zombie2279: Zoom in on the orb and try to detail the middle, somewhat similar to the ones in Warcraft. It looks really lacking at the moment.

zombie2279: No changes made, but it seems to be approvable.

It`s... flat. Too flat. Also the lighting effect isn`t good at all. Make it more visible. Also add some colors to ball.

EDIT: Overall the whole icon needs more definition.

 

[Yearight]

Now that you point it out.. I used way too little details when it gets scaled down. Thanks for comment.

 

[krisserz]

I like PAS, but as I said make the lightings more visible and should be better.

 

[Yearight]

Added full size picture.

 

[-Berz-]

Big picture looks good, but icon doesn't.

Make sure that you work on the immage with same height an width like 500 x 500

As you see now orb should be like O but it's 0.

Also work in smaller resolution 256x256 or something simmilar.

 

[NearbyHermit]

The PASBTN looks cool!

The others look flat because of the frames!

 

[krisserz]

You`ve chosen wrong size of big picture.

 

[Yearight]

Thanks for comments all I'll remake the picture and update soon.

 

[krisserz]

You can simply cut the big image to square size.

 

[Yearight]

Well I want To make less black in the picture and bigger lightning effects. I might ruin the icon more by editing it.

 

[-Berz-]

Much better, still try to make those "bolts" random, now looks sort of simetric ^^

 

[The Panda]

Looks alright, maybe add some highlights in the backround.

 

[~Void~]

It doesn't look like an orb. It looks like a thick glow. Maybe try adding some kind of definite spherical shape to the middle.

 

[krisserz]

This one looks nice, but as ~Void~ said, not like an orb.Anyway good job!

 

[Yearight]

Thanks Added a sphere.

 

[krisserz]

Now it`s not orb. It`s more a ball ;P

 

[Yearight]

Do'h... I'll study orbs more then. Keep in mind that this is my first icon. Ever. ;D

 

[krisserz]

No proble. Good luck for future. Btw it`s pretty good like for first icon. I`ve never uploaded my first, coz it was... horrible xP

 

[Yearight]

lol, I'm not sure why, but I just felt like giving icons a go since I like drawing. So I just downloaded gimp today and started.

I think my next will be a Disco-Jellyfish.

 

[The Panda]

Orb looks quite weird now, it doesn't really go with the whole backround image.

 

[Yearight]

Okay, for now it's a magic crystal ball to see into the future with some glow and lightning around it. 'Till I update it.

 

[Cover]

Orb in the mid it's too pixelate for me. I can count pixels around it. Also imo you should work on lighting effects, those are so unreal.

 

[NearbyHermit]

Thanks for comments all I'll remake the picture and update soon.

Awesome,this new one really looks like a ball (Orb) !

 

[Yearight]

Lol, thanks! xD

 

[krisserz]

But more like a ball ;P

 

[Yearight]

Yea.. xD

 

[Cover]

But don't care to much about us. ;D We are just noobish ppl ;D

 

[Yearight]

Yea I'm too pro for all of you, I should change to epicwar.com!

 

[krisserz]

I think you should do the lighting look more chain, make smaller the shine of the ball, and make darker the shine of it.

 

[NearbyHermit]

Can you find a fast usage for it?

 

[Yearight]

For what?

 

[xxdingo93xx]

Duuude you rock x)
Now you also make lightning icons! You could become my manager *lulz*

 

[Yearight]

Thanks xD

 

[breebree123]

though simple. .its very EPIC!

 

[Yearight]

Thanks

+ Nice lightning
+ Nice color scheme
+

? -None-

- The orb needs to lose the black outline
- Zoom in on the orb

I like this icon a good bit. A good icon with good execution. It has a nice color scheme and fits WC3 well. Although it could use a bit more shading and it needs to lose the black edge around the orb.

 

[TheHunterKiller]

It's okay i think. Those images are not working.
