Well yes, after making my diamond, I was navigating in the Tutorials section looking for creativity and found that tutorial, the lightning looked so similar to mine that I already knew people would talk about it, but I also think that the lightning you see in the tutorial and in my icon are very commonly used. Well I can grant you that I didn't follow that tutorial, If I did I would give credits.

Yep, originality and creativity is missing, it's just a common diamond. But glowing ;). I decided to make one because I didn't find much diamond icon resources in Hive, and well I needed one for my map so I made one from scratch.

PS: Even the shape looks like the one in that tutorial :hohum:

It's very good indeed, and I doubt it's copied and pasted. You certainly deserve rep for this one. =)

Probably because it was a random resource around some unknown webpage...

the shape is similar to the one in http://www.wc3c.net/showthread.php?t=103626 but lesser scretched and it was all painted in black, so I just took the outlines and did the inside triangles. I can't give credits to the shape because I don't know who the hell did it, I just googled for diamond shape or something found the image, pressed see the real image, right clicked it... save as... used its outlines to design mine and vuala.

By the way... Thanks Licheus, very appreciated.

Edit: I think the shape was took from the adobe website, from the custom shapes section I guess

I've been looking in google images, after skipping 14 pages of diamond images and things that nobody wants to see except perverts, which its I'm not, I found the damn diamond shape I used. http://img6.imageshack.us/img6/6922/photoshopdiamondshapeby.png

btw in your montage, above, if you look closely you can see a difference between my diamond and his diamond, leave the 2 layers separated and play with opacity.´

PS: Woot my firewyrm evolved.

"Well, I did the main shape with the Photoshop Polygon Tool, I've been doing some random triangles until I got the diamond shape. Then, to the lightning I used Dodge and Burn tool, so... yes I can say I freehanded it"

Either way you're lying. And how odd, it's in imageshack. What's to say that YOU didn't upload that image?
