I can take that critique, but i have to state this. Blizzards icon upgrades really lack variety. Just look at them a second, the biggest difference is actually the colors and the glow
If icon makers lack anything its definitely not imagination, without it we would not have the abillity to paint anything out of our mind. Without imagination, most stuff on THW would be Cnp or work using original icons as templates. (That don't mean it have to be original).
We may lack the abillity to think orginally, but thats a different question. Especially since we make icons that are meant to be used, not meant to be art!
Thridly... Why!:
1: Imagen a rusty marine armor, you can't really used somthing rusty when walking on an other planet... I made mine underequipped because rusty/damaged armor wasn't really an option.
2: Well equpied and all, space suits is NOT normal armor, it need to be high-tech all way through.
3: over equipped, high-tech or whatever you call it.
Edit: 2/5... Thats somthing you would give cnp... You may thinks it lacks varietation, but that score kills me! I can't seriosly be that bad at iconing. 2/5 = lacking, my icon don't lack do it?
