zombie2279: Incredibly lacking. The proportions would be somewhat correct, but the face is really distorted thanks to the blurryness and the pixelated characters this icon is given. Tone down the lips and add contrast to the nose, don't forget to change the hair and detail the hair.

Rejected until updated.

Blood Omen... put face at center!!!
plz

 

[Chief-Oblivion]

Yeah, I didn't think about that when I made it... I was just screwing around without thinking about how the border would cut it off. I am working on fixing that right now.

...Updated, face is now centered a bit more and fixed some coloring...

...Updated, The lips are a bit better looking (to me) also added some slight detail to the hair...

...Updated, added a few strands of hair flying around to give the illusion of her being scraggly, also fixed some of the colors...

...Updated, Redesigned the hell out of the colors and shading...

...Updated, Added more to the image so that it fits more in the passive icon...

...Updated, Fixed the hair AGAIN...

This was made with simply a 1 pixel brush tool. First one of my icons that I didn't use filters.

 

[NFWar]

Meaby get it up a bit too? Head changed form... why so much?

 

[Chief-Oblivion]

Lol because I didn't size it down before I put it through button editor, I just added more to it, when I shot it through button manager it squished it a bit, but this looks more like I was trying to get it to look like so I'm happy with it.

And sorry, getting it up would mean I would need to start the shoulders, not sure if it's worth it, I know it looks like crap with passive but I would expect this to be used as a unit icon, most units don't turn out with the passive icon.

 

[Darkmoon Hero]

Looks decent.

 

[Chief-Oblivion]

Yeah, I can't really figure out what is wrong, it looks... Not sure but it looks wierd...

 

[The Panda]

I don't like the fuzzy hair, i would make the hair straighter and then sharpen it all up a bit.

 

[Cthulus]

The hair is laughable, but the face is exotic and refined, something I'd expect on any sort of Elf, even the traitors of the Underdark. Great for any D&D, RPG, or Fantasy map that utilizes the Dark Elves or Drow. 5/5 Highly Recommended

 

[Chief-Oblivion]

Well, I am fixing the hair right now. It's pretty hard because during my edits I ended up resizing it to icon size, so it's large pixels. Though In my opinion I used it well finally getting the hair to look like hair... Sort of. Updating in a moment.

...Updated... The hair looked better in photoshop D:

Fixed the hair again, looks a little bit like hair now.

 

[The Panda]

Yeah i like it now, i don't know what else to add though.

 

[Chief-Oblivion]

Yeah, That's probably about as far as I can go. It still looks wierd to me but I don't think I can fix that, it might just be the colors. Well, I am willing to try anything you suggest as long as it's not "impossible" or if it'll look gay.

 

[The Panda]

Hmm well since the ATC and the background with it looks weird in that square form you could make a blue mist in the background and then just brighten it all up. That's all i got for now.

 

[Chief-Oblivion]

I did the best I could on the background, not sure how I would go about making mist. As for brightening it up I kind of like it dark seeing as how it's a "dark" elf.

 

[Darkmoon Hero]

It has definitely improved.

 

[Chief-Oblivion]

I am currently working on a male drow. It is going to take a while but I have alot of time at school to work on it tomorrow. So I could have it done at some point tomorrow.

 

[TheHunterKiller]

I think the hair needs shading.

 

[Palaslayer]

is it a nightelf?
quite a good job on the face but what about making it a bit bigger?
and you might want to fix that glow
also, i'd recommend to change the hair one more time, by adding some thin black lines to it (thin!!)
else, add some more shadows, for example at the ear.

 

[Chief-Oblivion]

Lol I was trying to get those "thin" black lines in there, but like I said before, I saved it while it was resized to 64-64 so you can't really get thin. That's why I didn't make the lines in the hair too dark.

Working on this male drow too, it's going to take forever to get it to this standard but here is what I have so far. If you have any suggestions go ahead and post, don't suggest something stupid that I haven't added yet solely because I have only been working for about an hour, what is on this one will be on my male but it will be a more masculent look.

Yet again, i have only been working on it for about an hour if that so don't expect a masterpiece, I will try and make it look much better than this one. Don't bitch about how the lines are, I fix them as i go. ;D

 

[Dentothor]

same as the other

 

[Deuterium]

Well I'm sorry to say it's not that well drawn :s no offense.

Well, good luck improving
