Thanks! yeah, GIMP ftw!
I'll put it here to get some more feedback

Transmute

That's transmute...made in GIMP.
I started doing the concept of my Banish icon. Here it is:

Well, I think I need to explain... Basically that's a wall that divides the ethereal plane with the physical, and a Night Elven hero is being sucked into the ethereal plane. (his legs are into it already)

The first Transmute with the half golden arm is best. It expresses the ability clearly.
For the Banish icon, I'd suggest you make thin outlines for the body. I wouldn't have seen a DH in that icon if you didn't tell me, because I couldn't recognise its head. At first sight it looked like a misshaped head with a really tall chin.

Oh this isnt the only CnP icons of his, all of the icons in his submission are from Spellforce 2.

Nr.6 is in the 2nd spellslot http://rpgbrowsergames.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/spellforce2_12.jpg

I recognized the Jade Dragon icon of his to be from Spellforce 2, showed it to Devine and then he found these.

We will probably find quite a few more.

Ahh, today is a great day, endless hilarity.
 
Wip for my Animate Dead replacement.
AnimateDeadWIP.jpg


Well, I think the foreground is nearly done already.
I can provide a non-coloured (earlier) wip as well, in case if someone is asking :p
Yeah, that's interesting...how did you do all this at once and never changed it? Why someone would ask you a non-coloured? You know you did something wrong. You are giving excuses in advance.
I may join if this is allowed:
  • i draw something on paper
  • i scan it
  • i rework it in a program
  • i post it

So is this allowed?
I mean, that is freehanded :p
That's actually what i mostly do.
This time not, but it is allowed.
Oh, I see.

We both seem to replace the same icons.

Edit: My BTNRainOfFire

BTNRainOfFire.jpg
How did you manage that at once? We didn't notice this...

What i got so far:

Silence
BTNSIlenceV1.jpg


Rain of Fire
BTNRainOfFire.jpg


Inferno
RanOfChaos2.jpg
All of them are CnP?

Could this be a replacement for the "Sleep" ability icon?
BTNSleep3.jpg


Opinions please.
That's so amazing. What shame it's most likely not yours.

Okay, i think this are going to be my entries, but i will work on remakes and the other versions.

For now, this is what i got:

BTNRainOfFire
BTNRainOfFire.jpg


BTNInferno
RanOfChaos2.jpg


BTNHolyLight
BTNHolyLightWip.jpg


BTNSilence
BTNSIlenceV1.jpg


The quality will be even better, since his are .jpg images.
Yeah, it seems you were gonna win the contest you suggested with this stuff.

Okay, i added two infernal eyes to my infernal meteor, i thought about adding a mouth as well, but then it doesn't look like a meteor anymore.
Please tell me, which version looks better?
Inferno.jpg
Inferno2.jpg

Now I see why these eyes blend badly. You couldn't change much on the icon anyways. Its layers were already combined...

----

This is sad. I hope the contest isn't over now and you are mature to keep hosting it and get over this dirty work we are going to forget. (At least I am)

Actually I see you are an excellent drawer. You didn't need to do this.
