BTNOrbOfFire

This bundle is marked as useful / simple. Simplicity is bliss, low effort and/or may contain minor bugs.
Just something I've drawn to test my new Bamboo and get used to it, but since it ended up this well I'm uploading it :D Don't be too harsh, I'm still a beginner ^^

Update: Added reflection to the orb and moved it with the hand so the latter is more visible.

But, either way. The part you did draw, the hand, needs to be fixed. The anatomy is off. I tried to do you pose with my hand, (use a mirror, because trying to do it with your hand facing yourself HURTS. Trust me on this! ) and the fingers would be placed more in a arch. Your fingers are placed on a straight line instead. The fingers in the middle would appear higher up than the other two. It also lacks highlights and shading, and the fingers are too thin. The effect you used doesn't fit with the hand you have drawn at all, and isn't warcraftish. Also, the effect just doesn't look nice.

Rejected. Not to be harsh, but trying again would be easier. And you can always write a pm if you need help with an icon.

At first glance i didn't see the hand on the top right, define the color of the hand to tan as a real life persons hand, then add some glow effects onto it from the glare of the orb. The orb itself looks like a vortex instead of a actual orb, i would add some sort of reflection indicating that the orb is round.

Actually that's the way it's done ^^ I'll try adding some reflection to the orb ;)

I like the idea of this icon. But some problems: same with Panda, you should add more details into the hand so even in small view, the hands will be noticed still. Make it like a shape of an orb, a pure circle with fire energy. It will look better!

Now what I like are the effects around the orb, it looks really good, magical and REALISTIC :D.

For me this is approvable with a rating of 3/5 and also +4 REP (waiting 24 hours....) to you!
