Pheonix Competition #3 - Elements

[frostwhisper]

Suggestion: make it 100% PS.

 

[Deolrin]

ps>? what is this?

 

[frostwhisper]

Photoshop.

 

[Deolrin]

O.K., ike_ike, i done your icon with a BTN and a DISBTN!

 

[frostwhisper]

ps=photoshop
frostwhisper.should i remove the bevell and emboss on this fire?(seeing as how wulf didnt reply to my psds ima start new ones again)

Considering that this doesn't really look like fire, remove it.

 

[NearbyHermit]

And it looks really strange

 

[FF7 project-G]

yeh its because i used bevell and emboss><
EDIT-ike heres your BTNs in .blp

 

[Thyrael]

New redone firebuttons. Basestruktur made in Paint, refines made in PPS and PS. 100% handrawn. Do they match the rules?

 

[NearbyHermit]

Hey Thyrael,that icon looks great,terrain icon.

 

[FF7 project-G]

heres what ive been working on for 4hours...all done PS

 

[NinjasDontFight]

Lol nice tornado, but do you think you could add some winds, or blur it slightly, or something. It looks like a tree in the middle of space.

 

[FF7 project-G]

i would use the wind filter but since filters arnt allowed i had to remake it.(i think ima add some white lines and grey to make it windish)

 

[CombatTheWombat]

I'm pretty sure they will suck really bad, but I am going to enter this.

 

[Deolrin]

yeh its because i used bevell and emboss><
EDIT-ike heres your BTNs in .blp

But the rep comes to me, don't forget it he just converted them

 

[FF7 project-G]

it does go to u(but blp=less space in tga so i thought id do that)
EDIT-wulf i tried doing what you said.making it in bigger first and it worked supprisingly well.heres the big and small version of my new fire icon(tga=big scale)if you want ill give u the .psd to you can see what i did

[Ezikielth]

My CnP senses are tingling!
~EDIT.: I will be entering. Meh

 

[NearbyHermit]

Well,I appreciate it.

 

[Thyrael]

My CnP senses are tingling!

You should check your senses.

 

[varsaigen]

no, he needs to get a tune-up. lol

 

[Ezikielth]

Well... If it isnt... I fail to comprehend how you did that in paint... let alone made such an improvement in such a short amount of time.

 

[FF7 project-G]

he did say he "enchanced" it in photoshop and stuff

 

[varsaigen]

:O HAX! lol That doesn't follow the rules. Sounds like he took a real pic or existing icon and changed the graphic effects. :/

 

[Ezikielth]

Indeed... Anyhow... Here is my fire spell icon.
BEHOLD! BTNFlamebarrage
ehh... I dont think it lives up to the hype

 

[Infinitynexus]

Are you shitting me? 512x512 for an ICON? what u trying to cram into that icon.. the whole city of new york? wtf

 

[varsaigen]

Infinity, yes. yes you are. XD And Ezikielth, it looks awesoem in the big pic. Need more space between fireballs like I said earlier. Good job. Keep at it!

 

[Ezikielth]

meh. Im done with this one I think
BEHOLD!! BTNFlamebarrage
It was so fun typing that last time so I typed it again!!

 

[Infinitynexus]

Complete entry.

First up, Obsidian Boulder:

Ice Thorns:

Wrath of Nature:

Ball Spark:

Ingame:

Zipped 'em up seperately.

Was quite fun to make these, as I had no idea how I was going to do ice, nature'ish or lightning, never really tried that before

Turned out well enough, I hope

 

[Dionesiist]

You might want to give it a stronger glow in the background, Nexus.

 

[Thyrael]

New Watterbutton: Fatal wave

 

[FF7 project-G]

you stole my idea><in wc3c theres a tutorial on how to make them crystal effect....><dam you

 

[Ezikielth]

BEHOLD!! BTNHungeringCold
This one should live up to the hype... I mean I stayed up all night working on it 3am-7am meh.

 

[FF7 project-G]

Here is my new Water icon(its water implosion/ice implosion)

 

[Ezikielth]

Behold! BTNLightningShackles
Meh... more long hours, I was working on this one on and off from the start but I coulnt get the hand quite right for a really long time.
~Edit: Liking the Icon FF7 however it does look alot like your fire one.

 

[FF7 project-G]

it does? i used a different method

 

[TDR]

Thyrael, who the fuck are you trying to fool here? How dare you say you made this:

in paint, freehand!? Also, I don't believe you made this from scratch at all:

(and I also think I saw it somewhere else before...)
Because look what a freakin GARGANTUAN difference in quality is between those and the other ones you say they're hand drawn(these I believe):

 

[HappyTauren]

TDR, me and wulfy were already suspicious, but couldn't find those images on google, guess I will have to search harder.

 

[SuPa-]

HT, that's because it could be several pictures pasted together

 

[Thyrael]

*sigh*... Did you never tried to make a pic in paint by using the basecoulour, and than edeting pixel by pixel until they fit your desire? Of course you don't, but it is possible. Just take me out of competition, so you'll have your peace and I got mine.

I take my submissons back, but not cause I "cheated". I do cause it's not worth the trouble.

Greetings Thy

 

[TDR]

oh yeah, suuuuure, mister drama queen...
I guess you just have a special superpower that makes you draw unbelievably realistic pixel art, but make extremely poor drawings otherwise. You sir are a miracle.

 

[varsaigen]

Have you guys ever SEEN him draw or do it pixel by pixel? of course not. But it is possible.

 

[TDR]

spare me of that bullshit. again, look how crappy his other icons are, there's no way that someone who draws like that can make photorealistic pixel art.

 

[varsaigen]

well, I really sucked in terraining but got good at it quickly. Doesn't mean I cheated. It just means I learned quicly but trying out tutorials. Same thing (possibly) here.

 

[HappyTauren]

terraining can be learned quickly. Drawing? CAN NOT.

 

[varsaigen]

I draw great on paper but suck on a computer. Maybe he scanned it on?

 

[TDR]

of course, that is also a possibility. Though he'd have to be Chardin or someone like that.

 

[FF7 project-G]

just for the record do you think i cnped mine?
EDIT-nvm

 

[Sansui]

EDIT2: New rule, you must provide a 512x512 proof image of your icons, and not a shitty resize i mean the actual icons image at that size as i need to check it for proof. If it doesnt pass me it doesnt pass through the contest.

I was going to enter, but I don't do icons at 512 that is ridiculously overkill in size, for icons. Making icons in that size will DESTROY the quality when re-sized down.
Wulf, reconsider this "rule" as a 512 image is RIDICULOUS for any of my work, I don't even do normal unit textures in 512.
