I disagree! Each one of those icons deserves max rep points from me. You're welcome, thank for the follow by the way.

As you wish! :D

You're welcome!

I'd encourage you (Maxwell) to subscribe & contribute to the discussion I started of this very nature <https://www.hiveworkshop.com/threads/what-makes-a-blizzard-icon.302914/>; I'd love to get some more exposure for it, because I feel like it's an issue we've all danced around for *years* now, as a community.

I can grab 10 random users, have them look at an icon, and get everything from "fits so well in Warcraft!" to "doesn't fit at all!". It's kinda infuriating. It may just be The Way Things Are, but I want to look deeper into it.

@Scias I'm not quite sure what conversation you mean (if it's not the one above)...

Lool oops, I never realized it was a public thread on the forums. For some reason I thought it was a private conversation, might've been the notification that threw me off. Or maybe having seen you mention all those people I thought only those people were included in the conversation..

Anyhow, yeah that's the thread I was talking about. And I would also like to see more contribution to the thread.

ps. the link you posted doesn't work due to ); in the end of the link

Fixed, thanks. Yeah it's public. Gotta get the word out...

Haha I was on a lengthy phone call, so I couldn't respond on time. But I just replied over there.
I'm completely fine with anyone using my icons for their avatar, and especially so for someone who's work the icon is based off of/meant for.

Alright! I really like how it looks. :D Thanks.

Ahh I see, I didn't know this. I was updating 2 icons a day or so lately and today I found time and thought I'd update the rest.. :/

Nothing wrong with that. As long the updates are legitimate and you aren't just changing a single letter in the description to bump it.

I feel bad about it since I didn't intend to bump the icons and it pushes the recently posted ones way below.. Nothing I can do to change that anymore I guess, but I'll keep in mind not to do this again.

Not to stomp on things, but do building icons even *need* artistic adjustment? I was always under the impression that they were simply straight "screenshot icons" (not even any modding, just a picture).

Yep, I guess so. But in my case, buildings are very similar, so I need a little edits to make them looks nice.

Think the icons for buildings can be polished by simple tool edits like blur/sharpen etc.

Np tyt haha

Yeah true the names can get lengthy, I didn't think it mattered. It's a good idea to switch to naming them Hero<name> for blue border and just <name> for the borderless. Thanks for this suggestion, I'll probably update the icons with this fix when I find time.

Thx man <3
Well, it is existing model on Hive, that havent an suitable icon. If it was useful for me, It will be for some others people. So I recomend you to upload it too. Thx again!

Yw,
Uploaded it to the icons section so you can get the BLP file now too :)

I'm going to defend this icon to the last drop of blood :D

Made your request, check it out here: https://www.hiveworkshop.com/threads/btnchaosgeneral.302892/
Hope you like it.

Wow, that looks amazing!

Thanks :)

Thanks, it's very important to me to keep up with the style of the original artwork since I believe if I am updating a game with new content it must match the original.

Agreed. Keep going!

I'll give you feedback continuously whenever I find time to play a game. Currently 2 games in, it's not much time spent playing the map to provide the best feedback but I'll give you my first thoughts (I'll write a post in your map comment section).

It wasn't harsh at all, I truly appreciate it :D

the second part
Well from what I noticed in classic Warcraft 3 buildings and units icons are majorly done by screenshots (ie Druid of the Talon with the mirrored face).. These kind of screenshots I think mostly just need some minor touching up so it doesn't look completely crap. Raptorsaurus Warlord sounds like fun, do we make his icon just the raptor like PotM or would the icon be of the troll :D
I'm not keen of abilities, I'll have to work on those for another project and even though I think the style will be way different, I feel like I rather deal with spell ability icons then than now. Kinda hard to explain what I mean but I want the icons to be a fresh issue and don't wanna have previous warcraft 3 style work to help me find the solutions? If that makes sense. (now I see why you separated the post)

Well then, it seems you (like me) have run into the glorious "character limit" wall of VMs. It looks like things are starting to get cooking, so I'll move this to PMs. : )

(sorry everyone xD)

I'll give it a shot when I find time.

Thank you, I appreciate your help.

You're welcome!
