enjoy: The smoke is c'n'p (copy and paste), and the icon needs to be atleast 50% freehand drawing. Draw the effect in hand. Post your next icon, in the texturing forum, to get peoples opinion, before uploading it in the icon section.

Wow. So good for your first icon.

 

[X-OMG-X]

Very good as your first icon, but it is a little blurry to me.

Yes, i noticed somewhat. But i actually don't really know how to fix the blurry
So i took what i had

But i guess i can try to fix it somehow... tips would be awesome

The skull doesn't seem too look like a skull.

I like it. A few things for mentioning though.
Have you noticed that this is blurry? It very hard to see and i had to squint my eyes to be able to see it. I thought it was a poisonous mushroom with a red stock. Try to define out the main idea so it is not so blurry.

As far as shading and highlights goes, this is one of the only shaded and well detailed first icon i have ever seen. Well Done A first icon can sometimes be a good one eh? ;P

The Background (BG) is good. i like it. But as i had said, because of the main idea being so blurry, it blends in with the BG.

3/5 Its of good shape and shading, but the blurr really lessens this icons awesomeness. Just improve and explore! I can see a lot coming from an icon artist like yourself!

Yeah... as mentioned above i know, but im not used to downsize and the factors for icons so i don't really know how to fix it good.

Oh thank you very much appreciated!

EDIT: Could the blurry-ness have to do with the 350x350px original size? I need suggestions to improve!

 

[Dentothor]

i dont think so. i do MY icons at 256 x 256 and they are Very clear.

 

[ithladir]

I guess i should make the outlines more sharp against the BG then?


Other ideas in mind for this pic:
- Changing the upper lip part

- Maybe highlighting will give it a boost?

- about the mushroom thingy, ill prob make the flesh (which it is ;D) sharper and less flesh strings but more contour.

Edit:

Here is a modified version unminimized and the one now uploaded.

Sorry but that's a bad comment according to me, i get nothing from it except knowing it may not look like a skull Please tell me how to fix it if you are gonna pose me such a problem.

 

[Dentothor]

I STILL think the BG is a bit more clearer than the skull. making the skull look more blurry than it should. but it still is looking much better.

I now know why my icons get blurry, its becouse of my BLPConverter. I've tried with other formats and they end up like they should like my signature.

A new converter needed for greater progress.

Just save them as JPG/JPEG and use The icon Borderer program, it will open JPGS/JPEGS.

"The icon border program"? that doesn't say me much
Could you give a link or the name of the program?
