Kimbo: Goodjob, I can clearly see a form/shape going on here, and I believe it fits into wc3 fine The perspective is great and flows nicely. Approved and works ingame.

Mind posting an WIP of this? not to jump to conclusions but the art style of the 3 icons you've uploaded aren't exactly what you call consistent

It's hard to detect what's going on in here. At the first glimpse, it looks like a cyclone, but between two water sources.
The colors do belong to the same side of a color circle, but they aren't gradient in a smooth way, but rather sharp, which gives an impression of an icon not having a focus spot.
The edges are crisp, and the icon is quite pixelated, leading to the overall sharpness of the icon, which rarely looks good.
Apart from that, the icon lacks sharp definition and a little bit of cartoonish style, to make it get the same feeling like basic ladder Warcraft icons.

I actually think that the passive looks war-crafty (maybe it needs more "glow" to each line).

But the BTN looks odd. Just because the lines go into the borders and it just doesn't look good.

I think it looks fine, that's what I said.

The BTN looked odd because its a mass of lines blending into the border.

this isnt bad. i like the idea.

i just think that the outer blackout in the passive icon should be smoother. and the btn shouldn't have such a strong black outline while it already has the border. but i think it's approvable. keep practicing and uploading stuff

Thanks all for the feedback. I added a little shadowy border to the original icon to detach it from the border, so it doesnt look odd because the lines goes through the edges. And, then, the passive icon border became bigger because the icon itself has a darker border
