Pyramidhe@d: More shading and a proper texture so that i can tell it is made of cloth.

enjoy: Still has no texture.

Pyramidhe@d: Looks like bunch of overlapping scribbles. Put an identifiable sewing pattern to it or at least some sewing marks.

Pyramidhe@d: No changes made.

Here's a full pic (click it):

It's a bit darker than in the icon, because when I've put on the DISBTN on it, you could barely see the puppet, so I've made it more bright.

Oh god, my eyes!!!!! This... thing needs like a lot of shading...

 

[aaron]

how dare you submit this... please look at the other icons and think of how this will get approved... and how useless it is.

It has shading, take a closer look, well, it's weak

Godamn, my first icon! And you aren't the only user in hive, this might be useful for sumeone other, like, lol, there is a model puppetmaster, so this icon could be used for his spells!!
Dont rate resourses so negligence

 

[noob134]

this thing needs way more shading and highlights to be approved and please make the patch more defined.

 

[Golden-Drake]

The eye is great..
Every thing else --- Crap
Rework it please

 

[Tortured Souls]

OMG THIS IS SOO bad

 

[MogulKahn]

Omg.This icon is bljak...

 

[Licheus]

Please show some respect. Yes, the icon might not be at approvable standard at this point, but I personally think that we should support a member trying to make his first icon, maybe giving him some constructive critique instead of telling him how unbelievable bad and stupid you think this icon is.

I for one like the concept, and I think having a sock puppet as an icon really could be useful as well as funny if you know how to use it. I agree with you when you say that the icon needs way more shading, and the colours are one-sided indeed (maybe that could be solved by doing some kind of pattern on it, like giving it stripes or a picture of a teddy bear etc.).

Another thing that I noticed is that some of the frames are wrong. I think there is an icon layer for photoshop somewhere on The Hive, but I haven't made any real icons myself and I'm not quite sure. Maybe you could talk to somebody that knows more about how to put in the right icon frames than I do.

Please point such things out, maybe give him some advice, but please don't just bitch around, it won't help anybody to improve his technique.

Sock puppets really are one of my favourite toys and I became very happy when I saw this icon here on The Hive. If the community could help the creator to improve his work and maybe make it become approvable, we'd have much more to work with. =)

Make more shadings so it looks rounded.

 

[Narandza]

Omg. This icon is bljak...

Omg it really is BLjAK!

 

[aki15]

Icon is "govno" Badd...

 

[MultiGod]

This icon is way too 2D.

It lacks A LOT of shadings and highlights.

Try importing this icon in a map. Does it fit? I guess it won't.

But I really like the eye. The eye is outstanding. GJ in making the eye(but bad job in doing the body).

EDIT: More details sonny.
I barely can see the curves in the mouth. Shade it.
I can see the roundness in the fullpic a bit clearly, but when it's resized, the roundness became too blurry to even see.

 

[Licheus]

*Sigh*

Well, I for one hope that you'll try to improve it and, unlike these people, putting focus on how you could do that rather than concentrating too much on it's current status.

I'd be sad if we lost our only sock puppet icon. ^_^

That's a bit more what I'm talking about, give our sock puppet some constructive critique. =)

 

[RaijinSpark]

OMG, ban yourself joke

 

[KelThuzad]

Eh.. what? I don't... get it.. Is it a joke or is it real?

 

[RaijinSpark]

Real Joke

 

[HappyCockroach]

I lol'd.

 

[S.W.I.N.E]

? my eyes are burning ?
please try to improve it for the good of us all

 

[Alfagar]

Licheus, Community? This is just an icon

 

[Licheus]

Haha, I think that I referd to the members on this site when I used the word community, not the icon. ;-)

Anyway, maybe you should try to give the cloth texture a bit more of an intense feel to it, so that it won't disappear in all the red when resizing the icon.

 

[Alfagar]

Yeah, I will try, thanks

 

[serom]

Let's Play "Snake" !

 

[RaijinSpark]

i can see the improvement
