Alright I was thinking of voteing for eather bigapple or ike ike or goblin, goblins quality is best of those 3 then ike ikes and then bigapples, but considering concepts and quality mixed together i would say
1.Bigapple
2.Goblin
3.ike ike
so im voteing for bigapple gl to all contestents.

 

[dansaDisco]

I voted for bananaHUNT, because I love his style.

 

[Palaslayer]

i love 4 entries:

happy cockroach
banana hunt
mr goblin
ike ike

dunno in what order though :S

So, i decided on this:
1.Banana, cuz i just love his style, which fits wc3 best and his icons are more creative than the other ones.
2.Happy, because i think his storm earth and fire icon owns.
3.Goblin, because he made a lot of high quality icons though compared to the others' ideas his icons are a little lame and very similar to the normal ones
4.ike ike, because the others were better ^^

 

[oh_snap]

Quality wise, and artistic wise, I love Mr. Goblin's icons overall. They are not terribly creative, but the quality makes up for that.

~Snap

 

[D a w n]

ike_ike because his style is just adorable <3

 

[Joe-black-5]

My list is:
1-Mr.Goblin: (Infernal, Rain of fire, Thunder Clap, Death Coil)
2-ike_ike: (4 + 1 free )
3-Banana Hunt (Liked 1rst 3, didn't like the 4th and the 5th)

 

[Azeroc]

ike and goblin icons are very nice, but I like Goblin icons better =)

 

[viiva]

voted ike, nice work

 

[-JonNny]

I like ike_ikes style of icons and HappyCockroachs icons look great to

but i just fucking love Mr.Goblins Inferno, Rain of Fire and Thunderclap
~voted

 

[Gilles]

I wish everyone uploaded images of them in-game with normal wc3 icons.

 

[Nightwish.ger]

bananaHUNT, the only one who really owned wc3-icons. the tornado is just to awsome.

 

[Aeroblyctos]

Mr.Goblin.

 

[Rising_Dusk]

I wish everyone uploaded images of them in-game with normal wc3 icons.

You kidding? The rules were so poorly made, people could make more than 4 icons and the judging has to pick the top 4! There's no way something as logical as what you suggest could get into these contests, man.

Anyways, just give this bananahunt fellow the reward. They're the best by a landslide.

 

[Kwah]

Goblin.
Banana.
Ike.

Ikes were a little too simplistic for me.
Banana's were great, but didn't really like the phoenix.
Golbin's had really nice depth, and colour. Didn't like Thunderclap or chainheal ass much, but the others were awesome.

Banana and Goblin were amazingly close for me.

 

[Devine]

I voted for Bananahunt ... I meh'd at my icons having 0 votes but that's the way contests go I guess.

 

[dansaDisco]

Well, contests with only 1 vote option and a lot of contestants usually leaves the mediocre submissions without any votes.

I think everyone did a great job on this contest, no bad submissions at all imo.

 

[Dentothor]

aww i haz no votes... Sad face

 

[HappyCockroach]

I'm gonna review some entries icon by icon...

3/5. This icon looks too much like a screenshot... The concept is quite boring, but ok.

2/5. Lacks quality. This orange color is too plain and the drawing is quite ugly.

4/5. The quality is good overall.

1/5. I can't understand what it is at first sight. Nor at second. But the quality seems to be ok...

3.5/5. Looks good, but this is not wc3's style.

4/5. It is very appealing, but could have more blood/etc...

5/5. Looks very good. It fits warcraft 3 more even than the original Carrion Swarm yet it has a cool concept.

3.5/5. The quality is awesome, but the concept is boring. Looks too much like an object, instead of a dynamic spell.

3/5. The concept is great, but the quality is not very good. The fingers don't look like fingers and some minor flaws, like the skull producing light and the shoulders being shaded backwards...

3/5. It seems you went for some good concept, but the execution don't make it look that good. The fingers don't look like fingers, that lines in the back i judged to be some dress rags, i dunno, I just don't like it much.

4/5. That one is awesome. just the warden shapes aren't that great.

5/5. Looks very good.

3/5. Although the quality is ok, there's nothing the icon suggest, if the name wasn't there, it would be too generic.

3/5. It looks good, but Phoenix is a bit overused, and no one tried the rebirth thing concept, all of you just drawed the phoenix. That's more like a unit concept than a spell one. Also, this background is too bright, lacks some contrast.

2/5. If I was you, I wouldn't sumbit this one. The tauren looks too boring, and this thing around his eyes look bad.

3.5/5. Does not have the shape of an actual skull.

4/5. Looks good, has good concept, but has some flaws.

3.5/5. The dwarf looks great, but the thunder certainly doesn't look like thunder. If you look at it you will see that the lightning lines are poorly made.

4/5. Looks outstanding at first glance, and that's what really matters.

5/5. Amazingly good. Looks damn evil and scary.

2/5. Oh, you shouldn't have submitted this one to the contest...the units make little sense standing at the black empty floor, and the healing rays are out of perspective at the end. Also the black outlines there are too noticeable...

I'd like to judge everyone, but it's too much, I've got some things to do now...

 

[FrIkY]

Actually, you can't judge, you are participating. ^^ Mr. Goblin's Inferno and Rain of Fire amazed me, so I voted Mr. Goblin. My second vote would be ike_ike and third is something between bananaHUNT and bigapple90.

