  Blizzard Feeling	Icons should be executed in such a manner that they can be implemented in a Warcraft map and compliment other Blizzard icons.	30%
  Technical Note	The quality of the icons is the most important thing. They must be detailed yet clear (throwing a lot of elements in a 64x64 image will usually look crowded).	40%

[Saia_Djinn]

my idea would be
Wards

create Ward spells and make icons for them(no models =D)

 

[Dentothor]

im updating the template now. but feel free to post more ideas everyone!

@Saia_Djinn:
this is an icon contest not a triggering contest. so there is no spell making at all

 

[Saia_Djinn]

so what theme im able to choose now? only the 4 ones above or more?
Also to the unfinished thing:
need i a preview of all icons at least once(should be better) or only once a preview of one of them

 

[Dentothor]

any theme. this is not a full competition it is just a submission idea.... so the contest isnt on... please read WHERE this is posted before making useless comments like that

 

[Slaydon]

i didnt like the ability theme, Items would be cooler since we had Ability's last time

 

[Dentothor]

well, as said in the submission, we can do ANYTHING represening your theme. abilities or items ect.

 

[Devine]

Weapon set.

 

[Gilles]

Items is a good idea.

 

[Slaydon]

how about an armorset contest?

 

[Dentothor]

aurmor set?

@Gilles: Items revolving around a theme?

 

[Paladon]

Armour/weapon set was just done in the Phoenix Trail 4.

Items gains my support, there should be an additional condition nonetheless.
Example: Healing items, strengthening items, etc.

Edit: You are writing Phoenix Trail wrong in the header and title.

 

[Dentothor]

im guessing items will have the full support as it hasnt been done yet. Who will judge then?

 

[ike_ike]

Edit: You are writing Phoenix Trail wrong in the header and title.

You spelled Trial wrong D:

Items sounds decent.

 

[HyperActive]

Recipes?
A sword, shield, helm, boots, gloves = Weapon set?

 

[Paladon]

You spelled Trial wrong D:

Hehe, yeah^^

HyperActive's idea is good.
6 icon set.

 

[Dentothor]

quite. but that sorta thing was done in #4 wasnt it?

 

[MultiGod]

*yawn* weapon upgrades is done, so....
ABILITY UPGRADES!
e.g : first icon is a rifle shooting a small bullet and 2nd is a cannon shooting a grenade

did you see all of the pheonix trials? abilities were done in the 5th one!!
plus that still follows under the lines of an attack upgrade

 

[MultiGod]

actually no I dont.

 

[Palaslayer]

so actually you can choose arcane, arch mage, missiles, naga, death, darkness, fire, medieval, egyptian, chinese, samurai, smileys, buttons, command buttons, bags, shields, poison, decay, life, holy, warrior, arthas, demonic, ancient whatever you want, the main object will be that all icons have to fit the theme?

edit: and since some themes are not as big as others i'd recommend that all contestants have to submit at least 4 icons and may submit more depending on how many ideas they have...

 

[Dentothor]

basically. i guess well have to run it by everyone to see if they agree

 

[ike_ike]

Errrggh. Please just have 4 icons submitted, nothing more nothing less. Letting people submit a dozen icons and having the judges pick the best is a massive advantage, and kinda lazy. Maximimum icon limit please.

 

[Dentothor]

yeah i agree

 

[Paladon]

Icon Set consisting of 4 corresponding icons?
Creativity is a must.

 

[Mr.Goblin]

why not something like

-hand spell icons = in every icon you must have a hand

example = a hand holding a potion, a hand casting a spell etc.

- techtree? = maybe not

- Custom items = No weapond or armor allowed!!!

example : Bags, book, features, plants etc.

- Custom hero spell = you give 5 hero model choice, and we have to draw icons related to it?!

 

[D a w n]

- Custom hero spell = you give 5 hero model choice, and we have to draw icons related to it?!

I had exactly the same idea
but I think people should have the freedom to choose on their own and not be forced to select a specific one. :>

 

[Gilles]

To totally rip off raging, why not have four words, and the icons must contain those in them.

-Fist
-Hammer
-Face
-Light

So you have to include those in the icon. It doesn't have to be 1 per icon, you could put 2 in one, and have one icon totally your own idea without any of the words. You have to make four icons though.

 

[HappyCockroach]

lol sry

im up to the 5 model choice and 4 icons to it

 

[67chrome]

I like the idea of creating an armor set, something were you could choose four of the following:

Helmet
Shoulders
Chest
Legs
Gloves
Boots
Bracers
Belt
Cape
ring
necklace

And either make just a regular armor set (like copper armor, knights colors, soldier fatigues) or an epic tier set like those from WoW. It could even be more like the Diablo II item sets, as they include weapons and shields in the mix (unlike WoW), and generally have around 4-5 items, which would be more useful for RPG maps that only have 6 inventory slots for the heroes, as they usually always have a weapon thrown in the mix.

 

[Dentothor]

Somthing along those lines was done in #4

 

[HyperActive]

No it wasn't.

Phoenix Trial #4
Contest Theme: Weapon and Armor Upgrade Sequences

How is Weapon and Armor Upgrade == Item set?

 

[Saia_Djinn]

I like it=D

 

[Coinblin]

I would totally participate in a Armor Set competition. But how do we know when the idea is officially made a contest? Will there be a new thread created here in the same section or what? Sorry but I've just started taking an interest in competitions at the Hive so I need to be told some things.

 

[Paladon]

There won't be an armor set theme for this any time soon.
The contest's thread will be placed here.

 

[Squidle]

Okay... hmh... lemme think...
So we already had the weapon armor shizz...

Artifacts, perhaps?

We all have to choose a custom model from the hive and make an item for them.

I gonna make a Moon Helmet for this unit!

So you have to draw the unit with your special item.

 

[Paladon]

All i can tell you is that the theme for the next Phoenix Trial is already choosen.
I guess i shouldn't explain the details now.

However, you are free to discuss the Phoenix Trial #7 theme
Quite a neat idea Squidle!

Thanks Pala ;3

w00t, then this is for the 7th PT.

Artifacts

Every user has to make a special artifact for a existing model of the hive. You have to draw the model and the item.

 

[Coinblin]

Do we know when Phoenix Trial #6 will begin?

 

[Paladon]

Either today, tomorrow or some weeks later.

 

[Dentothor]

oh mah gawd! IM IN! PREPARE TO GET OWNED!! NOOBS OF ICON ART!!

 

[Palaslayer]

Either today, tomorrow or some weeks later.

wagh, where do you know all that from???

 

[TDR]

Come on dude, start this already please; you just have to do some copy&paste in a thread with a little edit, a gruesome 3 minutes.

 

[HappyCockroach]

[Devine]
