Sin'dorei300: U've overdone it with the shading, now it looks..
09:24, 25th May 2014
Sin'dorei300: With the actual shading, the nose seems to be in another perspective.
Reposition the tusks(mainly the right one) and fix the shading on the bandana.

Sin'dorei300: Approved. Commented.

Good start. Please correct your link and put this link directly to the model: http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/models-530/zuljin-93083/?prev=search%3Dzul%2527jin%26d%3Dlist%26r%3D20

Much better, but don't make the edges black. that makes the icon look like its from some random cartoon effect. it needs a lot of improvement. i won't rate it just yet..

 

[-Grendel]

pretty good, his eyes look derpy though.

The edges are not black, It is darkened color.

 

[Streak]

well good icon for the model here 3/5 because you never direct link to the fitting model

 

[A Void]

The edges are not black, It is darkened color.

Don't darken the color, he looks terrible with darkened edges.
You should redo the nose, the nose looks terrible compared to most war3 troll icons. You still have to improve, but at-least you are making progress.

Please explain the nose ? What's wrong ?

 

[sonofjay]

DAMN STARE.

Anyway, why does the eye on the right side on BTN have a different position than the others?

 

[A Void]

Please explain the nose ? What's wrong ?

The nose is too 'long and sharpened up'. He looks like Pinocchio..
Make the nose more smooth and war3 troll-like. The eyes also don't match the position he is looking, one eye is looking in right the other in the left, he looks very creepy with that stare. Make the eyes more realistic rather than just a red dot. As I mentioned you have a lot's of potential to learn these things, you can improve this icon. Also when creating an icon use more sharper and smaller brush. A normal icon gets created in a day minimum, yours= 15 /1 hours.

 

[Ginufe]

Huh, Genin?
Since when is not WC3 and WoW based on cartoonish style. Your point is invalid.

This is not enough cartoonish for you?
Oh well WC3_Icons

For me, the icon fits WC3 style very well. But yeah just the nose should get improved a bit.

You misunderstood something, I only said that eyes needs to be improved too. Since this is a unit icon not a spell. Your point is invalid and false, spell icons can be however they are designed to be, they are not used for actual units because they don't match the detail on normal unit icons. I said that the icon should not use darkened edges because it makes it worse. The eyes and nose needs to be remaked, while the darkened edges should be normal colors.

 

[Heinvers]

It looks a lil bit better now

 

[Stanakin]

That blizzard icon looks ten times better because even though it's cartoonish it's got proper shading, which this icon doesn't.

Also, you may want to look up some tutorials on making materials/textures (or look at reference pics /real life stuff) because right now everything looks like it's made of plastic, instead of the material it should be made of.

 

[Heinvers]

yeah, that seems to be the main issue now. I think he overdid it a bit with the highlights and shadows.

I already knew that, But I already reduce the highlights ...

 

[A Void]

Suggestion, you should make his eyes actually red with proper shading. That will increase his look, since he had red complete eyes in WC2 icon. You should also improve lightning and shading, but it is much better now! 4/5
I will increase rating once changes are made.

Edit: You should also improve the tusk by making them a little bigger and taller. Also it still looks like the tusk is coming from the cloth.

 

[Sin'dorei300]

It's slightly better, but now it doesn't fit with the model.
He lacks tusks and the hair is slightly different, look at Mr.Goblin's great icon for inspiration:

 

[MiniMage]

This new version looks a little like a goblin. Neat.

 

[Avex]

I really dig the new one.

 

[Sin'dorei300]

Now that u added tusks, position 'em more natural and do somethin' about the hair to look more like the model.

 

[BLazeKraze]

For now, I decided it to "unfit" to the model ....

 

[loktar]

nice, looks a lot better than before

 

[Panda]

Nice update.

 

[Deleted member 219079]

Oh god, he seems so realistic and evil now Very well done!

 

[Roland]

Realism Level: 500 (Awesome.)

 

[Sin'dorei300]

Make the eye stand out more, it's undefined atm, and less visible comparative to the rest.
You overdid it with that rim light, it stands out too much.
In this case the rim light serves to separate your subject(from the bg), not to steal attention from it.


Edit: I'll add the rating after you improve the eyes.
