Was there any AI used or some type of reference you drew over top perhaps?

Alright then please describe how it was created.

Alright then please describe how it was created.

In the game editor, I take a screenshot of Arthas's hammer. In GIMP, I flipped it so it's aligned. Using the selection tool, I removed the background, making it black, and added the blue glow. Then, on a top layer, I added shading, highlighting, and lighting to make the hammer more visible. Finally, on another layer, using the brush, I manually added the glow surrounding the hammer, the white, and the magenta.

So you used a reference and/or a screenshot and drew over it?

It's how I always make my icons, it's correct.

I don't have the original screenshots anymore, but I do have the Gimp log. Still, I can remake the icon if you don't believe I created it myself. No problem.

Please add Blizzard Entertainment to the author since its a screenshot of a paladins hammer in-game and ill approve as useful.

Set as useful. A screenshot that has been edited over top with at least 40-50% freehand involved. Approved.
