enjoy: Even though this icon is a corresponding resource, I would like you to make the following changes:
It's needs definition and contrast. Looks plain and flat, and needs better shading.

Sin'dorei300: Still needs better definition and better shading.

Sin'dorei300: No changes made. Awaiting update.

It looks so blurred, doesn't it ?

But matches the resource, although you could add neutral colour instead of the red, as not every player is red, as you also can see on the model preview.

 

[takakenji]

you should set the tc to blue cos all the human units have blue and make it less blurry

 

[Kingluis]

try sharp tool

 

[HateCrew]

Yup, its really blurry... It's my first attempt at doing some drawing and painting on pc, and like an ultra noob i did painting of footman for the icon with mostly smudge tool xD I just watched a photoshop painting tutorial on youtube so i now know how it's supposed to be done properly so i'm gonna try and do it again tomorrow..
I forgot, here is the original picture in case someone wants to see it

Nice, fits very well.

You said scratch? It's a paint over as I can see. Define the icon more.

I took my avatar footman portrait and looked at it for reference while laying out basic full colors and painting, i don't think that is considered a paint over...By the way is painting over allowed? it would be so much easier if i could paint full colors directly over my avatar pic (because it would have structure more similar to original) and then paint...

Screenshot icons are allowed only in 1-1 ratio - one screenshot icon for each corresponding resource - and under the condition that you are the author of the corresponding model/skin/spell/item.
If you miss to link your model as a corresponding resource when uploading your Screenshot Icon, it will be rejected.
Note that corresponding models may be units as well as buildings and items

This. Screenshot icon is allowed for one model.

looks better, i vote for aprove since it fits the model!

(don't forget to change the DISBTN!!!)

 

[Chaosy]

Useful but look blurry.

While I'm at fitting resources, I'd like to point you out on this re-vamp I've recently done, that can serve your icon really good as well. Give love to screenies!

It looks good, but needs stronger shading to fit the Warcraft 3 icon style. Your first icon still blows any of mine away. I'll wait for you to update it again before I rate it.

That really makes a difference!

I suggest u to make the texture look more metallic.
Atm, the armor doesn't looks good.
U could take a look at some tuts(https://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/2d-art-tutorials-281/, Armor tutorial) and armor pics.

 

[JM78Dynamo]

How about this?

 

[Apheraz Lucent]

A dandy trick to make metallic textures is to use a lot of dramatic shading - as of current, your icon has highlights, but has very little to no shadows to compliment those and also "balance" them out.

These could help you out:
