Icon Contest #9 - Same Abilities, Different Hero

[Apheraz Lucent]

He can slam the ground with his face and it will break.

Now I understand why his face looks like that.

 

[I3lackDeath]

Sea Giants ain't T-Rex relatives, so why shouldn't they be able to smash the ground?

 

[art2thecore]

I just thought that a foot slam is more powerful thus more fitting since he already has but he can do how he likes. Too bad the model does not have a slam animation since is based of the Mountain Giant but no problem either way...

 

[Dionesiist]

I think there already is a sea giant foot slam icon.

 

[I3lackDeath]

I think there already is a sea giant foot slam icon.

This one?

 

[art2thecore]

And your point is ?

 

[Deleted member 157129]

That it would be redundant to make another Sea Giant Stomp icon depicting feet.

 

[art2thecore]

Redunandant ? It's your personal vision of the subject even though the theme is the same. I paint a bowl a fruit and you paint the same bowl of fruit, my vision of the subject is gonna be so much diferent than yours.

 

[I3lackDeath]

Could you stop this argument (atleast HERE)? Grendel drew a fist, that's it. -.-

 

[art2thecore]

No argument. Just a friendly talk..

 

[Xian]

No argument. Just a friendly talk..

Friendly talk?! you talk like you knew everything about icon making...
saying "your point is?" = argument starter

 

[chr2]

I don't mean to continue this argument or anything, but a foot stomping would've been less useful, due to there already being one.

And something more contest related, I have another icon ready... Warstomp:

Needs a bit more white,since he's a panda.other than that.. awesome

The paws of a panda are black.

EDIT: Final icon:

Avatar!

So this is my submission:

Pandaren Brewmaster Icon Set

Windwalk:

War Stomp:

Devotion Aura (Passive):

Avatar (Ultimate):

Ingame:

 

[I3lackDeath]

War Stomp doesn't look fierce enough, not like a STOMP.

 

[Pyramidhe@d]

just regarding the warstomp. maybe you should take out a toe or two and give the remaining toes a bit more space. better detailing and all that.

Also. like it says on my sig, i am on a holiday. And so should you. anyways. if you have any problems on the contest, i have been way too busy to check up on thread. Please PM me any inquiries that you may have had over the psst week or so.

 

[chr2]

Well, I'm on vacation and won't be back till after the end of the contest, and I just had to quickly finish the icons, so I won't be able to make any changes :/

 

[Stanakin]

Wip of what will possibly be part of my entry:

 

[Deolrin]

Far Sight for Garden Gnome treant?

Looking great, whatever it is!

 

[JollyD]

Deo, nice joke

 

[HyperActive]

Spell steal actually.

 

[Stanakin]

deolrin, thanks, it's indeed for my garden gnome treant.
jollyD, what's the joke?
hyperactive, that was what I originally planned but I may change it. Otherwise I have to make it a bit more obvious that he stole the green thingy and make the green thingy look a bit more like a spell.

 

[-Grendel]

ok i'm done.
i ditched the sea giant icon set for some reason.
I used Murloc/Mur'gul

You need an ultimate spell. Or am I completely lost in wc3 spells and one of those is an ultimate spell?
Apart from that, nice icons, I really like the shadowmeld one.

 

[rcshaggy]

It could be used as Charm as well or even Avatar for the Murloc/Mur'gul.

wow that awesome!

 

[-Berz-]

I'm out. Good luck.

 

[JollyD]

I'm out. Good luck.

Why?

 

[-Grendel]

ok, so i renamed the shadowmeld ability to charm. the shadowmeld icon looks like a charm icon so it might as well do the trick. Also, i've included a bonus model for the mirror image ability icon.

[graystuff111]

Acid Bomb
Immolation
Good time to start now, I guess
Edit:
Drain Life
This is all dreadlord btw

 

[Deolrin]

Sweet. I like the Acid Bomb. It all looks a little sketchy, though; Did you draw it IRL, with a pencil or something perhaps?

