zombie2279: Further zoom in on the bird and then detail it. It's hardly visible otherwise. Once done, increase the quality of the effect around it aswell, it's rather plain and lacks sufficient color variations and highlights.

Rejected until updated.

zombie2279: Definitely enough changes made, the bird's shape looks good now. It's quite a shameful fact that the whole point of this icon (Bird of energy) is now lost. It's a bit too crowded and the details of the face are a bit missing, but I guess it's useful. 3,5.

 

[Dmazzz]

lol, i like the concept, but the art is strange i suppose.... Good job btw.

 

[The Panda]

To much blue everywhere, can hardly see the bird.

 

[Dentothor]

you can see the bird fine but its just way too cartoony
do some more shading to make it look a LOT more realistic and not too flat

 

[Mobilize]

its supposed to be cartoony, I'm a cartoon maker, so, well, its what I can do decent...
AOP I've noticed you comment on all new icons, that actually helpful, thanks

[OnkelManfred]

maybe you could change the backgroundcolor and add a glow or something

 

[Zombie]

Note that too cartoonish icons usually don't get approved unless they're of really high quality. Mentioning that the object is supposed to be cartoony is not an excuse for lacking detail, as you see there are quality factors taken into account when such icons are made aswell.

So, about the icon: Use a bit stronger contrast, the outlines blend in too much with the background and afterwards try to give the object (in this case the bird) some more details that should decrease the blurryness aswell. Highlights are only to be seen on top of the wing, which is not enough. You will have to put more emphasis on detailing the shaing aswell. Don't forget to detail the glow, make it more visible and use a better variation of blue.

 

[Dentothor]

finally a mod comes up and says it. its been an excuse for a ton of the past icons

 

[Mobilize]

lol it was not an excuse, I just said its supposed to be cartoonish.
if you have anything else to say (like highlights and brightness/contrast) Ill gladly remake it.
"its way too cartoonish", really, how am I supposed to change anything if its supposed to be cartoonish?
Thanks zombie.

[The Panda]

Looks good now but it might need somthing else but not to sure what that is.

 

[Mobilize]

I'll remake it and fix it, should be updated in an hour or two, working on multiple things.
Remake'd, the wing is still out of shape, I'll do that afap.
Thanks,

The head is still rather blurred, along with the left wing, which is not in the foreground. The glow is also a bit generic, use more color variations, I pretty much liked the blue glow with black background. That soft red-pinkinsh color scheme is meh. You're improving it nicely though.

 

[OnkelManfred]

nice but make it a bit more detailled

 

[Mobilize]

the color change 'll be up soon,
I just gotta look into what a birds wing looks like, it seems I forgot...

^Mobilize

 

[Zombie]

The head is still too crowded and lacks highlights. Change it so it can somewhat harmonise with the wing part.

 

[Zombie]

Taken back to pending by request. Waiting for the update.

 

[breebree123]

too cartoonish indeed

 

[Dentothor]

this is still pending? good god!
fix up the realism on this icon!!!

 

[The Panda]

This looks much better nice job!

 

[Mobilize]

dent, breebree, go look at an ingame bird.
aop, thanks

 

[Dentothor]

ok now it looks soooooo much better!!!
just fix the glow to make it more... energy-ish.

but very well done moblize

 

[Mobilize]

ah it wasnt updated when you saw it?
it brought it back to update it,
anyway, the thing is that the spell this is for isnt enegyish, even if the name is bird of energy, its more of a chill ice spell, lol.
but thanks

 

[expazatrix]

I like what I see, nice job! 5/5

 

[Mobilize]

sigh,
well, to zombies request I guess I have to remake the effect in the background.
