Icon Contest #12 - Spells on Different Units

[Hemske]

Kola, That windwalk looks very rushed compared to your other icons. It's quite blurry as well, it haven't got the same crispness your icons usually have.
The head of the fire breath guy have some really weird anatomy going on.
But the thunder clap and the immolation icons are simply gorgeous!

 

[Heinvers]

I mainly hint towards the mouth a bit, there's something odd there.

War Stomp for Naga Royal Guard:

That's awesome

 

[lokharke]

War Stomp for Naga Royal Guard:

I thought he dropped out of this one, but anyways, is good that we are getting more icons. Looks very vibrant.

 

[Vinz]

The last part of the tail looks weird, but nice icon.

 

[Just_Spectating]

The last part of the tail looks weird, but nice icon.

agreed,
something about the end of the tail doesn't look like part of the tail to me

 

[A Void]

War Stomp for Naga Royal Guard:

Yet again, his icon looks poorly compressed. Sin'dorei300 were you even watching what I wrote to you, a suggestion not to do that. In my opinion the art looks great, but I would need to take the large image and convert it myself If I would ever use any of your icons. No offense but you are terrible at converting to .BLP.

 

[rulerofiron99]

You are being rude.

"Sin'dorei300 were you even watching what I wrote to you"
->
"Sin'dorei300, did you try what I wrote to you?"

"No offense but you are terrible at converting to .BLP."
->
"Please try a different program or different settings when you convert"

What? I am writing not speaking. Your intelligence just amazes me...

Now you're just being silly. On forums, writing to each other is practically the only way we communicate, so it's fair to use ideas and terms from verbal communication.

In case you didn't understand, "please tone down your voice" means "please use softer language".

By insulting his intelligence, you're just being petty, which is rather ironic considering that you're trying to berate his intelligence.

Quoted For Truth.

Literally could not have said it better.

hehe, this is the troll-siest thing i've read here.

@Sin'dorei300, were you thinking of making an entire naga set? hence the siren charm and Royal guard stomp

I would love to see you implement the trident in an icon, or murlocs?
Or could this just be coincidence and you plan on making a more diversified set of icons?

@kola, that windwalk.. Doesn't strike me as windwalk at all. More like some burst of speed?
maybe use different colors, a hint of blue and some way to make it feel like it's transitioning into an invisible state, in my opinion could turn out better.

 

[Sin'dorei300]

Thx guys for your comments!

@Just_Spectating: I didn't planned to make a naga set, it's a coincedence.

I wasn't rude, I was straight-forward. I did not insult his intelligence, I said that it amazes me. It has two sides of a one story so to say, you can never find out what I truly meant unless I confess.

 

[Vinz]

If you talk to us, what matters is what we get to understand, not what you hide inside.

 

[A Void]

<Offensive statement here>

When will the poll start?

A suggestion doesn't have to be accepted necessarily.

What he uses is a sharpen filter, which virtually every single digital artist uses to retain as much detail and original contrast as possible when drastically scaling down images (1024 -> 64 for instance). Your preference doesn't necessarily have to reflect actual facts and general opinion, nor would anybody have to abide to your suggestions.

Also, your passive-aggressive tone in your further posts will lead you nowhere good. Do mind how you converse with others on the forums as hostility and insults in any form will be sanctioned.

Satyr's Spell Steal V2

 

[Kyrbi0]

Ooh, that is pretty dang good (much easier to tell what it is). Maybe slightly less magicky-stuff in it's palm might help... Maybe.

 

[Sin'dorei300]

Coz some of the contestants couldn't finish their entries 'til the deadline, i propose to extend the deadline from 15 August to 20 August. Do u agree, guys?

 

[Kyrbi0]

Yes (said the non-contestant).

ofc.

 

[Just_Spectating]

inform Blood Raven!,
his icons could use some polishing

 

[Heinvers]

Satyr's Spell Steal V2

Oh my, that spell steal looks cool xD

 

[JollyD]

i need some ideas for the last 2 spells xD

 

[Heinvers]

Well, since you're making a Satyr set ( ;) you could try something like this:
A Storm bolt (that mountain king hammer throw spell) and Avatar or something like that (just my 2 cents) .

