Can I leave some of the examples here to help people understand the idea, @Panda?

Elemental force: create 3 icons that will symbolize spells using three different elements involed, for example, Phoenix Heart (fire), Geyser Strike (water), Venomous Cloud (poison).

Consumable items: create 3 icons that should have "Charged" classification, for example, Potion of Something, Scroll of Something, Book of the Dead.

Critical damage/hit/bash/smash: create 3 icons that will symbolize various critical effects caused by various types of attacks, for example, Shield Stun, Unhealed Cut/Bleed, Cripple, Armor Break, Mental Breakdown.

Protection-themed spells: create 3 icons that are meant to be used as protection type spells, for example, a barrier shield absorbing damage, temporary increase of health and boost, temporary armor enhancement.

These are good options; I think there should be a subcategory for AI-made icons, as many of us lack artistic talent, at least for honorary participation

As much as i would love to do that i dont think it will ever be implemented.. Being because we dont allow AI in contests considering its not the actual persons work and for contests we want (work in progress's) and freehand capabilitys. Furthermore, You can always give the contest a shot even though you do-not have a artistic background.. You may end up winning or even getting 3rd place, who knows.

But, fill free to vote on something just to get the votes coming in.


Also to clarify.. everyone has 3 votes they can do not just one!

Yes, nothing to do with the actual effort and essence of an artistic composition, it's an off-field participation, Something like what's already in the "AI Generated Icons" section of the forum. Of course, it's just to involve more people outside the artistic field. Even if it's not implemented, I like to talk about these topics of new technologies and how we adapt to them. If it's not out of place, we could discuss that in this context, of course, for those who have the time or interest in it

What do you mean?

I lost in the last vote, a different theme won the last time a voted

 

[Panda]

I lost in the last vote, a different theme won the last time a voted

Thats why i gave 3 votes this time to make it better overall..

What confuses me is the number of votes and the percentage, It's taking users instead of votes; at the moment 52.9% the most voted option when it should be 27.2%

It seems fine to me not sure..

The percentages are based on users, which is fine, but those percentages shouldn't be next to the votes because one might think they are the percentages of the votes.

I thought of it last second because there are some creeps that should have there own style of icon or spell icon.

Also this would benefit a lot of custom race makers too

[Villagerino]

You win by such a big margin

 

[Panda]

Going to stop the poll here and say that 3 type spell icons for neutral creeps will be the winner and this will end up starting around sometime in April.

I will update more around that time.

Thanks everyone for voting!
