Icon Contest #13 New Theme Poll

[Sin'dorei300]

Okay, guys, here's the poll for choosing Icon Contest #13's theme.
The poll includes the themes that were the most demanded.
Vote wisely!

Btw, the poll is multi-choice and will close in a week.

 

[Razosh]

It was mentioned by some people that my opinion might have less value on this topic as I'm not partaking in the contest. Therefor I just wanted to vocalize that I voted for "Animal Instincts" and "Vanilla Icon Recreation", do with that information what you will.

 

[Footman16]

I don't see my suggestion up there! This is an outrage -_-

Just kidding, nothing up there that particularly caught my eye but I voted for what I suppose would be pretty useful.

 

[SpasMaster]

Would love to see attributes as theme! Tbh, I was looking around for something new when it comes to custom STR/INT/AGI but with no results. All choices seem fun though.

 

[Strydhaizer]

My suggestion is having the lead! ^_^

 

[Shadow Fury]

I don't see my suggestion up there! This is an outrage -_-

Courage Footman16, my suggestion has also been thrown in the rubbish

Well, I'll have to opt for other themes. I voted for Elemental Skills/Item and Mechanical, the ones I deem most useful.

Fate... the one I repute least useful (Upgrades & Tech) is the one with most votes at the moment (along with icons for DC models). Good that I am not a participant then.

 

[MasterHaosis]

I voted for Director's Cut and Icon recreation

 

[Kyrbi0]

As a Non-Contestant, I voted for
Mechanical, Goblin, Vanilla Icon Recreation, Upgrades & Tech, and (of course) Trolls.

Those are the coolest/most useful/most Warcraft-y ones, IMHO.

 

[Maximum_Evil]

Deadly Sins is losing D:

 

[PublishedShadow]

So after the results are in next week, will the overall poll winner be the next contest or will another poll with refined options (top 3) be set up?

I'll start the contest with the winning theme of this poll.

 

[PublishedShadow]

What if there is a tie =)

 

[Sin'dorei300]

We'll see.

 

[Footman16]

What was your suggestion?

Also, if there's a tie I might consider changing my vote to whichever out of the tied options I like better, if that would be an acceptable solution?

 

[Justicebringer]

I know making multiple icons for the same theme could
be monotonic. But there are no item set icons in the game, and I havent seen
any in the icons section (surely there are some) yet they are essential for
rpg styled maps, my vote goes for item sets, for the greater good.
By the same logic I think primal sins are an unlucky choice. We would
get 99 versions for the same subjects, + the usefulness of sin icons are also in question.

DC model icons is a both useful and interesting theme, but its likely there will be
some overlaps for the created icons. Its fine tho

Vanilla icon remakes, this one is fairly interesting and also challenging. Maybe to challenging, no offense but Im not sure how many of the icons made by us will be better than the original ones u no wha I mean.

 

[Shadow Fury]

What was your suggestion?

Shadow/dark theme...

 

[JollyD]

My suggestion is to have 3 winning theme positions instead of 1

 

[Aeroblyctos]

Item sets and Feelings! Those I haven't seen much on the database.

 

[The Panda]

Voted!

 

[hiphop4eva]

Animal Instincts

Human Senses

Pirates

Feelings

Who gave the Assassin's Creed 4 suggestion?

E: Btw, voted for Animal Instincts, Human Senses, Dota Skillset Revamp, Seven Deadly Sins, Pirates and Feelings. And how can you suggest themes?

 

[Strydhaizer]

Who gave the Assassin's Creed 4 suggestion?

I dont get what you mean, but i play AC.

Anyway, why most of you are voting director's cut models? I thought all of them already has/have fitting icon(s), try checking DC models in the model section next time

 

[Ardenian]

You can never have enough Item Sets.

 

[hiphop4eva]

I dont get what you mean, but i play AC

Then you should know eagle vision. If you dont, its some sort of sixth sense which allows you to track enemies in stealth missions and solve puzzles. ''Animal Instincts'' ''Human Senses'' and ''Feelings'' are similiar to eagle sense and ''Pirates'' is, well you know it.

 

[Deolrin]

I really have no business in this thread seeing how I don't make icons, but I voted for "DC models", "Upgrades & Tech", "Attack & Armor Types", "Elemental Skills\Items", "Vanilla Icon Recreation" and "Trolls".

One question though - does "icons for Director's Cut models" imply ability icons and such or is it just the unit's portrait?

i think portrait and abbs

also we can merge both 2 winning now topics : items sets for dc models

 

[Ardenian]

Oh, I like the idea. Not only having an icon and ability icons but also item icons is a great addition.

 

[Deolrin]

I'm not sure how that makes sense though, not all DC models are heroes.

 

[Sin'dorei300]

If the "Icons for DC Models" theme wins, there will be abil icons too.

 

[Blood Raven]

In my opinion, icons for DC models is not a good theme, because the whole contest will be flooded with screenshot icons, and even if something isn't a screenshot, it will look like one. Very rarely can a freehand icon for a model be creative.

Instead I've voted for:
Upgrades & Tech, Item Sets, Hero Attributes, Crafting Materials, Pirates, Attack & Armor Types and Elemental Skills/Items.
I think those will give most freedom

 

[Sin'dorei300]

There will be no screenshot icons.
All entries must be from scratch.
It's a competition, and, as has been underlined several times, among other requirements are: 100% freehand, no screenies, no CNP,...etc.

Well, that makes it a bit better, but I still think the theme would not give a lot of freedom. Not to mention that the DC models are limited in number and each of the contestants need to make, what, four of them? That would lead to several of the icons being the same and to limiting the freedom of contestants that have entered late (if they don't want to make the same icons as the others). Still, that is just my opinion

 

[rulerofiron99]

It's not about freedom; it's about lack of creativity. If DC models wins, participating is a simple case of picking a model from a list and making an icon for it. While there is some space for creativity in execution, there is no need for it.

 

[SpasMaster]

Meanwhile there are ~4 icons per attribute (STR/AGI/INT, total of ~12) created in 2010.
Let's do icons for DC Models!

 

[Sin'dorei300]

...Not to mention that the DC models are limited in number and each of the contestants need to make, what, four of them?...

No, no. There will be abil icons too. Portrait + abilities.

 

[Blood Raven]

No, no. There will be abil icons too. Portrait + abilities.

Ooooh, that makes a LOT more sense... Sorry for the rant

 

[Ginufe]

Icons for Director's Cut Models is it then?

 

[Heinvers]

Icons for Director's Cut Models is it then?

Well at least it's not Attack & Armor Types theme.

 

[hiphop4eva]

I just choose the ones that I like.

 

[Kyrbi0]

Yes, but we are curious why you like the ones you like; your reasoning can reveal a lot about how you came to your decision.

I just liked them.
