    Hey, how are you ?
    If you have some time, I would be glad to hear your opinion about my new skin :)
    hello, do you know this scenario

    i opened an .mdx model in mdlvis,
    tried to rotate its arm,
    and i notice the vertices connecting the arm to the body moves just slighty,
    and as you rotate the arm 360 degrees, those vertices seems to be closing (i mean those vertices moves closely to each other until they hit each other)..

    is that vertex weights???
    Dude I would like to use your icons uploaded here in hive for my android game. The android game is completely free and I don't earn any money from it so i can't pay you. I will give a proper credit for your works I promise that. Please reply if you allow me to use your icons.Thank you...

    Happy Birthday! (Happy Birthday!)

    I am not awesome neither I am a good person. I told you time and time again.
    I am just thinking how we can all become better individuals.

    :)

    Actually, my vacation is over after this week...
    But thanks anyway! :)

    Hm, in some way they contribute more, that's true. But one shouldn't underestimate its value just because others do more :)

    Am on the icon right now, but I lost motivation as I fail at improving it. I think I will work on another day on it, after some vacation days, when having spirit, patience and mood.

    Aw, don't say this. For me, you are the most important moderator. You effort is incredible, without you the icon section would be flooded.
    You already gave me more knowledge about drawing than my art teacher did ( she is not really good..).

    Don't underestimate your value for Hive!

    Thank you for your PM, I will change my brooch to make it look more simple and make it more realistic, not plastic.
    A
    Oh indeed, this helps a lot! I am sure I can adapt its information to the icon. I didn't think it is so important to use different tones, although you showed it up in the example, too. With pencil it is easy, but with colour ? Didn't try often in my non-digital coloured pictures
    Thank you again :) I am really impressed how much effort you put in Hive!
    A
    Hm yes, I understand. I will take a close look again on it when I work on the icon again. It seems really limited to pencils, doesn't it ?
    Thank you :)
    A
    Yes, exactly the way you showed me in your example icon of the brooch :)
    It is really a great method to have control over the different kinds of the icon, like shading, lights, colour, basic structure and so on.

    Ah okay, I got it! I used to draw with a pencil for my art class and although there is also light, mid-shadow/light and deep shadow, I have problems adapting it to digital coloured art, strangely. Nonetheless I will try it! Thank you!
    A
    Thank you :)

    About adding contrast, how do I do that ? I could use a filter from photo shop to add more contrast, but how do I do it naturally by freehand ? Wouldn't I have to remake the whole image to increase its contrast ?

    (Post) Awesome man, thanks for filling up the guideline, IcemanBo and you guys are doing a good job completing it! :D

    Thank you, I will not give up!
    A
    Wow, I am really impressed you take a lot of time. I guess being Icon Moderator is more than just approving, I am really impressed right now!
    Thank you for your feedback. I am just really demotivated right now, yours is near perfect, how can I even get near your level.
    I myself don't think the tutorials on Hive give a full information base on how to create realistic icons, or maybe I missed it.
    Nevertheless, I will spend a look on the tutorials again and make it step by step, instead of making it just for fun.

    Thank you very much!
    A
    Oh, I asked because I thought you are maybe not informed if an icon is updated.
    Just saw some users asking for a new review, therefore I thought there is a certain place to do so.
    Excuse my infamy, please, I know Moderators don't like if people ask them to do so, it was rather important to me to get more artistically feedback and suggestions.

    Hello, in case I want a second/ a new review for an icon due to update, where can I post the request ? Do I use Staff Contact then ?
