Creativity: The capacity to implement things that have never been seen before and are quite unique. To a lesser extent how rare the elements used are.
Utility: How well the resource functions in game, both concerning fulfilling the roll intended of it and how cohesive it is with other resources, including the default in-game ones.
Technical Note: How well artistic tools and fundamentals are used such as brush work and color theory. More or less an excuse for me to use artsy-fartsy lingo.
o Creativity: 4/5
You threw leaves, sticks, vines and other vegetation in around the border. These look quite different from the default icons while still maintaining a practical shape and size. They do look quite similar to the in-game night elf UI though.
o Utility: 5/5
Whatever few extra pixels these take up is hardly noticeable and in a pretty solid spot to do so, if anything it makes the image shape within a little more interesting. On top of that these fit very well with the Night Elf UI, so there's that extra level of fitting in with in-game content. The foliage seems a tad bright though, would be nice if it was a little darker and less saturated overall, it may not be lime green but it's pretty close on some of those borders. I really do like all the disabled borders though, the noticeable shift in coloration to appear a little less lively fits with the motif very well, and the colors, saturation, and tone are very appropriate for those.
o Technical Note: 5/5
The vines on the Passive border look a little messy, would be nice if they meshed with the background a little more and didn't stick out quite as much. The standard BTN you have in here is by far my favorite, and very well done. The color choice and detail work fits the purpose of the icon border very well, being quite interesting when looked at alone but serving to create and nice complementary atmosphere with what is placed within its bounds and directing attention to that image instead.
o Total: 14/15