 

[Revolve]

HappyCockroach, F%ck you Bigapples Death and Decay is in my opinion the best icon made for this contest. It's beautiful, wc3 style, spell like <3
In fact, im gonna give him +rep right now

lol, these are personal reviews, I'm pretty sure I can't judge.

 

[Dentothor]

HappyCockroach, F%ck you Bigapples Death and Decay is in my opinion the best icon made for this contest. It's beautiful, wc3 style, spell like <3

its not really wc3 style and i have to say i agree with HC cause it does lack in quite a lot of the qualities that this contest needs.

 

[Revolve]

No. No. NO!!! It's the best icon made

 

[dansaDisco]

No flamewar please. This contest has taken enough shit.

 

[FrIkY]

Now, now, Revolve. Everyone has it's own opinion. In my opinion, that mix between orange and purple is kinda wrong and I also can't understand what's shown on that Mass Teleport icon.

 

[PurplePoot]

I found the Death and Decay icon by far the worst of bigapples'.

Anyhow, I think I'm going for this:

1. bananaHUNT
2. ike_ike
3. Mr.Goblin

 

[Mr.Goblin]

I voted for bigapple90 cause he's a brain new member, and he just blow me away.. so, as a cheering message, i diffenatly want him to do more competition here at the hive..

cheers

 

[Hawkwing]

You kidding? The rules were so poorly made, people could make more than 4 icons and the judging has to pick the top 4! There's no way something as logical as what you suggest could get into these contests, man.

It makes voting a lot harder. Your opinion might get changed if you enter a bad icon, but it may get removed by the judges.

Edit: Also, I've made a report in the staff forums about HappyCockroach's vote. He did report the post to me as an accident and, once removed, it will be excused.

 

[terradont]

My vote is on ike_ike. The quality is awesome, and the concepts are epic. I especially love charm and blink.

My second vote( if i would have one) would go to bananaHUNT, same reasons as above, but faintly less.

My third would go to Mr.Goblin, who IMO has the best quality, but the concepts could need alot of work.

 

[Squidle]

1. Mr.Goblin
2. ike_ike
3. bigapple90

So my vote goes to Mr.Goblin!
The others did also a GREAT job, but I can only vote once...

If you are on this poll, you already have proved you're a worthy icon maker!
It's great if you made 4 icons and entered this competition.

AWESOME WORK!!

 

[a7xpwns3]

You forgot my entry.

 

[Devine]

You forgot my entry.

ROFL

pollfail

 

[Hawkwing]

You forgot my entry.

Well, the question was asked, whether or not we had all of the submissions, and multiple people said that all were posted.

 

[Mr.Goblin]

You forgot my entry.

hum it needed 4 remade hero spell, you did 3 (cause 1 is a neutral hostile spell)

you need an image of each icons, and the blp file that goes with it..

soo.. if we do accept your submission, you will loose in the Judge vote.. cause you don't respect none of the rules D:

sorry dude, nothing personal

 

[~Void~]

Goblin gets my vote. I would vote for banana, but the reincarnation didn't really fit the skill and the phoenix was kinda crap.

 

[HappyCockroach]

You forgot my entry.

Yeah, I told Hawkwing that they were all there, sorry if anything, I searched all posts and didn't find an actual entry of yours.

You have to make a final post at the end of the contest containing your icons, icons from the icon section are no valid entries.

You didn't group your icons in one post.
Also, you made an entry for Hurl Boulder, which isn't a hero ability. Also, Moonsoon, which I guess it's not a hero ability.
In addition, you posted your models in the resource section. Even if all your entries were hero abilities, the icons weren't approved at the Icon section, and they couldn't be downloaded or seen by any other account than yours.

I apologize not warning you...

 

[WILL THE ALMIGHTY]

Those are some amazing entries... my vote goes to Mr. Goblin.

 

[a7xpwns3]

Eh, wouldn't have even come close to third place anyway, so imma opt out

 

[Avator]

Mr. Goblin is going to blast all other contestants into oblivion xD
He has my vote, the votes of already 40% of the voters so far, and will probably have the votes of many more. It was pretty much inevitable xD

 

[Hawkwing]

Well, I liked Mr.Goblin's icons, but the Drain Mana icon looks like an alien being face-raped. That was my biggest turn-off. The Thunder Clap looked more like Ice Clap and the Chain Heal was just.. ridiculous.

I loved bananaHUNT's submissions, but the Reincarnation icon was very unoriginal and, frankly, it didn't really look like a Tauren at all.

 

[Mr.Goblin]

really D': ?!

 

[Hawkwing]

I hadn't seen the Chain Heal until very recently, and I said the same thing about the Thunder Clap before.

 

[TDR]

I don't like any of the icons submitted and I think none of them fit wc3 the way they should, but in my opinion Mr.Goblin's were the best from this bunch so my vote goes to him.

...Actually the only good icon out of those, imo, is bananaHUNT's big bad voodo thing. It's nicely drawn and could fit wc3 well. But his other icons dragged him down.

Edit: lol, HappyCockroach voted for himself...

 

[The_Silent]

Not a single person has voted on me lol -.-

 

[Kingz]

Mr. Goblin for sure.
I must say though the thunder clap does look like an "ice" clap
Others are pure awesomeness.

 

[Hawkwing]

Not a single person has voted on me lol -.-

/hug.

 

[Palaslayer]