 

[Deleted member 157129]

Meh, probably won't finish in time, but yeah.. posting WIP in case.

---

Dark Arrows (Axes) + Endurance Aura/Command Aura (Troll) + Shadowmeld (Troll) + Charm (Troll) + Chemical Rage/Berserk (Troll)

Shadowmeld:

Based on:

The whole set is for my Dark Troll Warlord. They should work for all Dark Trolls, though, and the axes could work for anything throwing axes.

Berserk (Active), Dark Axes (Auto-cast Active), Command Aura (Passive), Charm (Ultimate).

Berserk:

Dark Axes:

Command Aura:

Charm:

 

[D a w n]

ok.....as it couldn't be cleared it chat: do you have to remake a wc3 icon or do you have to redesign a wc3 icon??

example: let's say you have a wc3 icon that shows a hand. (example: devotions aura)
So
remake: recreate the wc3 icon for another model representing the hand.
redesign: recreate the wc3 icon for another model representing the idea of the spell(example:showing the hero covered by light rays that shall represent the armor bonus for allied units surrounding him)

 

[Stanakin]

The second one, I believe.

 

[Deleted member 157129]

Auras are a delicate case, I think, because they are so generic. Besides, they require no action, thus representing an armour aura could be everything from a rune, to a war cry, to a relic, to a hand motion, to a piece of armour being enchanted.. therefore I'll just play safe and do the hand.

Endurance Aura/Command Aura:

Fits Devotion Aura, and probably a few more abilities, as well.

 

[Deolrin]

Imo, the red glow sticks out. Asides from looking sketchy, it doesn't fit the overall color scheme(which is purple, I guess).\

EDIT: Flaming troll eyes. Disregard what I just said.
You could at least make the glow on the aura as vibrant and pretty as the one in the troll's eyes, though.

 

[Deleted member 157129]

shiiK goes symmetrical!

 

[Stanakin]

I'd like to ask for a few days extension. I'll try to finish in time but probably won't.

 

[JollyD]

Really need some more days / me toooo

 

[Hemske]

I approve of the two posts above me.

 

[Deleted member 157129]

Hopefully, I'll find some time to convert and get an in-game preview tomorrow. Need to adjust the colours a little overall, and I should rework the Dark Axes a little.

Shadowmeld:

Not the most successful, I guess.

 

[rysnt11]

^seems a little bit stretched...
But, i like it!

 

[graystuff111]

updates
and I just use photoshop, no rl pencils or anything

 

[I3lackDeath]

It's really interesting to see how everyone's got an own style.

I don't know why, but to me it looks like hes puking from the green barf. It's still a awesome icon though.

in my opinion, they need tweaks:
+The life drain need some 'background'
+The acid bomb's glow need to be more bright
+Immolation's shiloueete need to be more bright, currently i can't really describe what is it by looking at it only once

But that's just me
Good job gray!

 

[Deleted member 157129]

Have a final entry!

The whole set is for my Dark Troll Warlord. They should work for all Dark Trolls, though, and the axes could work for anything throwing axes.

Berserk (Active), Dark Axes (Auto-cast Active), Command Aura (Passive), Charm (Ultimate).

Shadowmeld:

Dark Axes:

Command Aura:

Berserk:

Based on:

I used Chemical Rage as reference, but decided to call it Berserk instead. It's more or less the same ability, but Berserk is more fitting. As for Command Aura - I couldn't find the icon used in-game for command aura, but the icon for the Endurance Aura is called PASBTNCommand. If there's any trouble just consider it Endurance Aura instead. :3

Missing in-game preview, I didn't have time, sorry.

DarkTrollHide (Active), DarkAxes (Auto-cast Active), DarkTrollAura (Passive), DarkTrollRage (Active Ultimate)

Unused

Umm.. do trolls really have only 3 fingers?

Yes, they do. :X
