Sin'dorei300: It looks good and wc3-ish, but it needs some improvements:
The glow needs to be smoother, less solid and a bit thicker (in size, like in BTNSpiritWolf).
The inside of the mouth could use some shading.
Also, the overall icon -except the glow- could be a little bit more saturated, like Blizz's wolf one.

Sin'dorei300: Warcraft-ish and useful.

[Dreadwing]

I like your icons, especially this one. GJ!

4/5

 

[Hantoo]

This is Very good O.O, and Extremely Useful

 

[The Panda]

The shape could use some work, the tongue/jaw area seems a bit off too me.

 

[Kingluis]

I (with respect) disagree with The Panda, for the disproportion of the jaw area fits the fact that it is a spirit

4/5

 

[Sclammerz]

Neat icon.

Fantastic, an excellent replica of the original Blizzard style, and sure as hell useful.

However, I must notice that the original ladder Spirit Wolf icon has a faint bluish touch to the icon, around 25% on the shadows, and very gentle bluish glow around the wolf itself - that's what makes the icon pop, and removes consistency of the purple color from the icon, making it not look plain more you look at it.

Also, Panda made a good statement with which I agree, the upper jaw part seems to have a little off line, and I'm talking about the curve where the jaws meet. It makes the snout look flat, and causing a domino effect of removing the focus from the light source, which is nose and eyes area, downwards towards the jaw, which also features a shadowless tongue. Now, if you take a look at some references, you'll notice that the snout very, very rarely distorts in shape other than nearly a perfect straight line ( https://www.google.rs/search?q=bear...h&sa=X&ei=MhAKVbONEcXsUpjrgHA&ved=0CAcQ_AUoAQ ).

Apart from those tiny issues, I do love this icon and I'll go ahead and shoot it for 4/5. Excellent work.

A little tip for following work - if you base an image out of an artwork, there is a great deal of chance something will look off or wrongly proportioned, especially if you're looking at one posture, and drawing another one. Use real life references to save you from falling into the trap

10/10 op great

 

[jonbon29]

Very cool can be use to summon spirit wolf.

 

[Sin'dorei300]

The glow still needs a bit of work:

And the shading inside of mouth still isn't correct(when shading ur bear think about where the light comes from).

 

[pick-a-chew]

Epic icon!
