Hmm let's see... this is... hmm... it's alittle hard to see the mummy...the blue thing
is coming out of his mouth?
Could you post a big picture ?
What should you use this icon for btw ? just give an example.

Whats the blue mist coming from his mouth? but overall this is awesome!

 

[Pyramidhe@d]

thread reopened. got no idea what happened the first time.

 

[NFWar]

Redrawed the icon. Need new moderation nao ^^

 

[Pyramidhe@d]

same story. darken the bg so the mummies stand out.
instead. this time however, the little ankh symbol. that is currently the strongest image right now. Flat black against a lighter bg of the mummy bandages.
Your subject MUST be the strongest image on an icon.
if you want the ankh to be strong, i suggest you make that as the subject. which means you should increase its size or zoom in more on it.
if you want the mummies to be the subject, make the ankh less stronger as well as darkening your bg(which was my original moderation)
if you want both ankh and the mummy wearing the ankh to be the subject, i suggest you get rid of the smaller mummies and focus entirely on the middle mummy and the ankh.

I have defined mummys from BG with outline alredy
If I will darken BG, ligh on mummy will be too strong and it will not look nice :/

 

[Panda]

Looks good now.

 

[Pyramidhe@d]

the BG is light and the mummy is light. if everything is light, nothing stands out. nothing except your ankh which is completely black.

 

[NFWar]

Pyramidhe@d: Make eyes more brighter/visible? That will be the last thing.

Omg you are confused in your words and dont understand what you are saying
You are saying: darken BG, everything is too bright.
Next time you are saying: bright eyes, bus you was saying what image is too bright... bright + bright = overbrightcrapy shat.

you have confused me compleatly, because even you dont know what you want.

 

[Pyramidhe@d]

i understand perfectly what i am saying

i originally asked you to darken the bg. instead you added some ankh in the middle.
i asked you to darken the bg again because both your bg and mummy is bright. you darken the mummy instead
so now i ask you to brighten the eyes so it contrasts with the darkened mummy. is that really that hard to understand? its not a matter of darkening everything or lightening everything. the problem was that everything was light. making everything dark does not solve the problem. having a good amount of contrast to vary the importance of the objects in the images, that is what we are trying to achieve here.

 

[NFWar]

Seems like enjoy and you have very diferent views on icons. She ask me to define that I did here, you asking me to balance contrast. No sence to defent the icon or explain something...

 

[tjordell]

Pyramidhead, this is just perfect as it is i think =D

Yari (NFWar), Awesome dude! Keep it up!

 

[Jaret]

I think it's perfect. Surely better then half o'the icons here on the Hive.

 

[tjordell]

Jaret, 100% true post you said there =)

 

[HappyCockroach]
