Icon Contest #12 - Spells on Different Units

[Kyrbi0]

I'm not sure if i'm even gonna join the contest, but here's a quick WIP i made.

Peon Battle Roar :)

There's something off about it, but y'know, for a first try (heck, a first foray; have you done any artwork on this site before?...), that's really good.

 

[morbent]

I like the motion a lot. The flow. It lack anatomy and war3 look though. Colors are fine.

 

[Chen]

Your last chance to give suggestions, I'm moving on to Grom Avatar.

 

[Vinz]

Is cool, but might use more light on that shiny head part.

Some more facial details, and this could become awesome!

Anyway, on another note, I'm out of the contest (yes; a single WIP and I'm already bailing).

Your style is less-detailed and more outlined. You should focus on a single character in an icon rather than multiple. Warcraft III icons are 64x64, multiple objects tend to mold into one shape in such a resolution. It is best to focus only a single character, use more detail, smaller brush and try not to outline it.

 

[Chen]

Hmm...okay, the others are only focused on one element anyway.

[Heinvers]

Could someone post a screenshot of my icons in-game for me? I don't feel like downloading Warcraft again

Okay, I'll do it.

 

[Just_Spectating]

Okay, I'll do it.

coolio.
I'll update my submission asap.

 

[Heinvers]

So here's how the icons look in game.

So here's how the icons look in game.

They don't really fit. I gave you a good example- Just_Spectating. Then you just got offended that I edited in order to show you your mistakes. :/

 

[Just_Spectating]

They don't really fit. I gave you a good example- Just_Spectating. Then you just got offended that I edited in order to show you your mistakes. :/

The fact that you made them yourself denies me of using the same icon for this contest.
It would be as if we entered the contest together if my final submission happened to be all of the icons you made of mine.

I took some of your input, don't get me wrong, but I don't necessarily have to agree with your decisions either.

 

[Chen]

Fist WIP to Grom Berserk, gonna take a rest, for now.

to repeat what has been repeated,
zoom in on that face, don't make the entire head showing

He said that it is a WIP, it is not final. It is entirely not completed, you don't need to zoom-in..

 

[Vinz]

I think he does. Just like the Troll Berserk.

 

[morbent]

I'm not happy with these two, so I'll rework them soon I think. No filters used this time! Just round and blurry brush (is the blurry brush a custom brush btw?).

Large

Happily, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KjsSvjA5TuE so I've got 1 more icon to make ^^

edit: ah fuck I forgot the borders. I'll add them in the remake.

 

[Vinz]

Those look really awesome in the big pictures! Though the quality and light of the second one is kinda lost when re-sized. Perhaps more light?

 

[Hemske]

post

That first one look super-blizzard. Awesome.

You can't enter with the second version because that icon is far too good-looking to be in a wc3 map. Sorry.

 

[morbent]

I intentionally darkened it after resizing cuz I thought it's too light for an Immolation Turned Off icon. Maybe I shouldn't have, come to think of it now.

Besides, I'll rework them anyways.

edit: hemske ehm , what xD? Warcraft 3 feel? Damn I wish it had that, but it's not even close!

 

[Heinvers]

I tend to agree with Hemske here

You're just too good morbent

 

[Hemske]

@morb

Now that you say that, it is not really warcraft3ish. I was just blown away. It would fit perfect for lich's dark ritual in dota 2 though.

Anyway, point still remain, you shouldn't be doing icons for this contest. Your art is too good for this game. Just go work for some triple A company with your icons already.

 

[Vinz]

Agreed, though it's sad that you can't make icons for rep.

 

[lokharke]

@Morbent, Your new immolation icon is so icy. I liked the the color selection and it really matched War3 TFT. For name it can be even called blue fire, frozen seal, freezing curse and many others. I liked the 1st once since it gave be more War3 feel.

 

[morbent]

Thank you lokharke! I'd appreciate some negative comments though :X Like what you think I should edit so I can do better on the rework!

