Pick a hero from an older Hero Contest and create their ability icons (sub-abilities not included)
- Active and disabled versions of all icons are required.
- No plain screenshots (or shallowly modified) icons are permitted.
- The icons must be made specifically for the contest. Previous work is not allowed.
- Blizzard icon naming conventions must be followed: BTNAttack*.blp etc.
- Works in progress (WIPs) of the icons are encouraged as they keep the contest active.
- The icons must be physically attached to a post when complete. (.blp files only)
- An in-game screenshot must be included with all submissions.
- A link to the hero submission post is mandatory.
- List of Hero Contests (warning, some entries no longer work, because they were uploaded on Pastebin - these entries cannot be picked):
- Judges may not participate in the contest.
- You will need to be able to provide the judge with the *.psd/*.xcf files (if you have worked with either Photoshop or GIMP) if they find it necessary.
- First Place: 45 reputation points and your entry on the award icon
- Second Place: 30 reputation points and an award icon
- Third Place: 15 reputation points and an award icon
Creativity | How original and unique is the icon? This can be estimated with the conceptual approach, the colors' combination, the technique, etc. | /20 |
Theme | Was the concept tied to the represented ability or was it too generic? | /20 |
Blizzard Feeling | Icons should be executed in such a manner that they can be implemented in a Warcraft map, compliment other Blizzard icons and replace the existing ones. How well was the previous statement executed? | /20 |
Technique | Did the technique offer a unique appearance and what quality did it result in? | /40 |
- 75 % of the winner shall be determined by the contest's appointed judge(s).
- 25 % of the winner shall be determined by the results of a public poll.
The contest shall begin on 17th of January and conclude on 17th of February, 11:59 PM [UTC].
