Fire Pack

[Elfsilver Lord]

For my Mod, I am working on creating the spell icons of the Blood Elf Phoenix Rider. While I only have two done (the feather still need shading and crap, and until that is finished, I will only show the Phoenix Tears Icon), I thought I might as well preview them here.

The texture in the middle is kinda nice, but the outcome doesn't really look good. It lacks background, the glow is messy, and the shape isn't really flowing like a fireball would be. It looks more like an orange drop of water.

Give it a better background, a glow of some sort or something, perhaps the place where the fire would come from (hand, mouth, etc.), I think that would improve it.

It looks like what an orange would look like if it was painted by Dalhi...

Update

I put a background on it, and cleaned up the edges a bit.

It is not supposed to be a fireball, its a teardrop.

Needs some more contrast.

 

[Elfsilver Lord]

Contrast? Look at the texture in the middle of the drop, that was purely created of extreme contrast. I dont understand whre to contrast, on the general icon? The background?

 

[THE_END]

Make the background a dark redd

 

[Pyritie]

Yes, the fire is too bright. Add some more darks in it.

Contrast = has both very light and very dark areas.
