Pyramidhe@d: Well all the details are really too small to make out properly.Zoom in and make the details more obvious.

Pyramidhe@d: No changes made

Got a big pic?

 

[The Panda]

Needs too be bigger, seems like a simple line. More detail.

 

[tee.dubs]

the main emphasis at this stage is actually the background, the the trident and lightning just seem to be a little bit in the way. MAKE THEM the focus, make them more in-your-face, crop it up and let the background be just something to lighten the mood. then work from there.

 

[AlienArsonist]

What you need is a close up on the tip of the trident my good man

 

[Golden-Drake]

my opsion:
Zoom alittle

 

[Titanhex]

I zoomed it in I'm still working on it atm, based on a friend's suggestion. I should have a better version in a day, give or take.

I did my friend's suggestion. It looks great on the large version, but as you can see by the button example by it, not so good as an icon. I may have to leave this icon as is for now, until I get some more suggestions.

I'm thinking of redoing the lightning, and making it less condensed. I think it's overwhelming the picture. Lightning seems far too static to be in this mass of quantity.

now its lookin' like staff

 

[Golden-Drake]

my option is that you make the weapon another color, currently it blends with the lightning and the BG

 

[8512590215848]

also lighting gonna make an great shadow effect, add some dynamic lighting to the weapon and make it more aggressive. Also in my opinion the electric chains better lookin as a background and so. an huge electric strike as a background will make your icon special. try it )

 

[13L4M3]

Hmm... Lightning could be used often in two colours... Yellow N Blue...
In this case when the trident is also blue they kinda smelth toghether and it's hard to see what it is...
I dont think you should use so simulair colours...
Zoom in and more details mate. Kind of good anyway.

 

[Titanhex]

I diluted the lightning in the big picture and changed the background to be a bit subtler. (Review the picture a post or two back)

I'm taking into consideration redoing the lightning with a new color based on the suggestion of 13l4m3. It's a pretty good suggestion.

Dunno when I'll get to it though because I'm going back to programming for a little bit, so I can finish this map I'm creating.

 

[Azsure]

Try to zoom it a little, and the center lightning is not connected with the others two. And the Disabled buttons looks a bit blurry. Fix it and it would be really useful.

 

[kola]

hmm. full size is rly great. 64x64 is so blurry and little.

 

[13L4M3]

I'd still say that the trident and the lightning has to simulair colours that they are smelthing toghether . . .

 

[Titanhex]

This is a (Very Ugly) rough draft of it with yellow lightning. It's of course not done, but I figured I'd give a light preview and show what it would look like under this condition.

Another option for lightning color would be purple as well, which may or may not happen. Do you think the yellow will work better?

 

[13L4M3]

Hmm that icon.... ( AWESOME ).
Still can't see why you're using the same :d...
I'd choose the trident to be some metal colour with some yellow lightning at the 3 spikes connected with that wirweling lightning infront.
Well i'd use that icon instead... great job !

 

[T4COBELL]

I think its looks great, but might be better if you fix some things.

a) The lightning jumping away from the trident is unrealistic and contributes to the "blur" once you shrink it.

b) The lightning is way too overused to see detail in 64x64. Try to jump away from the trident more than follow it. It would help difuse the brightness and use the background better.

c) The yellow looks nice, but I would suggest a shade of purple. Yellow seems kind of bright.

Other than that it looks great.
