Sin'dorei300: The shading is lacking, especially on the tusks, which also needs to be defined better.
The background color isn't the best.

Sin'dorei300: The first version was way better(though still not good), the actual one looks worse.
The shading is very important in the icon processing.
I can't teach u to make proper shading, u can improve by reading tutorials, observing and especially, practicing very much.
This icon(and all of yours)lacks shading, and pls remove the annoying white dots.
Also, the background still needs work.

Sin'dorei300: Nice update, but it still needs some small improvement. Awaiting an update.

Looks cute.

 

[Heinvers]

Well, I know you love nature but this elephant seems a bit depth-less:/

I know it looks cartoonish and I don't know if this is good .

Next time don't say that! You must believe in yourself you know

 

[Binsu]

The elephant object looks detached from the icon maybe because of the quality difference. It's either you change the background or the elephant itself. But anyway, keep up the good work.

 

[Sin'dorei300]

Show me some WIPs.

 

[BLazeKraze]

Since the moderator is strict , I already prepared that ,

EDIT :

Hidden

 

[Sin'dorei300]

BTW, this is kinda similar to how I see your WIPS. (Including the one in your conversation with Sin)

This.

 

[BLazeKraze]

So what do you think ?
Doubt ?

This is unfair, the other icons was accepted without any questions, but When I upload an icon . The moderator has a doubt ,
Please trust me

Oh come on. Don't complain. And don't make those faces, it makes you look childish. Just work more on it.

I love the update, but I will like it more if you stay in Step 6 and remove the glow.

 

[BLazeKraze]

hmmm . .. ..

 

[Heinvers]

I'm gonna ask what's with that FORCED glow?

 

[Sin'dorei300]

Why he has white dots all over him?
Is he ill?

 

[BLazeKraze]

I don't know .

 

[Heinvers]

Necro-bumpage!

You know it's quite rare to see my old posts and think: what the hell was I smoking back then? xd

Yeah, now the icon looks a whole load better,
it just needs further definition on the right side (viewers perspective).
Maybe a stronger subtle rim light could help attain that effect.

You really improved a lot since last year man, keep it up

 

[Wasabee]

It looks better than the old version. Keep working on great icons!

Minus all the hate and drama, this looks like a fine icon now.

 

[InfernalTater]

Wow. Quite a drastic improvement. Good job. 4/5.

 

[Sin'dorei300]

This is a great update.
I suggest u just to make those tusks a bit more visible and, maybe, to sharpen up a bit the whole icon.

I already tried to sharpened it , but it will looks grainy, i don't know why :/

 

[Sin'dorei300]

Okay, just make those tusks a bit more visible.

 

[UgoUgo]

One thing I would like to note it that avoid making a habit of using strong light outline on every edges, it would make the subject look plastic/glossy, which is not very suitable when rendering materials with low reflective index, which in this case, the rough skin surface of the elephant.

Now does this mean using light outline is bad? Absolutely not. It can be used to indicate multiple light sources from different directions. Or if you want to use it. Make a smooth transition (but still retaining contrast) between the light and dark colours.

 

[Sin'dorei300]

Imo, the tusks should attract more attention than his skin.
Tinker a little more with it.

 

[Splub]

I wanted to say that this is a very cool icon, great work, God Bless!

 

[Sin'dorei300]

I don't see any changes compared to the previous one.
I suggest u, in the future, to display both the old and new one, for comparison.

 

[Gumberbunbder]

This has a good Warcrafty feel about it. Much better than using the old bizarre wc3 mammoth icon. thanks
