It looks amazing. You've got all the proportions and perspective down, you just need to make some small adjustments to the shade of the claws and such. Just read through the comments and make those few changes.

 

[The_Silent]

Its nice enough, and i can see its zergish, but what is it exactly?

 

[Redeemer59]

It's supposed to be the armor and the claw-limb thingies coming out of the Zergling's back.

 

[Silent_One]

This is an awesome freehand but, I have to say that there's some flaws, the two.. Claw-thingies are too tightly drawn, if you look at the model, they are slightly in from the sides and, the whole Zergling is way more grayish. But I must say this is a very well-done freehand. Good work.

-Edit- Decided to try it in-game, works fine. Only thing is that you ought to do passive to, I'd see them as the nerubian hero's passive armor enhancer too. But meh.

 

[Hawkwing]

You should have drawn the face instead of a random spot on the back. I suppose this could work as some sort of upgrade though.

 

[Traxamillion]

this doesnt look too bad..although it only uses one real shade of brown.

could work for an upgrade like Hawkwing said..or as an armor based spell.

 

[Redeemer59]

It was originally going to be a series of claw upgrades but I drew too much of the body for it to really focus on the claws. I'll see about spreading the claws out a little and making it less monotone, though.

EDIT: Ack, new BTN and DISBTN aren't uploading correctly. Hold on...

EDITEDIT: There we go.

 

[Silent_One]

Much better now. Great work.

 

[Traxamillion]

this looks much better now.

good work.

 

[Big Dub]

Clearly the claw things arent big enough, they arent antenna with claws on top, I suggest making them thicker and just go out of the icon from its back. Make one shown going in and make the other behind it. Also get a better background. Make the icon interact with its background.

 

[HappyTauren]

needs some black outlines, remember this is WC3.

 

[Hawkwing]

The glow is too strong. Honestly, I think it just looks bad overall, but if you must keep it I suggest you dim it.

 

[Redeemer59]

Alright. Thanks for the criticism, I re-did the claws, upper parts of the limbs, the central armor plate and the glow, also gave it thin black outlines.

 

[Hawkwing]

Much better. But do the same to BTN and DISBTN. PAS and DISPAS wont cut it.

Er, wait, what? Did the BTN and DISBTN not update or something? The preview looks fine to me...

 

[Hawkwing]

It's fine now.

 

[Traxamillion]

this looks alot better..although the DISBTN, PASBTN and DISPAS borders are not perfect..it is good enough.

 

[Hawkwing]

The PASBTN looks good enough, but you need to fix the DISBTN/DISTPAS stuff.

 

[Redeemer59]

What's wrong with it? Does it show too much of the icon?

 

[Hawkwing]

Download this. Put the DISBTN border over your BTN icon and see if it looks different than what you have for your DISBTN icon right now.

Ah, I see, thanks for that.

EDIT: Gah, why does the preview take so long to update? >.<

 

[HappyTauren]

claws need to be in better contrast compared to the body, and body needs more satruation. Basically, satruate the body more, and make claws almost white.

 

[FrIkY]

I think this icon should be some type of a Upgrade (not unit) and I think you should make two more icons resembling to this one

One icon would be 1.''Good'' (this one) 2.''Greater'' and then 3.''Greatest'' upgrade rank, you know what I mean?

 

[Traxamillion]

Technically the Catagory doesnt matter.

but i agree more of these would be great.

 

[Redeemer59]

Wow, didn't notice the comments 'till now... thanks guys!

Alright, I have a bit of a busy weekend but I'll get to making another 2 versions (And updating this one) when I can, which should be in about a day or two.

Also, if I were to make an upgrade series out of this, should I remove the background glow? Creature Attack, Steel Armor, etc. do not have background glows but it would make this one a little empty. Thoughts?

 

[CRAZYRUSSIAN]

I like it... 4/5

 

[Anachron]

Remove the red background, looks a bit glowy, add black instead and plz make it darker and add a few highlights to the picture.
