Icon Contest #9 - Same Abilities, Different Hero

[Xian]

Yes, they do. :X

Hah,thanks,never knew that because blizzard never bothered to make fingers for almost every model

 

[I3lackDeath]

Shiik, I would definitely pick ShadowMeld over Charm, because you already HAVE one profile icon in your set, ChemicalRage.
If you stick to both, they look too similar.

EDIT:
The icon for CommandAura is called "PASBTNGnollCommandAura.blp", found via WorldEditor.

Icons updates:

1.

Slam with knobstick based on StormBolt

Oracle: Approach is dangerous and unwise - great chances to remain without a head. Overseer with enormous speed hit target enemy, damaging and stunning him.

2.

Rage based on Berserk

Oracle: Overseer frees up his anger, becoming insane. Wounds cause more damage to him, but he attacks with crazy speed.


3.

Gnoll Cripple based on Cripple

Oracle: Overseer makes enemy to feel fear. Reduces movement speed, attack rate and damage.


4.

Back to Battle (Ultimate) based on Ressurection (Ultimate)

Oracle: All who serve Overseer, can not disobey him, because of the infinite fear of him. Even if his army will fall, he will force them to return and fight on, using his anger and authority.

Waste....

...of time...


Might be Immolation, might be Spirit of Vengeance, not yet sure. Might be nothing though, either.

In my opinion, you could use this as Reincarnation, as it looks angelic to me.

That is the beauty of this contest, the icons that are made are useful on many levels.

 

[Pyramidhe@d]

i am missing the top layer of my corneas and i cant see shit. long story short, the contest has been extended for 2 weeks. cos apparently some people are asking for it. i cant tell. i cant really read.

also. happy new years. stop making icons and spend some time with your family and stop making my life so hard.

 

[M0rbid]

Did not see the extension in time, so I rushed my entry and here I am. Might use some extension time to redraw the icons, but not yet sure. Also, that one icon is now PAS Reincarnation, because I felt this could fit a Revenant quite well, also I like PAS icons.
Because of the quite disappointing outcome I added a bonus icon to it.
@Pyramidhe@d: Hope that you can recover fast, and get well soon!

Original icons in correct order:

[Mr.Goblin]

When's the poll?

 

[rcshaggy]

Geez so many damn awesome icons to choose from!

 

[Deleted member 157129]

Extended two weeks means new deadline 14th of January? I might find some time to polish and/or replace an icon before then if such is the case. Think I might redo Berserk entirely to get rid of the two faces, as a few people have mentioned already.

Also, how did that happen, Pyra? Will it take long to heal?

 

[JollyD]

14th of January is my B-Day %)

 

[Marcos DAB]

Unfortunately my monitor uses 1920x1080 dimensions. Making images appear ingame with low quality when converted to PNG.

 

[Luorax]

Wow, really great icons

 

[I3lackDeath]

Great Shift and Stomp ideas aswell as execution.

 

[Luorax]

May I ask how much did it take you to draw these icons?

Great coloring

 

[Pyramidhe@d]

poll will be up in 4 days

 

[Hemske]

So well, I am done with my entry.

I personally think the purple TotemFall icon looks best, but I think the blue one fits my theme for ice troll warlord better. So I will stick with the blue one as my final entry in this contest.

If I find the time (just two days left though D I'll update the frost axes icon, I am not too happy with it as it is right now, but we'll see. The heal could also need some work.

Do check the ingame screenshot for the correct borders.

_____

-Frost Arrows

______

-Heal

______

-TrueShotAura

-Alternate Starfall

-Starfall

The link isn't working for me (sends me to the top of this page), you should use the post numbers instead of the so-called permalink.

Anyway, I'll be updating my Berserk icon ASAP. And nobody cleared up whether the ultimate icon has to be based on an ultimate icon from the game, or if the ultimate can just be any ability.

 

[Luorax]

They all work perfectly for me.

 

[Pyramidhe@d]

i always preferred permalinks since it allows people to see the lead up and follow up posts

i will change it if that is what you would prefer

changed yours at least. check it.

all changed

 

[I3lackDeath]

Links work, mine is final.

And nobody cleared up whether the ultimate icon has to be based on an ultimate icon from the game, or if the ultimate can just be any ability.

Since it's nowhere stated in the rules, one can't be disqualified if one picked a "regular" ability. Ultimate Icons are "easier to understand" when they are based on an existing one, though.

The rules said that you can use any ability, for the ultimate one icon

 

[Hemske]

Updated my entry post. And your link is correct and final.

 

[I3lackDeath]

Do we even have judges yet?

 

[Mr.Goblin]

Please make sure these are your final entry.

Works for me

 

[M0rbid]

Updated and all the way ready to go.

 

[Deleted member 157129]

Updated my Berserk icon in the same post. That's the final entry. I would've put in Reincarnation as ultimate, and removed Berserk probably, to prevent two faces, but I've been too busy today.

Good luck everyone.

Hum... I can see someone might have been inspired ''compisition/structure'' wise by my icon

[Deolrin]

Pyramidhe@d, I just noticed, but...
Icon Contest? What the fuck?

...Whatever happened to Phoenix Trial? D:

(plz rnm dis is stpd omg nub mods wtf)

 

[Joe-black-5]

Wtf does Phoenix Trial means anyway?

 

[Pyramidhe@d]

it dont mean shit

 

[Deolrin]

It's a cool name because there is no verb for 'icon making'. I guess. <_>
Either way, it's tradition.

 

[Pyramidhe@d]

its a tradition that has not been in effect for 3 contests i believe. no one complained then

 

[Deolrin]

Really?
Well, I dunno, then. FrIkY just randomly brought that to my mind in the Skype voice chat earlier. I just went like... "Wait, wtf? Really? When did they change that?".
So, well, good to know I guess. Would be nice if you reverted back to Phoenix Trial in the next contest, but oh well.
