Pyramidhe@d: This isn't good. The point that the icon is trying to achieve is unclear. You colours are rather poorly chosen, they neither reflect the military and rather looks garish. That is to say, that they are really bright and cheerful and un-serious to be related to anything military.

WIP, please.

 

[Krl70]

blurr... well, i haven't got a wip, but i got the layers, and i got big version...

here is the layer's anyway

Layers

(jpg can't handle transparency)

 

[crimson fire]

what is it?

 

[Krl70]

have you ever seen the ranks in the navy? It's kind of like those, but only some of them, like a couple of These
but with some twists

 

[crimson fire]

dont you mean these? and if the green etc behind the stripe is the uniform, the navy's uniform usually isnt green and when it is its a bit more blueish/green that looks more like army uniform :/
[/ATTACH][/ATTACH]

 

[Krl70]

yeah, if you look at the others i made, some of them are like that.

 

[crimson fire]

hmmm this is an idea, make a big blabk stripe going across (left to right), then put that yellow stripe on the big black stripe crossing it and around the black is where u put the army green

 

[Krl70]

O=; didn't really get that fully, maybye il get it tomorrow when im not dead tired...
i guess il go to bed in two min...

 

[crimson fire]

something like this (i just made this extremely quick using paint just to give you an idea)

 

[Pyramidhe@d]

people mostly recognise the arrow shaped rankings, not straight ones.

 

[The Panda]

The green things in the background look like leafs or something, make the background look like you earned that rank by maybe adding a bright shine coming from the middle.

 

[Hugomath]

It's First Lieutenant.

Maybe this could help:

 

[Zealon]

hmm, the background is a little distracting.

 

[Krl70]

okay il go ahead with new BG, update in a moment

EDIT:right... the bg isn't changing, il try again
EDIT: there

 

[Zealon]

Ok I really like this now, it looks alot better; voting for approval.
Can't wait for the next one.

 

[Krl70]

yeah, thx, if it's approved il make the rest with the new bg, but i think it's a little empty in top left corner, so maybye minior adjustement coming up

 

[Titania]

Can you make a heart shaped one for me :> 5/5

 

[Krl70]

look at your profile now =)

 

[Lightskin]

In my opinion it doesn't give the feel it is a military rank. It looks like a magic roman 1 (I)

You should make it look like glorious, it's a military rank! Make a glow BG or something.

 

[Krl70]

well, actually that was the first one i got, then militarty suit, and then glimmer, but i guess il do as you and army-of-pandas said.

I shall fare to the GIMP and recover The Radiance Of Victory!

 

[Lightskin]

that could be another nice idea, trying to make the bg the suit itself that wears the insignia. uh..

 

[Krl70]

might be, i just finished another bg, take a look at it

 

[13L4M3]

Okay pretty good i guess, but it doesn't look so "Navy" or "Military" but what do i know .
Tryied to do something like this a while ago, check http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/members/186597-albums2895.html if you're interested, will maybe give you some insperation .
Even though pretty good.

 

[Krl70]

actually i'm going to do those ranks if this one get's approved, but i liked lightskin's idea about drawing a suit with the rank on

EDIT: updatng now

 

[13L4M3]

Yes indeed good idea, but the background you're using now looks like someone vomited.
Give the background more time and improve it alot.

 

[Krl70]

ok, il do it when get back home in a couple of hours

EDIT: Updated

EDIT: hmm... nothing is happening...

EDIT: updated... again, and... nothing...

EDIT: okay, i checked, file changed, but preview didn't, i guess it just takes a moment

EDIT: Long moment...

EDIT: there, looked better in gimp tho...

 

[Pyramidhe@d]

this icon is getting more and more worse every time you update, tbh
have the bar straight, not curved. i dont know why chose to make it curved. The background should be dark and not colourful to reflect that the military is not cheerful and jolly and happy

 

[Krl70]

noted, il reupdate, again... Any more ideas before i go to work?
