New phoenix contest.

[Devine]

... it's been ages since the last one.
Any ideas?

 

[Sabertooth]

And it might be ages until the next one, since last time I checked Hawk had quite a large waiting list.
Anyway, Command buttons (if it hasn't been done) could be a nice idea. It's not specific though. =/

 

[Devine]

i'd say ...Enchanted weapons or FX ... (like blasts etc)
or spells...

but the theme ....

how about ... make a spell icon for each tranch of magic in the Elder scroll fantasy world?
all tranches here

it's explained good enough i think ... so people that don't know ES can also enter this.

Yea .... i remember that ... you made a pack right?

 

[Devine]

How the hell did this thread die? rezz plox.

 

[Ghost765]

forgive me for my noobishness, whats a phoenix?

 

[Sabertooth]

You're not forgiven, BUT:
Icon contests at Hive are referred to as "Phoenix Contests". They're named that way because Daelin called them that, I was told.

 

[Devine]

And the theme you'd like?
I'm going for enchanted weapons.

 

[Pyritie]

Why not just weapons in general?

 

[Linaze]

IMO the theme should be an "upgrade set" like an alternative to the weapon/armor upgrade icons featured in warcraft 3. (Such as 3 swords that fit together, yet tier 2 looks awesomer than tier 1 and tier 3 looks better than tier 2).

 

[TheBlooddancer]

Cause..

Well, i was about to say something about Phoenix's and Enchantsments, but my lore is kinda.. Duh.

Ohh, and plain weapon could be fun too. On a black background.

 

[Paladon]

Or maybe something totally new.
How´s it about alternative (portrait) icons for some Warcraft III + Frozen Throne Units?
Or their abilities?
No screenshots of course. Just to bring in a new aspect.
We already got so much weapons, etc, it would be nothing new.

 

[Devine]

How about a enchanted battle gear? I mean (for example) helm, shield, sword, chest, boots thaat come from the same set.
or make an upgrade set for three weapons/armors and make them fit the same theme.

 

[Paladon]

An upgrade set (for example swords, shields, other armour) sounds original.
Good idea DA.

 

[ViralHatred]

How about recycling old/unused buildings/units in wc3 and giving them a purpose?

Examples such as: Barrow Den, NE Fishing Boat, etc.

 

[Kwaliti]

Aren't Phoenix Trials annual compos?

PT#2 was in summer last year, while PT#3 was this summer.

 

[TheBlooddancer]

That would pretty much ruin this thread's purpose. (Somebody check if thats right D

 

[Devine]

... I don't care if it is
if it is, change it. There are like 3 model contests every year -.-'

 

[LiOneSS]

how about making icons of some armor set?

like i said )
still don't miss me in the chat?

 

[Hawkwing]

Annual or not, let's hurry up and choose a theme.

 

[Devine]

I don't really think icon-makers visit these forums :/
we should let em know so they can decide a theme.

 

[LiOneSS]

Anyone can make icons, so just choose a damn theme so we can do this kthx.

 

[Kwaliti]

We got Spells, Command Buttons and Elemental theme down. What's left?

 

[Linaze]

Christmas icon, can be anything from Santa Claus to a Christmas tree, kk?

 

[LiOneSS]

That isn't quite useful.

 

[Pyritie]

We got Spells, Command Buttons and Elemental theme down. What's left?

Well Devine/Lio suggested weapons/armour.

 

[Devine]

Well Devine/Lio suggested weapons/armour.

(I was first )
so if no-one else has other ideas, we can just make a poll out of the last few ideas posted.

 

[Hawkwing]

We'll eventually have a poll. What would the options be though? (I'm not paying a ton of attention to this thread.)

1. enchanted battle gear

[LiOneSS]

Or we could make 4 icons for 4 hero abilities, how about that? 3 normal+one ulti

 

[Devine]

... Hawkwing ... will you make the poll...?

 

[Hawkwing]

Well, I was waiting to see if we'd get some more ideas, but since we haven't I guess I will.

 

[LiOneSS]

[Devine]
