Murlocs

(after reading some posts)

But blizzard icons suuuuuuck D:

 

[Volvox]

True, blizzard style's... just... meh... Here's a wip of what i've been thinking about. Teh moonblade, i guess.

 

[Paladon]

Looks nice but reminds me of this:http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/f281/icons-crazyrussian-93857/#post771355

 

[LiOneSS]

Lol, owned.

 

[Volvox]

Wheh?! Ah crap... And i'm not even using the same style of drawing. I'll see what it turns out to be in the end and if it's too similar, i'll start something else.

 

[Devine]

(still searching a theme of good items)
just a naais sceptre with pretty glos on it.

 

[Volvox]

I like it but it's tiny. Maybe zoom on the upper part?

 

[LiOneSS]

Someone do draenei

 

[FrIkY]

DevineArmy, that way of of making a staff is not good. I'll recommend you the the Blizzard's style of making staves (and other weapons). You know what I mean? Some Blizzard's sword icons for example! They (mostly) show how handle looks like, like in these pictures:

What you have to do with your staff is, make them in the way of Priest's Upgrade icons. I think that one is something blue, and the other one is shiny and golden.
So, what's the point in all of this... just show us the upper part of your icon...

 

[Devine]

Geez, man i'm still warming up D:!
I'm not going to use em I think ...
I always change my mind on the theme T_T
I think i'm going to do human bow upgrades next.

 

[Volvox]

Moar wips. The one with the background is just a test. What do you think?

 

[LiOneSS]

meh, weapons don't need fancy backgrounds.

 

[Linaze]

First one is best, that's what I think, Volvox.

 

[Volvox]

Thanks for the feedback, i guess i'll just fade the background away for now.

 

[Hawkwing]

Any background looks terrible on any icon if you ask me.

 

[Kwah]

I'm probably going to do some "tech" style ones.

 

[Hawkwing]

NO!!

 

[Kwah]

YES!!

It's going to be like: Shield, and lasers though, not armor and guns.

 

[Hawkwing]

Oh! Oh! Oh! Can I do Draenei?!

 

[Kwah]

NO!!

Quoted for truth.

 

[Hawkwing]

Someone do draenei

But.. but.. but!

 

[LiOneSS]

But.. but.. but!

I didn't say I'd do it. Go ahead and grab it before someone else does I am doing BE anyway.

 

[Paladon]

I am glad that this competition wins such popularity.

Good luck to all contestants, as well as to those, who are going to join.

 

[Huinipachutli]

Im going to do the Capitalists upgrade set which involve high hats aand ornate canes.

FTW!!

 

[Devine]

This staf any better (more like angle because I know this sucks)

 

[LiOneSS]

the lighting is all funky, stuff doesn't reflect light like that

 

[Devine]

I said comment the angle more.
Iron can reflect that much but it has to be very shiny
and the orb ... how the hell should you know? D:

 

[TheBlooddancer]

It is liek magix.

(~Void~ Quotes ftw).

Try to make it highlightet with circles, instead of that large plamage.

 

[LiOneSS]

Yes the highlights should be in circles since the tip is a round object.

 

[Linaze]

Looks good, but not very wc3-ish.

 

[Devine]

dudes ... It's just a sketch of how the angle should be D:

 

[Elenai]

Take the criticism with grace there Devine...It is rather..odd.

 

[Devine]

dude, it's a 3 minutes sketch, seriously...
Comment The ANGLE! plox ffs.

 

[Elenai]

SEE! It looks awful without the background. And it looks cheap too. Not at all like the epic second tier for a Unicorn riding, bad-ass, rapier wielding, heavily armoured, Quel'Thalassian, uber-unit, kick your dad in the teeth, knight!

 

[LiOneSS]

To be honest, it looks weird with the bg too.

 

[Huinipachutli]

Did some work on my sequence and this is the result:

Now I should get to work on the walking sticks.

 

[Volvox]

I like the idea, it's very original, but as in many previous cases, not very warcrafty. Here's another wip of mine, this time with a less invasive background.

 

[Devine]

looks very nice.

 

[KelThuzad]

Will update soon with Evolution from normal blade to "Dumb copy of Frostmourne".

 

[Paladon]

Previous work is not allowed, please remember that rule

 

[KelThuzad]

Previous? You mean the one that I have already posted in the Icons section?

If yes then damn, I just wanted to see the reaction of the people (I was doing it for the competition).

 

[Devine]

He means "did you make this before the contest began?"

 

[KelThuzad]

Yes okay sorry I didnt know the rules before. I did it before. I'll make something new now.

 

[Huinipachutli]

Ive worked a bit on the Sticks, and here is the result:

The complete sequence looks like this:

It's alright, you just have to make a new sequence
heres a WIP of my shield.

 

[LiOneSS]

Ive worked a bit on the Sticks, and here is the result:

The complete sequence looks like this:

the backgrounds are too bright and the draw the attention from the actual item

 

[FrIkY]

Huinipachutli, I really don't know how could I use that in Wc3... but your idea is really unique! ^^

 

[Huinipachutli]

Neither do I, thx ^^

@LiOneSS: I say like Elenai:

I like the background.
