[M0rbid]

I could judge, but I fear I am not qualified enough.

you lost your position for a reason. I'm sure our new icons mods will do this job.

Thank you so much for the help you have done for my improvement in icon creation! I really appreciate that Pyra! P.s. I never hate you ) Ok only at a start )

EDIT: I'm apparently a DA noob. How do you add friends and such?

You add people by watching them, so you know what they do and stuff

 

[Sorceress]

Oh shush you people.. the icon section is only as inactive as we ourselves make it..
People leaving shouldn't be the reason for you to leave as well.. We should wait for the whole thing to just calm down and then see what happens.
Also, for those wondering what is happening to THIS contest, read this:

[Apheraz Lucent]

Deceived for what? Because few of you think that there are no people left to judge the contest properly?

I have gave a lot to the Arena and the site to give up or allow such situations.

 

[Iconer]

Now i love this site
Nice staff, and so good people
Hehe.. LAWL

I turn away from hive for a day and when I come back, mods get banned and demoted. Sadly :S

But getting on topic; does these demotions and bans disturb the contest? I mean, it would be a damn shame if it got cancelled or something :V

But here is another icon if the contest is still going:

 

[Skycraft]

You won't have a dedicated icon mod (the only one who can approve them is enjoy) and you'll be lacking contestants (and maybe judges) but by all means keep going. I think this opens up a great opportunity for someone else to start winning these sort of contests instead of seeing the same guys up there.

The work you guys have done is fantastic.

 

[Apheraz Lucent]

This contest is not deceived, and the clock is ticking.

Tick. Tick. Tick.

 

[morbent]

ooo... there's plenty of time mod... I mean, 11 days :\... I even made some icons and the idea of my fifth icon, but if you insist...

I was too lazy to make them BTN and DISBTN... but I will. I have some more details to add.

 

[snowman990]

You should add red glow to the horns at the hatred icon, right now it look a bit weird.

 

[JollyD]

JollyD - final post for icon contest. Thank you people for reviews, recommendations and moderations!



For the Gnoll Mechanic model by Weird Human:

 

[Sorceress]

Wow, those are amazing Jolly!

 

[Apheraz Lucent]

@morbent,
Too much colors that, weirdly enough, seem to compliment each other. Neat work, but might needs some special effects to make it really spicy.

@JollyD,
You need to match the colors of entire set a little better than that. For an example, you can make the cog's color light blue in the background at second icon, which will then have a set of icons with 'Two combine color - red - light blue - two combine color'.
Other than that, the last icon seems overpixelated.


Anyways, who are judges that still want to judge this?

 

[morbent]

... won't you be judging? You're a moderator now.

 

[Sin'dorei300]

What represents this???

 

[JollyD]

What represents this???

The russian method in repairing tech ) Just crush with full power into a random point of machine, 50\50 to repair something )

 

[-Grendel]

... won't you be judging? You're a moderator now.

he's a contestant, he can't judge

 

[morbent]

Oh... yes. Well then... NFWar is the only one :|

 

[Jolly_jumper]

@JollyD Rly nice dude! But i would make the firey triangle it's ultimate cause it looks so different from the others that if it were to be "equal" to the other icons it would look out of place, but an ultimate is more likely to look different since it is....ur ultimate Also the fire looks so intense that the skill should be something strong imo

I still think ur unit icon looks a bit too dark though

The Russian Method icon looks cool, but i don't think it shouldn't be a distorted version of ur model u would be hitting with it^^ Should rather make the thing u hit look more mechanic, maybe just a bolted flat piece of metal which could represent a control panel for something mechanic?
Anyways rly GJ my namebrother

 

[Hemske]

I would be willing to judge, or at least assist NF in the judging if people would find me acceptable/suitable as a judge.

You are experienced enough with icon making i would say, but it's not me whos up to decide this :3

 

[morbent]

Guys, one of you told me to add horns to my Hatred passive icon so I gotta ask you:

or

?

Which one is better, the old one or the new one? Without or with horns? I'm quite confused here cuz some people tell me that it has to have them and others that it shouldn't be representing my model, but the Hatred itself. It should be just the essence of Hatred, not Mephisto.

Thank on the ideas ^^ my namebrother )

T-Up on you to be able to judge ^^

With horns, add more detail to your icon

 

[Apheraz Lucent]

Elainiel, you are more than capable of judging this, I will recommend you to Phar.
We need several judges per contest to avoid bias.

 

[Sin'dorei300]

[morbent]

A lil' update

Removed the horns and the pentagram of the Hatred passive icon.
Added a little detail to the Lightning ability.
More white lines added to Charged Bolt, it sucks more now.

 

[Xian]

Hatred is too blurry in my opinion

 

[morbent]

Yes I have to do something about that.

 

[Sin'dorei300]

Little update:

What do u think, guys?

 

[Hemske]

The glow really made that spike icon look alive is my opinion, the contrast turned out great.

 

[Sin'dorei300]

Thx man!

 

[Jolly_jumper]

@Sin'dorei300 wow dude rly nice! Ur flail icon looks f*cking great now! All ur icons do But if there was anything i'd try to change it would be to reduce the outlines on the left side of ur hero on the last ability icon u got there, just to make it look more natural considering the light/shading. And did u try to center the axe some more? Cause right now it looks a little empty, also would be nice to see the whole axehead Anyways awesome job man!

 

[Panda]

Elainiel, you are more than capable of judging this, I will recommend you to Phar.

Ive judged one other icon contest before, not sure which one that was.. but if you guys need one im here.

 

[Jazztastic]

Little update:

What do u think, guys?

The glow made the flail icon wooooorlds better. I like how your icons generally have a yellowish glow in the background, even through the subject matter is different (ale, axe, flail, and holy shizbiz), it makes it all look like it belongs in a set together.

 

[morbent]

Updated:

 

[Hemske]

So... I've been approved as a judge, thought you guys wanted to know.

 

[Panda]

Judge at your service. I will be watching over this contest till the end, i wont review any icon till the end.

-Cheers

 

[Cakedog345]

A nice surprise: amazing works !
A pleasant surprise: the judges !
Seeing here a lot of awesome icons, i predict a hard work for you, Judges!
I hope all participants will complete their work on time. By the way - the deadline remains the same?

 

[Apheraz Lucent]

Deadline is still the same, Cakedog345.

 

[Amargaard]

What about the frozen arena thing? :O

 

[Apheraz Lucent]

We have just enough time to go with this contest before it starts, I hope.
Will talk with Phar about that, thought.

If judges of this contest are not participating in the Legendary Event, we can still have this judged even if it starts, resulting in results being displayed in the middle of the event.

 

[-Berz-]

So i still got a week left, nice. I just hope I'll pull my shit together and start working for this

 

[Hemske]
