Sin'dorei300: Nice surprise!
The eye needs to stand out more and we'll see.

Sin'dorei300: Make the eye brighter and i approve.

Sin'dorei300: Changes made.

 

[Forsaken]

Wow, really good icon! 5/5

 

[Heinvers]

For a 1st icon it's quite nice you know. Keep working Kam

 

[InfernalTater]

This is pretty cool, it fits the model quite well, definitely good for your first icon.

5/5.

 

[Golden-Drake]

The eye that is placed all to the left hs vanished - such a shame {4.9/5}

 

[Sin'dorei300]

U ruined his eye.

 

[Heinvers]

That can be fixed. It's just a bit ruined.

 

[Chen]

Very good icon! 5/5

 

[Kam]

U ruined his eye.

How would you fix it? I thought it stands out more now.

 

[Chaosy]

the second eye is barely visible on the icon anyway, I suggest you do something about it.

I dont really agree with the mod either, I dont see anything wrong with the eye now? but then I again I cant draw so my opinion is worthless

Wouldn't that distract the attention from the central eye?

 

[InfernalTater]

What the hell did you do to his eye?! It was perfect before! Change it back, change it back! It's so horrible now! Seriously, that color does not fit at all! It needs to be white, or green, or yellow, or red... pretty much ANYTHING OTHER THAN SUCH A BRIGHT BLUE OR PURPLE!

You had a perfect icon before you updated it.

Edit: I'm glad you faded it a bit; it was just way too bright after that first update. It looks good now.

 

[Sin'dorei300]

How would you fix it? I thought it stands out more now.

To make it stand out, u need to add proper shading around the eye.
And change the eye to the old one, cuz the current one looks awful and doesn't stands out at all, it's darker and the hue of the color clashes with the rest.

 

[Kam]

Updated again. I reverted the eye. Please keep in mind that the eye is TC on the model, and in my project purple is the racial icon color for this unit. Attached is my reference image.

That said what should I do about the shading?

 

[InfernalTater]

Beauty is definitely not in the eye of this beholder.

For the shading, do pretty much what you did with those lines, except with faded edges, then go over it with a little burn tool.

 

[Heinvers]

Indeed. Keep working on it Kam. The eye is good now. It just needs to stand out more as Sindorei said.

Would you link another icon resource that has a prominent eye so I have an example to work from?

 

[Sin'dorei300]

Better, but u need to give depth to the eye, look at the model.

As Sidorei said above^^
These are some examples for eyes. Notice how the shading is applied!

Better?

 

[Sin'dorei300]

Better?

No, worse.

 

[Heinvers]

WOW. What a pleasant surprise
Edit: the update I meant.

 

[ExMortis]

I see no issue with this icon. it has depth, it's Recognizable: needs anything more???

 

[UgoUgo]

We don't want it to be recognizable, we want it to be incredible

 

[Kam]

Thank you for the help in improving the icon. I left all the WIPs in my gallery so you could see the transition.

 

[Heinvers]

WoW. Better. Good job Kam

 

[InfernalTater]

It's better, now.

 

[sonofjay]

Spooky stuff. Good job.

 

[Lord_Marrowgrath]

[Mr. Gameplay Knowledge]

Good job.

 

[MN Lahmar]
