    (Bundle) and it looks really good, well done :)
    I just think it more close to wow style than wc3-ish for having more noise/ being more sharp. or might be just me hehe
    I like the style of your icons, Scias. They mend in with everything just fine, yet manage to stand out with good quality.

    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.

    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
    I'm really impressed how clean your work is considering you use brushes, every pixel feels like it's perfectly placed. I could never have this kind of control over the pixels in my attempts of using brush tools, so I stuck with pixeling.. It feels like I have so much to learn if I was gonna start practicing with brushes, and currently I have a lot of work to do and very little time apparently.
    The day you want some briefing, let me know! I'd be happy to take a few minutes to show you how I do my icons. And obviously the use of brush. But first I just want to make sure = are you using a tablet? and do you have photoshop?

    That would be great, and it's really nice of you. I unfortunately don't have a tablet and don't have photoshop, I use gimp and krita instead of it.
    Have you perhaps made a video tutorial before? If not, I would suggest you to make one so that it doesn't help only me but other people interested too, I'm sure there's a lot of people who wanna learn from you!

    Can I... Marry you?

    j/k but srsly I'm not sure if you're the best thing to ever happen to the Icon section or not. All those icons of cool custom models that otherwise stand bereft of them... *And So Warcraft-y*! Nearly all of your icons are incredibly fitting to the game, IMHO. You manage to do the whole "screenshot icon => beautified" thing really quite well.

    So, um... Ever consider doing (more) Trolls? :D


    (alternatively, trade hero ideas/design for icons?)

    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. : )

    "I don't know how to make special abilities and I don't know how to make scripts or triggers, I'm just some icon artist."

    I'm totally down trading my time for your time ;D

    Well if you ever need something done, feel free to send me a message.

    It's very unlikely that I would waste your time with my projects! But likewise for you, if you need an icon done feel free to make a request. It might take some time before I get it done, but I most likely will find the time eventually.

    DO IT man. Except not with him; with me. ;;))
    Great icons! Not a big fan of the blue border even though the normal Hero icons have them :p would you be able to provide a version without the blue border in the bundles?

    (Post) Great idea, but it's how you presented it (origin/cause/rationale/alternatives/suggestions) that I particularly like. :)
