zombie2279: Good work altogether, but the bird's shape could have been more realistic.

Sexy

Looks nice, it could also be used as some kind of ressurection, or Phoenix' rebirth.

 

[bigapple90]

yeah i guess ;p

 

[Remend]

Nice icon! gj! 5/5

 

[The Panda]

Nice one bigapple, 5/5 bro

 

[MistFury]

yes a nice one

 

[aaron]

this is cool but i must say that there should be a little more shading in the bird since it hurts my eyes... but thats only my opinion gj 4/5

 

[draken koning]

no more shading its perfect now bigaple is one of the best icon creator 5/5

 

[Kimbo]

Why are people praising this? im 99% sure its a wow export. =_=

 

[Avex]

I can't find it in WoW..

 

[Palaslayer]

stop it ^^

if you go on making such good icons i will be blinded.

 

[dansaDisco]

You've caught the blizzard style very well here. Definitely fits into wc3!

Just look at the shape. Blizzard would have given it a way more realistic outlook. I'll look into it though. In the meantime, giving us a full pic or a .psd might help clearing up all doubts, bigapple.

NICE ICON i rate this 5/5

 

[bigapple90]

thanks for the comments

I turned off one of the layers that was in the way of the bird

 

[Palaslayer]

looks simple ^^

 

[Link_Iceblader]

VERY NICE! 5/5 fits perfectly to JetFangInferno's holy phoenix model^^

 

[Malcous]

Looks great , 5/5

 

[Dentothor]

the icon is beast but its just the shape of the head thats bugging me. the top looks a little too big. and it seems to be sticking out too much

 

[oh_snap]

It looks great, and the only thing I could suggest is that the bird is a bit more defined in the outline, to be able to distinguish it further from the background.

[terradont]

<--- Likes it.

It's a little blinding, but that's okay.

 

[Darkey]

This one looks like it'd be useful for a castable Reincarnation ability. Rebirth or something, eh?

 

[Thehive]

I suppose this question is impossible to answer but how can you make them so "warcrafty"?
Is there anything you think about to make them fit warcraft or do you just make something and it just happens to work great with the game icon's theme? This especially applies to the axe icon you've uploaded recently.

 

[bigapple90]

not really. i just try not to use one color for example the edge of the axe, but i guess this icon is an exception.

Ok... What tool do you use to make highlights and shadows? Burn/dodge/brushes? (Something else?)

[bigapple90]

I sometimes use burn and dodge and sometimes i use a brush set to Lighten with a low opacity. or maybe a darker/lighter color of the base color im trying to highlight/darken

Ok thanks. Really helps me. Never thought about low opacity brushes. I'm kinda new to all this.
