Review,
------------------------------------
1:Quite good again, but the detail is lacking add some blood from the mouth or eyes.
2:Looks a bit pale maybe clear it all up a bit.
3:The bottom neck of the beast seems to be gone (the random black area) fix that to show his neck.
------------------------------------

 

[Godslayer]

well u kinda got it "random black area" there is no neck, and there is never gonna be one^^ have no idea what that should look like... head + neck.... STRANGE
no just jocking but i realy have no idea how to place a neck there

 

[AbstractCreativity]

Wow, epic icon is beast 0.o
But tbh I think it would've looked a tad better with a set of horns. ^^ Like a goat. ^^
Anyways, 5/5 +cookies

Really nice one.

Im just making sure, so ok nvm then.

That glow should be orange/yellow/red or something that fits the color scheme. The blue really doesn't fit at all, and makes the icon look ugly.

I'd say a bit more contrast would make it look more like the other WC3 icons, thus making it fit the game better.

 

[Godslayer]

nanana you have no idea, i had before a red glow and i was realy lacking contrast, and then i had the idea to make that blue + red glow, and in my mind it looks much better now, but if you whant i can post some diffrent glows.

and yeah in high rezz it looks better then in low rezz... i realy focused on the high rezz. but in the end i couldnt do anything about it.

and btw: if you are ment to be a great artist, you should know the nice effect a descent placed contrast has.

But the problem with this is that it isn't decent contrast. You should try adding more green to the blue.

Furthermore, I forgot to point this out in my above post: It's very flat. I'm not sure if it's the beast drawing that makes it look flat, or the glow that makes it look flat, but either way, it looks flat. You should experiment with shading and lighting and perhaps making the glow look less like a background behind a 2D image and more like an actual glow.

 

[Godslayer]

the flatness is because of the pic itself :/
i tried to kinda overlight that with that contrast... u should have seen how ugly it looked before...
well better u dont ^^
anyway, im gonna try to improve this icon when i got some time

 

[~Void~]

I did a shitty job with the glow and removing your glow, but here's an idea of what I'm looking for as far as lighting.
