I never understood that "author's permission" thing when it came to icons of custom models... Unless they made a custom texture that you literally copy/paste into your icon, I see no reason why they would have any say. More importantly, it's an honor for someone to make resources for your resource, increasing it's usefulness.

Another WIPs:

05-png.275856
06-png.275857
guldan-png.275859

And the portrait icon:

btnguldan-jpg.275860
disbtnguldan-jpg.275861


Look's good already, but keep in mind that our Gul'dan (the one from the game) has red glowing eyes. not green.
Done! :)

So, flat means unshaded.
shading is fine, form is off. the perspective is messy (e.g. given the implied angle of the framing, there shouldn't be such a huge bit-sized curve out of his cheek on the right), and in certain parts you've drawn flat shapes that, even with perfect shading, look odd. case in point for the latter, his nose - tiny nostrils drawn to the wrong perspective + a seemingly flat brow ridge & nasal bridge.
improving your understanding of drawing form comes with practice, time, and a lot of reference pics.


someone suggest me a model to do pls.

Thanks!
I know my skills at portrait making is so bad and I told it before. But that's however for the contest. I cannot draw a better icon for it. Maybe I could draw better with a tablet. I draw with mouse currently.

NOTE: You need to have permission from author of model/texture you chose to draw icons for.
It seems some people are having problem getting such expressed permission due to model/texture author inactivity and an inability to contact them. I would suggest accepting entries made without model/texture author permission as long as a reasonable effort was made to contact them, including an attempt from the contest organizers. At any time before the contest ends the model/texture author has the right to deny permission, disqualifying that specific entry (contestant can make another entry if time permits), should he suddenly become available. After the contest ends the author cannot deny permission as he has forfeited that right due to absence.

One must remember that all models and textures on this site are in the public domain. As such the authors do not have that many rights next to copyright over the specific model and texture. No permission should be required for making an icon as the model/texture author does not have strong copyright over the concepts and ideas used, often plagiarising/being inspired from other sources.

@BLazeKraze nothing ever change tho to your style and I like it! The big image looks much much better than the icon tho. And btw why are you still awake at this time!? Do you even sleep!? haha :xxd:

I'll try to do what I can but it's already late and I'm going to sleep right now. Hahahaha.

Nightmare & blazekraze, those are both really excellent!

@BLazeKraze , yours could be a tiny bit lighter IMO... Maybe. But why are you worried about conceptualizing abilities? You can see it was a model made for a Hero Contest; it came with 4 excellent abilities already. : )

Oh no, I thought being lighter is a mess that's why I darkened it a lil bit. But I'll look forward for your suggestion. :)

Blast, I have picked one, but I realized it was pending, and it was actually good >.> *sigh*
Anything to recommend? (The Model section packed like books in libraries and the search, well meh I had hard time filling it), well besides that, I guess I just go looking.

Edit:

Nah nevermind, I think I found one, I just need to ask.
