Icon Critique

[Szythe]

Alright, so here are my first few real attempts at making wc3-style icons. I know they're far from perfect, and I would like some good critiques as to what I could do to improve them. I didn't bother adding the wc3 borders because I'm trying to focus on the image itself, so please don't suggest adding the borders.

They are superb. I love your style,


oh and why don't you Introductions - The Hive Workshop - A Warcraft III Modding Site

 

[Devine]

They are awesome ... but not really warcraft style (the scroll is though)

 

[Szythe]

Thanks. Could you pinpoint any specific improvements to make them more wc3-esque?

I like blizz icons, but lets face it, they arent the BEST quality. Personally I like yours much BETTER than the blizzard icons.

 

[Hawkwing]

They look absolutely spectacular, but like the other's said. They aren't quite Warcraft III.

 

[Zorga]

The Icons really look great! I have tried to make some icons myself but never got them to look nearly as good as these .

 

[HyperActive]

Nice look. The scroll could use a little background glow or something like that. Perhaps you sholdn't be so eagered to capy blizzards warcraft look, honestly what you have here is more intresting. In fact, look CrazyRussians icons. They are most definatly not blizzard-ish, yet they are gorgious.

Hope you'll make more icons!

Blizzard's style definitely isn't the best. But it will look better in-game that way. Otherwise keep them the way they are.

 

[Paladon]

Pretty awesome. Epic in a way. Keep it up. Nothing to add.

They definitely need backgrounds, particularly the meteor shower one. Just a little extra
glowyhax for atmosphere. In addition, the meteor one could use more red, radiating out
from the flames.

And while you said "Don't suggest adding borders," you need to consider the
borders. See how you've got lots of detail close to the edge? When you add the borders,
all of that is going to get cropped off. Leave a little gap there, just a technical thing

 

[Sabelion]

Awsome. Need I say more?

....warcraft 3 always is a bit more cartoonish and ...
not really in proportion.
