Sorry, I'm not an artist. I’m just trying to improve what I have by virtue of my skills. These are original icons. They were such in the alpha version only smaller.
I drew a pixels of rectangles up to 64x64 squares and applied several photoshop filters. Full pack of icons that are not included in the warcraft 2. If some of them are of poor quality, I can simply remove them. If i redraw them it will lost original wc2 spirit.

Due the recent change of rules we'll have to ensure the decency of every new icons, I'm afraid I cannot let the lower-quality ones to slide in.
I'll list out the one needing to be improved/removed depending on your take.
BTNOrcSkeleton - Generally too confusing, I have yet to understand its structure, can you provide me the original? I've attempted a search on the link you
provided but couldn't find a matching one.
BTNOrcTrollDeastroyer - For unknown reasons to me, you decided to use the one with smaller resolution
instead of the better one
. Scaling it up forcefully has created lot of unnecessary pixels, it looks dirty, clean them up, apply some highlights on their respective area, refine the messy pixels with pencil tool and move the ship to lower position so we can have better look on its sail instead of just sea waters, or, simply use the better one as base.
BTNOrcWolf(s) - Once again, it seems like a downgraded version from the original
, you should keep their shading and highlight so they don't blend in with their background.

It is because the icon is not from the finished warcraft 2 but from the Pre-Release alpha demo. I took it from video. (time 13:13)

Yes, they're much better in terms of visibility now.
The others are okay, still low quality compared to average icons as mentioned, but for the sake of Warcraft II feels, they'll get a yes from me.
More opinions are welcomed, what do you guys say? @The Panda @PeeKay

It's better, but there's still quite a lot of unnecessary white pixels around the object/ on the sea.
No, the old one has better vibrancy with highlights.
Try increasing the brightness a little.

I agree with you with these statements as long as he does the edits you provided then we can change the authors up.

Honestly, those icons are mentioned in posts above are so crazy low quality that i've never ever give a chance to be approved in icon section. And as we can point that warcraft 3 modding is literally three and half people working on projects and even less - still play, i think these icons are useless, due no one will ever use them in thier projects. That is my point of view.

Thanks for the quick responses, it's appreciated.
After having some talk here and behind, I've decided to put this into substandard mainly for their unfitting, aged quality and they are resources taken from another game(WarII).
News is we'll be getting a new section for ripped resources sometime in the future.
Note that people can still access to the substandards on the icon section, they're not reject/restricted.
If you have any question, Azazzello, feel free to ask here or use the Admin Contact.
