Rexxar Axe Missile

This bundle is marked as useful / simple. Simplicity is bliss, low effort and/or may contain minor bugs.
Here’s the icon i made for Rexxar’s axe—to match Rexxar's Storm Bolt Missile by The Nightraven
We did it ourselves since Blizzard just wont bother.

*UPDATE
-fixed brightness as suggested by Altruistic Alduin
-added variations

Set as useful since some AI was used apart from the freehand, but still could be useful in some states.
Such a nice icon
yea thx buddy :D
Hello!
I checked the Icon Ingame and it fits so well.
Exactly what was needed for reforged Rexxar to be complete.
Thank you for your work!
You're welcome! :D but he still needs the right icon for stampede
btw whos the icon moderator here?
 
Hi! Thank you for making this icon, and I apologize for not giving feedback any sooner. The change I did was minute, making it a bit brighter but keeping the contrast intact because, simply brightening the image would make it closer to whitening including the supposed dark aspects of the icon, like the wood of the axe, or the color of the axe itself.

If this change is considerable to you, I can send them to you in the DMs. I also redid the disabled version for the command button and passive button icons.

yeah no problem man, i prefer mine but yours looks great actually, and thanks for putting your time into it.
Can you send that as attachment? i wanna take a closer look
 
The files themselves here? Here you go. I also included the adjusted icon without the borders. Thanks for providing them. I would've pull my hairs out if there's no borderless version to work with. :vw_death:

There's also this, though not exactly useful. I resized the icon from 256 to 512, sharpened it, polished, and added very little fake noise for detail on the icon.

But back to the original icon, my other feedback is to make the lightning (blue) version have the background streaks looking like actual lightning. Maybe use the original Storm Bolt icon as reference, as the effect on this icon vaguely resembles lightning strike. Maybe add blurring effect behind the axe to resemble it like it's being thrown, and not just a still-looking image.

you right about mine being too bright, but also yours are too gloomy, so i did somewhere in beetween and highlight some edges and i think this is final

Nah man, it’s too difficult and not worth any more of my time, so I’m just gonna move on to the next thing. But feel free to mess around with it.
I can send you the base axe
