enjoy: The orcs arm and the axe looks like a tree, and the lightning is way to thick and not bright enough. Overall, it's very hard to see what it is, and I myself couldn't see it before I saw the big picture. You will probably need to completly rework the icon. I am currently in school, but I can help you with how you should make it more obvious what it is, when I get home if you want that. In that case, just pm me.

Um. What is this exactly?

 

[Titanhex]

Pretty gewd for Em Es In Paint

 

[Mainywc3sear]

very bad, need work a lot
probabily rejected

 

[Darkmoon Hero]

Needs to be enlarged, and it needs more shading. A background wouldn't hurt.

 

[kola]

hmm. i think u should use another art program to do this. check for Gimp on google.

 

[Newominus]

Make sure to be clear what it is in the icon, I cant see the weapon and it took me a while to figure out where the arms where.

 

[T4COBELL]

I really appreciate the feedback. I also appreciate you not telling me to give up. I'm working in GIMP now, so I hope my next icon will be much improved.

Edit: How much did it improve?

i like that this has a very clear concept, you can instantly recognise that there is an unarmed hand intervening with a weapon that is ceased by some kind of force. on a technical note, there's really no saving it for warcraft use, but 30 years ago it would've been pretty cool in ASCII dos games though. Get gimp and remake it and it'd be pretty cool

EDIT: oh everyone has already told you to get gimp and you are using it, embarrassment <.< , anyways good luck!

i can make much better in MSPaint, for real ), i had some expirience to draw in MSPaint, so check it above

 

[bLu3_eYeS]

Im pretty sure it will get rejected...It's far too easy and a bit blurry ... or is it only meh ?0.o

 

[T4COBELL]

What size would you suggest I start with. I can't imagine creating an image in 64x64.

EDIT: oh everyone has already told you to get gimp and you are using it, embarrassment <.< , anyways good luck!

Hey! I haven't redone this icon in GIMP yet. I'm just playing with the features. :O

 

[Rmx]

What is it ? i can't figure out the icon :S

Hmm i hope you do alot better in Gimp, just update the icon as soon as you can

 

[T4COBELL]

Here's my first attempt ever at making an icon. I used MSPaint and irfanview to create it. It features a human disarming an attacking orc with lightning. Please give feedback and ways that i can improve

I described it in the description. Sorry if you can't see the detail very well.

 

[Titanhex]

Pffffft! No one reads descriptions here on Hive.

 

[Sunchips]

It acutally look like a jellyfish having a brwal with an eel or something sorry MS paint is not very good for making wc3 icons

 

[T4COBELL]

I've discovered as much, but i think my first attempt in GIMP is much better.

 

[RaidonGod]

agreed.

need much improvement. but don't give up. everybody can learn, even you.
no really.
keep up and put in some effort.

 

[T4COBELL]

I appreciate the encouraging words. I've worked a tad on the remade version today and here's the results so far. Any suggestions/improvements to be made?

 

[tee.dubs]

shading definately. its good on the sword actually, but you need to get the contours of the arm more defined and more aggressive. but of course, a good start! i like the potential for it.

 

[T4COBELL]

Ya i wanted to get both arms where i wanted them before going into detail. Thanks for the comment. =)



Edit: Next WIP. How am I doing?
