make it look more...well.. human.

 

[Marcos DAB]

Final entry.
Primeval Hunter

I chose this color scheme, more animalistic. Whereas it is something animalistic/bestial.

Even if this isn't good enough, the deadline already expired, and I have no more time to work.

 

[I3lackDeath]

(...) the deadline already expired, and I have no more time to work.

(...) conclude on 17th of February, 11:59 PM [UTC].

You still have 1½ days left, just for completion's sake.

[Anachron]

No offence PeeKay but those icons don't follow a shared theme.

what u mean?

 

[Amargaard]

He means it's a different use of colors and effects in all of them, and it would look better if they shared some traits

Blizzard NEVER uses same color scheme on all 4 hero spell icons

 

[Jolly_jumper]

Compared to your previous works i think these are kinda pixelated, atleast the first 3, the fourth seems just a bit too red imo
It took me some time to realize whats happening in ur third icon there, if you could somehow make it more defined maybe by showing the ears more or make the eyes red?
The second icon is a bit boring, the red ring looks kinda out of place/theme and it could use some more..hmm special effects?^^

I think you did a really great job at making the icons portray a wolf, there is no doubt it's a wolf creature and not some other monster

well, i agree with you, but i realy dunno why it looks pixelated. i try rework them now... Maybe i will get better results.. Long time not drawn icons

 

[Anachron]

PeeKay, how long do you mod for wc3 now?
I just took the default 3 heroes of humans with w3c, and added the colors that are shared in the ability icons. I can't believe I really did this, since it's so obvious...

 

[morbent]

Wow, why is everyone mad at PeeKay suddenly ? It aint bad, I mean these icons are amazing! Sure, they don't match that well, I mean that second looks like a sword, which, in my opinion, has nothing to do with werewolves and the colors aren't that... matchy, but, wow, these icons are good