 

[Vinz]

the Satyr Spell Steal looks cool but I can barely understand what it is. D:

Maybe more definition.

 

[Sin'dorei300]

Contest extended to 20.08.2014.

 

[JollyD]

We think same xDDD

 

[JollyD]

Satyr Metamorphosis

 

[Heinvers]

wow, like an avatar but better. I personally like the color clash on the face.

 

[JollyD]

Inbetween Metamorposis and Avatar the Meta is much better personally xD

 

[Chen]

Thanks! I really need the extension because of a problem but Im gonna work on sll in Sunday or Monday and ready to submit. Next icon is Arthas Life Drain since Im rushing.

 

[Vinz]

That definition is lovely.

 

[Sin'dorei300]

We think same xDDD

Satyr Metamorphosis

Don't doublepost, pls.

 

[Rui]

Meeerge.

The cleaving attack isn't bad, but doesn't look too interesting. Spell steal also looks good, but I'm not sure it looks too satyr (good for me and my Dreadlords, lol). Metamorphosis has the same problem, but it looks more satyr. Perhaps if you put the horns closer to the forehead and make them "more vertical"?
My apologies for going out of sync with the other opinions.

 

[JollyD]

Now it looks better?

 

[Just_Spectating]

i think the horns are a little too close together, but their orientation looks better, more satyr.

 

[Rui]

Indeed, but perhaps they should be dark gray? They could have a liiiittle reminiscence of the purple and green, but they're too blended in with the rest of the face.

 

[A Void]

Now it looks better?

make the horns light yellow or gray. Outline your character from the background just a little. And reduce some of the effects, right now the effects are a bit too much. Horns are also too close to each other, it looks like a mutated satyr. For more visualization I suggest you to look into Blizzard 's icons. Edit: Make the skin natural and more blue/golden, the background is really merging with the face. It needs proper details.

 

[Legal_Ease]

NOW COMES Legal_Ease and hereby presents his weak attempt at entry whereby admitting to not understanding or knowing the rules at all, presents these the following ICONS for your viewing pleasure:

ARCHIMONDE - Spells - - - Charm - Dust Cloud - Mana Burn - Infernal Form

Well, charm is nice but such a feeble word for the mighty archimonde? I suggest mind break or sth like that. Dust cloud bugs me a little but then again I can't pin-point the reason and also like the colors u have chosen.

As for Mana Burn, it doesn't give any man burn feeling for me. But something like empower, summon, etc. Infernal Form? He summons 2-3 infernals with his ulti then goes to infernal form? Just conceptually contradicting nothing more. Just the name.

I might not have chosen the right names. Mana Burn could be siphon mana or something like Howl. Infernal could be something like immolation, I picture him turning into fiery Archimonde. Dust cloud is supposed to be like how he destroys Dalaran, but it could be used like dragon hawk's cloud. Mind Break is a way cooler name then charm, I just wanted to name them something so that the judges would understand what type of spell they were meant to be.

Freehand 0%? Anyway, nice icons. Some of them need more polishing. Too bad this contest is so stupid. You have a skill at making nice icons without the need of the stupid freehand rule. +rep

Edit: If you expect them to be included in the contest, then let me say that this contest requires freehand 100%.

Nope, not all freehand. I don't know the contest rules. All of my Icons involve some c&p, even if the original has been skewed beyond recognition. Thanks for the compliments though!

Oh I'm sorry then, Its okay if you did not knew. The rules in this contest require icons to be fully freehand. You can view earlier pages regarding that, I also quit from this contest because of that damn rule. Since your icons contain c&p, image snapping and filters they cant be included in the contest thus they don't count. For more information regarding this subject you should discuss in the staff forums.

Lol, someone's bitter...

LegalEase, your presentation & flair for the dramatic is impeccable. Unfortunately, yeah, gotta go with free-hand here. Definitely some interesting art, though it's hard to see it with in-game icons.

 

[Chen]

Arthas Life Drain!

 

[Vinz]

Mana Drain could look good. And don't forget his hair, it is awesome.

That's no Arthas!

Hmm, looks like a husk from the shape you've done now. Keep on working Chen

 

[JollyD]

Reworked horns and overall more sharpen
