Hello.

I would like to make a request for five icons for the abilities of one of the units in my map. The unit to which the abilities belong to is of the Magnataur Reaver model. Magnataurs are denizens of Icecrown, and I would like to represent this or the "icy-aspect" of the Magnataur in the icons; thus, I would like the icons to have a whitish background/color scheme. For aesthetic purposes, I would like the icons to have the same "cartoonish-yet-detailed scheme that the original warcraft icons have".

Some pictures of Magnataurs:

The Ability Icons:
1) Brutal Strength
For this ability, I would like the icon to resemble this one: http://http://www.hiveworkshop.com/resources_new/icons/228, but with a whitish tint replacing the black and with a brown hand (for the hand of the Magnataur Reaver, which the hand in the icon would be representative of, is brown).

1a) Mighty Swing(Sub-ability)
This ability is added to the unit when he activates Brutal Strength. I would like it to show some "whoosh" of the unit's weapon, and, again, with a whitish background. The object in this icon would serve well as a base: http://www.hiveworkshop.com/resources_new/icons/304
__________________________________________

2) Master Vagabond
This ability allows the unit to establish multiple little outposts around the map, at which he can regenerate health and mana. I would like the icon to emphasize the wanaderer-ness of the unit. I something of such sort in mind: The ladder Far Seer's "Far Sight" ability icon with a whitish - instead of reddish - tint, without the circular frame around the landscape image; and with the small sillhoute of a magnataur, preferably dark-bluish/black, traversing the landscape.

__________________________________________

3) Frost Armor
This ability works like the ladder Lich's. I would like it to show the body of a Magnataur, white under flakes of snow, with a sort of snow-frosty-barrier around it.

__________________________________________

4) Overpower
This ability makes the unit charge towards a location, pushing all units it collides with towards the location. I would like the icon to show some savagery of the Magnataur. Ideally, the icon would have a Magnataur towering over a weakling unit - like an ice troll or tuskar - in an aggressive stance - like it's about to strike at it with its weapon. I would like the icon to coincide with the action of the Magnataur charging forward so that it would be coherent with the effect of the ability.

These are all I request. You can take your time making the icons, if you will. Thanks.

You have piqued my attention. I will take a shot at em.

EDIT - Got all of them except the one kaitech did, because he did it. I saved them as, normal, autocast, passive, disabled. Finishing overpower

EDIT - I changed overpower a bit. Its less like what you said because i cant fit a maganataur and a troll in a small picture. It is now a magnataur screaming with a red aura around him.

EDIT -

Thanks, really, Kaitech and FireEffect.

However, FireEffect, could you make the black circular outlines in the first three icons (those for Brutal Strengthm Frost Armor and Master Vagabond) white, bluish-white at the inner parts of the circular outlines turning white at the outer parts - for the white-snowy effect? And could the greenish aura around the hand in the icon for Brutal Strength be made light bluish for consistency with color scheme?

I dont get it? Make the black, white?
The icons have black parts around them. Could you make these parts whitish instead of black, bluish white at the inner parts of the black areas turning white at the outer parts?

And could you change the green tint around the hand in the first icon to a bluish tint, pls?
