BTNBurningArcher

Just scrambled the colors of a few icons for fun, but this one was just too cool not to be used. May be useful as icon for BurningSkeleton (Hidden model of flaming skeleton archer) or for a spell, anything.
Original icon is Frost Armor,so i do not own the icon.
Hope this is useful.

EDIT: I'm trying to remove the armor and spike to fit the Burning Archer.

EDIT: I'm replacing the icon with the modified BurningArcher icon, if you can tell me which one is better/more useful i'll decide if i should replace the icon or not.

No offence, mate but I3lackDeath already uploaded a way better icon with the same theme and idea in mind:


Well, this icon is very Warcraftish compared to BlackDeath's icon.
I'd approve this out of usefulness, but would have a low rating and be sent to Blizzard Entertainment.
Edit: Plus, BlackDeath wanted to know HOW Blizzard did their icons, while Nealdros wanted a fitting icon for the burning archer.
Some minor things to point out too:
The burning archer doesn't have metal shoulder plates
The burning archer also doesn't have spikes on it's non-existent metal shoulder plates
If you know how to edit those, I think this deserves an approval.

I will try removing the spike and the shoulderplate, the spike i'm sure i will make it in about 1/2 hrs but the shoulderplate will be tough, 'cause the model should have a bone shoulder i'm not sure i can draw (i'm an engineer not a designer, i'm really bad at this). Give me a couple of days and i'll get it done somehow.

Does this look better?
If it does, shall I replace the others?

Even for a recolored icon this is somehow useful but I agree with UgoUgo that recolor icons are somehow being spammed or being overdone.

This can be approved (but not an icon moderator) but if you want to have better results in this. Try giving something more in it instead of recoloring it. Look at I3lackDeath's icon as a basis but do not completely copy it and you'll see that he made some considerable changes and thus making it better.

But you had a nice start and maybe in the future you can make some icons completely drawn by you. Good luck!
