My icons

[David]

Do it daddy! I wanna see some from you!

David you should work more on the contrast and brightness. It can really increase the quality of your work.

That's very cool.... brother! I wish I have that talent of yours... hehehehe. +REP! Just a tip, make the background light brighter because that's why I mostly notice on icons.

Thanks! That really looks so much better! Thanks for your time and messing around with my icons ^^.

As for you hell brother thank you.

Keep in mind that this doesn't work all the time.
Over-contrasting images doesn't give satisfying results. Always test various settings, and stick to what you think looks best.

However, note that sharp edges of blades need harsh contrasts ot create the proper effect. Compare VS's adaption with your base icon. The adaption looks much sharper.

Actualy remember that icon becomes much better if there is a best angle and ideal border size are chosen for ur object. Cuz currently this spear looks like shovel with some shit-face on it.

And take a look at the background. it is around of 60-70% of ur icon. That is realy. REALY bad. Try fix it with changing angle, design or something in ur icon, let it not be more than 25-30% (of a whole image).

Finaly, dominating color should be more neutral or passive, or hardly contrasted with the other part of icon.

 

[David]

I3lackdeath, Thanks for the reply, I get what you mean

Peekay, I see, that is actually what I forgot to do, but thanks for reminding me.Oh and btw it's a sword :O...Shovel with a shit face... LOL

 

[8512590215848]

i know that is sword or sword-spear, but cuz its.. mhm... undefined and looks not dangerous - it can be named "shovel"
Also, when u showing design of an item - try make it more static (i mean the red tail is unnecessary). And only when u should show an action or "something happening with the item" - u can use abstract lines to make a according background.

Thank you for your kind words. And I think no, but I can get you some through pastebin if you want. Also I don't work much because of school but summer is near.

Through the pastebin would be fine also!! Because my project really needs some icons (Especially icons like yours) for different stuff... thanks David!

 

[David]

No problem, which icons do you need ?

 

[MasterTrainer]

[David]

Something is wrong with my computer, the button manager does not work but here have a tutorial from me : Now first of all download the button manager http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/tools-560/button-manager-v1-8-2-a-116280/ , then save all the images you want such as the ones you want, then just import them to the button manager and add those " tiles ". BUT BEFORE YOU DO THAT go get the litle sized icons from my album : http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/members/214358-albums6123-page2.html Too bad I don't have 64x64 on the abstract ones but I think you can do that. When you do the thing in the button manager just save them as blp. After that just go to your world editor and import them there to your map. Sorry you have to do this all by yourself but I seriously need to reinstall my computer...

Actually for me, as long as I can get the icons (I couldn't careless if I do it myself) that's all that matters. Thanks David!

 

[David]

It's no problem at all ^^ I am glad someone uses my icons ;3

 

[MasterTrainer]

Hey David... any new updates or icons?

Button manager = http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/tools-560/button-manager-v1-8-2-a-116280/ = makes miracles such as making the passive and stuff....

wut?

 

[David]

Well, lets just say I just made a 64x64 icon, and i want to make it look passive. You know passive spell, I import it to Button manager and it makes it like that and I import it.

yep, but you can use 640*640 image and button manager will resize it automatically.

 

[David]

Yeah, but it has other functions too ^^. Let's not argue over something stupid shall we ?

 

[David]

I believe I will make another update for this icon I just made.

And the small size:

 

[Amargaard]

Making clear black lines at every border would be a good idea, to keep the awzum comic-style look of Warcraft icons

 

[MasterTrainer]

Looking good for the icon, but I can't review it yet because I know you're going to make another update. Keep up the good work =D

 

[David]

Thank you.

 

[MasterTrainer]

Hmm... any updates there David?

 

[David]

They will come soon I hope, I am just very busy with school nowadays.
