Phoenix Trial #5 - Hero Ability Icon Replacements

[Mr.Goblin]

oh right.. thunder clap.. okay ANOF ICON! for today

 

[Paladon]

You already have four..?
I got 2.

 

[Mr.Goblin]

I work in 64x64, why i'm making these so fast.

 

[Paladon]

Me too. Duh!
Well, one in 64x64, other in 128x128.

 

[terradont]

Awesome thunderclap icon! It makes me want to create a new Mountain King hero

 

[Caeyra]

Looks like fun. This is what I have so far.

 

[~Void~]

What spell is it?

 

[Caeyra]

Not a good sign. xD

It's Resurrection.

 

[Thorneon]

id work on the thing in the middle. too 2D right now

 

[Gilles]

Make it more 3D, and add a hand reaching up and holding the hammer.

 

[Paladon]

What i got so far:

Silence

Rain of Fire

Inferno

 

[HyperActive]

Silence wins a 10/10 in creativity. Rain of fire and Inferno are also well done, but I have to say that inferno is not very creative, just a giant boulder falling. Rain of fire has a great touch with the spiral thing.

I tried to make some icons myself, my my color blending technique and drawing with a mouse, sucks that I've spared myself of miseries and closed photoshop. Maybe some day...

Only a couple of days passed and there are already many icons, maybe a month is too much. Anyhow, I just love to follow these artcy contests. Good luck everyone.

 

[Paladon]

Thank you.
About the Inferno, it's a problem to come up with something creative here.
I just wanted to avoid to draw the exisiting Inferno icon again - the head on green background.

For the extra "creativity" aspect, i decided to make this "fall-effect" in front of the boulder.

 

[Zack1996]

Wow, all the icons are pure awesome. I'll just join the contest for a little fun
Here's a sucky version of Volcano :S


Flames are fine XD

 

[Paladon]

The mountain should be much darker

 

[Pyritie]

I might enter this. We'll see.

 

[frostwhisper]

WIP of my Pandaren ability icons.

From left to right: Breath of Fire, Drunken Haze, Drunken Brawler and Storm, Earth and Fire.

_{and yes, this is a joke}

Frosty won. I'm dropping out to avoid getting pwnd.

 

[Joe-black-5]

We have a winner

 

[terradont]

Definetly a winner xD

 

[Linaze]

I believe this can be closed now that frosty joined. :/

 

[HappyTauren]

Fucking.
O W N E D.

Rofl, that wins in so many aspects!

 

[Zack1996]

Yeah, Frostwhisper wins. He gets 90 reps and 2 special icons if that guy is holding Vodka XD
Anyway, on a more serious note, why is everyone using the Daffy Duck Avatar? Is it like some super duber trend?
And ok, I will make the mountain darker, thanks paladon

 

[Celaquil]

Now HT, go make a frostwhisper model to go with those icons >.>

 

[frostwhisper]

In the picture where I hold the ... rum I think, I'm holding vodka in my other hand. But it's not that visible so wasn't good for an icon

 

[Paladon]

How creative =O

 

[Pyritie]

When HT's done with the model, someone should make a map using those icons.

And a custom UI.

 

[Zack1996]

Woah, Paladon. You seriously rock. I darkened the mountain with the burn tool and now it looks way better!
And sure, lets ask someone who is willing to do 1000 animations and a 100000 poly model cos Frostwhisper deserves all that

 

[Palaslayer]

wow....
not so funny.

 

[Paladon]

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

Opinions please.

 

[frostwhisper]

Hmm, not sure. Looks kinda like a... ALL GLORY TO THE HIPNOICON!

 

[HyperActive]

Sleep, charm, you choose.

 

[Paladon]

Well, that means i should think of something new

"Charm" matches more than "Sleep".

 

[terradont]

Boolean Serious = false;

Try to be creative Paladon. Hey! i have an idea! Why don't you make an icon with a big green "Z" on?

Boolean Serious = true;

 

[viiva]

Endure Aura

 

[a7xpwns3]

Uhm. What is it? ><

 

[viiva]

Well it's a tauren that blocks a sword with his shield

 

[HyperActive]

LoL!
Looks good, fits the name of the ability.

 

[a7xpwns3]

For Endurance Aura? Doesn't Endurance increase AS/MS?

 

[HyperActive]

Yes it does.
But it's a mix up, after all, when you say endure you don't think on speed, but battle durability. So, I think it fits nicely.

 

[viiva]

Hmm I dont know what it does because i dont play ladder much, but i looked it up:
en⋅dur⋅ance
   /ɛnˈdʊərəns, -ˈdyʊər-/ Show Spelled Pronunciation [en-door-uhns, -dyoor-] Show IPA
–noun
1. the fact or power of enduring or bearing pain, hardships, etc.
2. the ability or strength to continue or last, esp. despite fatigue, stress, or other adverse conditions; stamina: He has amazing physical endurance.
3. lasting quality; duration: His friendships have little endurance.
4. something endured, as a hardship; trial.

So maybe the description is wrong

 

[a7xpwns3]

Idunno. So is this for Endurance Aura or Dexterity Aura or whatever its called? The one the paladin has.

 

[HyperActive]

Paladin has Devotion Aura (armor increase). This one is for Tauren Chieftain's Endurance Aura.

 

[terradont]

Endure Aura

It took me some time to see what it was.

I think you should base it more on "movement endurance" than "defencive endurance".

 

[Gilles]

That's some amazing freehand. Almost lifelike.

 

[viiva]

Yeah i will see what i do with endurance, but movement endurance is difficult to make on a small size like this.
Anyhow WIP for Big Bad Voodoo:

Now i have one for quality, one for creativity and one for blizzard style

 

[terradont]

Please, make the next one for ice cream.

I really like the big bad voodoo WIP.

<3

 

[Kingz]

Woah i can't compete with those icons
I made 2 but only 1 is worth of showing...
I doubt i will make anymore due to my lack of talent when it comes to drawing
I think i will stick to recoloring and minor modifications of blizzard icons for my needs from now on...
Well here is a WIP of holy bolt replacement:

 

[Paladon]

Now i have one for quality, one for creativity and one for blizzard style

That would mean

1/3 Creativity
1/3 Quality
1/3 Blizzard Style