Back to icon making, Mana Burn for Maiev (One of the best chars ever :!!, damn maiev is awesome.)

Large

 

[Heinvers]

Awesomness level just hit 9000 now

Maybe you could make the fingers stand out a lil more.

 

[morbent]

More distinguishable? Yes indeed. I'll add more outer glow/darken them/something of that sort.

 

[Vinz]

OMG. i didn't kow u were such an artist before. Perfect claws and that light but i think it might suit some other unit more than maiev.

 

[Vinz]

Indeed, they somehow look like Dreadlord claws.

 

[A Void]

Indeed, they somehow look like Dreadlord claws.

Actually it looks like it should, its called Night Elf armored gloves that the watchers (Warden) uses. And it looks very smooth and polished- you need to make it more War3 Styled tough. :/

Wrong! Those are exactly like they should be.

 

[Just_Spectating]

Hey Morbent, the contest requires

Exactly 4 icons.

which ones are for this contest?

You've got so many nice icons already!

First wip - Breath of Fire (Neutral Hostile) for Red Dragon.

Large

Mind Rot for Lich.

Large

Critical Strike for Illidan

This one took a lot of time but it was pretty fun. Besides, Illidan is the best character ever ^^

Large

To be honest, I actually (until looking into the critical strike to realize what it is) thought it was a crab's leg.

Now I KNOW there are 100 hammers in Warcraft 3, especially in the same position but I just couldn't resist :X HAMMERS!

Endurance Aura for Paladin:

Large

(I should also make a sword version, come to think of it. For Arthas.)

I'm not happy with these two, so I'll rework them soon I think. No filters used this time! Just round and blurry brush (is the blurry brush a custom brush btw?).

[Vinz]

My statement was wrong, I should have separated the last part with another sentence. It should be;
"Indeed, they are perfect.

Though they somehow look like Dreadlord claws."

So I'm not saying he should change anything, I am just stating that it looked similar to claws for me.

 

[Chen]

I'll die happy.

 

[Heinvers]

Taking shape slowly I see

 

[Vinz]

I'll die happy.

You will.

OT: Looks cool, but please hurry. The deadline is near.

 

[morbent]

Uh, Just_Spectating, I'll probably draw a few more and choose 4. Although, Immolation counts as 1 cuz it needs both Turned on and off version.

About the claws:

Large art

cake: 4 days are a lot of time Let Chenralstrasz work! The more time he puts into it, the better it will become, right?

 

[Vinz]

I thought the blue thing was the BM's pants all along until I looked a little closer.

 

[Vinz]

Me too. Windwalk looks like a fan, and I still don't know what it is.

 

[Chen]

Waves? Flower? Some Blizz icons are just hard to understand.

 

[Vinz]

The gray space seems stupid... I just hate some Blizzard icons.

 

[morbent]

There. I deleted most of my spam. I suggest we stop flooding the Icon Contest discussing Blizzard's icons now.

In regard to making icons of that sort (Chen) I believe that altering the idea of the weird ones wouldn't hurt. Like for Windwalk you can do whatever you want. Or mirror image doesn't necessarily have to be DoubleFace icon. I know earlier we discussed how you should maintain the idea of the old icon, but with some it's just impossible. Like Windwalk

 

[Chen]

Aww...Many obstacles to get the 444th post lol. Anyways, will we have extensiens?

EDIT:I will make DH Wind Walk insteaf To be more easey.

 

[Vinz]

Cool, I suggest you make a set of BM skills for DH.

 

[Chen]

I already have 3 icons which is not for DH lol.

 

[Vinz]

Yeah but you can make a separate set or trio.

 

[Chen]

Deadline is near

 

[Rui]

No more Dreadlords? =P

Blademaster's Critical Strike is one I hadn't understood until recently too, it looked like an axe, which was okay when playing Grom Hellscream, but awkward on a regular Blademaster.
