Fire Icon Pointers

[fladdermasken]

Right, I need some pointers. Is playing around with light effects and motion blurs etc considered free-hand work? If so, what do you think of this icon?

 

[Dentothor]

if its a filter, its not freehand.
but the product itself looks pretty cool. But it wont at all be approved.

Started out with a lens flare, and some supernovas. The rest is done with motion blur and rotating pretty much. Why wouldn't it be approved though?

 

[Dentothor]

cuz its 100% filters. its not allowed whatsoever.

Ah, I see. Well, I had fun enough making it. Why isn't that allowed though? Makes for pretty sweet icons in my oppinion.

you can have it in a map, but you cant upload it publicly in the resource section.
We have the rule because we believe its better to do your own work instead of using someone else's. and yes, filters are the programs work. not yours

Looks like there's a few fractal brushes involved as well, if you ask me. Either way, it doesn't comply with the rules. Freehand is exactly what it says, freehand. Adding a filter is not drawing with your hand.

I agree. Strange that filter effects isn't allowed for uploading. Furthermore, anyone is free to use it if you wish. No need for credits.

filters arent allowed because it always give the same type of icons (spells/flashy effects). these are useful icons but we already have enough and moderators are promoting efforts and usefulness.

That would really suffice as an answer, I see. I suppose they look dull when you've seen thousands of them. Thanks for the reply.
