zombie2279: Great work. Hoping to see the series continued.

 

[Paladon]

A further tier "4" or "2 and a half" is possible if i get some ideas.
I already tried the drawing of a dragon and a demon, both did not match at all.

 

[Palaslayer]

demonic shields, eh?

 

[~Void~]

I'm not gonna review the other ones because they're crappier. I am, however, going to say that making upgrades like this is meh. If you look at the Blizzard techtree upgrades, you'll notice that it isn't just a simple icon that gets new features with every upgrade, it changes color, shape and everything, but it still stays somewhat the same.

Now, as for the icon itself, I find the top of the shield to be kinda messy. The horns could look sharper, the shading is a little messed up as well (top right corner is the light source I assume, you might want to make the background brighter up there as well).

I would like to see another version where you zoom in a little closer to the shield (not TOO much, but a little).

3.5/5 for now.

 

[Panda]

May need minor detail fixing up, but nice icon man.

 

[Squidle]

"Take it, Hold it, Love it."

Guess where that came from.

Nice icon! I love upgrade IConz.

 

[~Void~]

I took the liberty of editing your 128x128 image to show you what I mean.

You could put a light source like I did if you want, but I only really did it to help me do the shading.

 

[Paladon]

Practically, you simply add a light splash on the top right corner and a dark splash on the lone left down.

To speak out the words, you advice me to increase the contrast between top right/left down in the shadings and to generally darken it?

Make some srsbsns shadows on the left and some brightness on the right. Maybe you could try making a little bloom effect on the highlights as well.

 

[Paladon]

Made an upate based on a mix of zombie's and void's suggestions.
F5.

nope. he also added shadings to the shield and some minor changes on the gold parts of the icon.

 

[Paladon]

Hmm. No. ^^
But this does not matter at all.

 

[Malcous]

Looks better now.

Another cool icon made by Paladon , good job.

4/5

 

[bigapple90]

sweet job. how about some engraving designs ?

 

[Maverik Léon]

Great look and much types.. and this three times - that's what I want.

 

[Potluck]

as a tiered icon they look ok, nothing special 4/5

 

[breebree123]

wow! has nice shadings!
5/5

 

[krisserz]

Great Job!

 

[SkriK]

Oh.....my....god! 10/5

 

[~Void~]

I gave it a 4 since you made improvements ^^

 

[cookies4you]

well Paladon, Ilolaturshields. they look so funny and cute, but yet again awsome and dangerous. still, its a 0.03/(1 x 0.02) which is over the max rating. still, its cartoonish yet 3d, i find this very useful. I demand Director Cut for this icon!

 

[Misha]

to tell the truth.. this one is my fav, the last one is a lill bit too epic
