Corrupted Mage

[Rence Kristoff]

You sure this is an icon? I mean, is it processed?
Still, doesn't look really undead to me, just kinda like the acolyte, an older version.
Preview is a bit too big to be an icon, and if this is an icon, it's amazing that it didn't stretch out.

 

[Belendor]

Well, processed as in I could upload .tga files. 64x64 px dimensions?

I am kinda new to drawing Warcraft style. I think it at least looks inhuman, if not undead.

It can't stretch because I guess I put the preview image to be the full image, not the cropped one. I will fix that now.

 

[Rence Kristoff]

Look at my avatar, you see the silver square around it, icon previews are supposed to have that, at least I think so. Don't get me wrong, this is still a pretty good icon.

 

[Belendor]

Oh? Damn me. Is there a guideline or tutorial I should follow to process my icons? I wasn't aware of that at all, could you lead me?

 

[Rence Kristoff]

First download this- The button manager. http://www.hiveworkshop.com/resources/button-manager-v1-8-2.66317/
The perfect tool for icon processing.

And a suggestion for this, work more on the lips, they look like a black hole in the icon. And that green-ish glow on the left side, add those as well to the right side, it might look better.
Lookie here

Here are the processed ones.

I guess, I have done it properly now?

But, somehow it got all noisy and blurry when I exported from that button manager. That is weird.

P.S

Added some colors to fit in the new concept. Rendered a little more, highlights and lipless.

 

[Rence Kristoff]

Well there is something wrong, with it getting blurry and all, have you seen what I attached here, and when I meant giving the green-ish effect, it goes to the whole icon, like there is something evil stirring up in front of him.

 

[Belendor]

You mean the green hue cause the bluriness?

 

[Rence Kristoff]

No, that green "hue" I suggested for the whole icon as an evil effect. I don't know what could've caused that.

 

[Belendor]

Hm okay. Anyway, I cropped a little more so portrait looks better. I realized portraits are quite in close angle. Guess, I will be moving on to new stuff

 

[Rence Kristoff]

I really don't have much to say anymore, Good Luck to you.
And I'm guessing you WILL work on this again once a moderator sees it.

 

[Belendor]

Okay. I am trying to learn here, what is wrong with the icon?

 

[Rence Kristoff]

For now I see nothing wrong, let's leave this to a moderator now, shall we.

not too bad for a first icon.

work on your shading, try to give him a visible light source.

try to also give the face some proper form. the way it's drawn right now makes it look like it's composed of 2d shapes. google some references of faces, and work on that. the nose is particularly flat-looking.

set to awaiting update
