[SD/Texturing] SOLVED: Give aura for standard warcraft crate icon

[Barbafire]

Hello once more people from Hive! I'd like to request two edits for my project:

I'd like two more SD icons, based on standard SD warcraft crate icon, one with a blue aura, and one with a orange/red aura, like the aura from weapons upgrade from orcs race.

Spoiler: Crate Icon

This is a print screen. I don't know how to export standard icons, yet.

My project follows an art direction based on ranks, and most of them uses standard icons, with similar appearance. Some equipment are easy to follow, as unit upgrades have 3 different icons, one more powerful than the other, but for the crate or treasure chest, I didn't find on warcraft, neither here at Hive. Example below:

Spoiler: Items Art Direction

Line 1: Rank 1 Items
Line 2: Rank 2 Items
Line 3: Rank 3 Items

What I'll do with them: I'm creating a "Luck Box" shop, that will sell those crates. When bought, player can receive any item, at any level, and even boss drops (Random item). The standard icon will be the Rank 1 Mystery Box; The crate with blue aura will be the Rank 2 Mystery Box; The crate with orange/red aura will be the Rank 3 Mystery Box.

If you think you'll need to change something, like zoom out the icon to highlight the aura, do it. You are the artist.

As I'm crediting everyone that, somehow, is contributing to the project, with a unit with his name, populating the arena, I'll credit the artist with a highlight location inside the project.

This is my first art request here at Hive, so If I did something wrong, I apologize in advance.

Thanks in advance.

Hello, I read your request, and I can offer you these icons(Simple recolors). The icons based on Inv_tailoring_70_garmentrack_opera icon from WoW. Here are the following, without borders:


Another series based on inv_crate_01 from WoW without borders:


You can add borders with icon borderizer in this website, or use Button Manager.

Hope they help you out.

The second series of icons will fit perfectly. I already saw those icons here at hive, but passed as they didn't have glow colors. EDIT: I'll just check if the glowing aura fits well, or if they need to be a little stronger, but they have the essence I was looking for.

I'll not show how it looks for now, because my PC is in maintenance, but when I check it, I'll post here the result and your highlighted unit, as promised.

Thanks for your time.

If you want me to change or increase the glowing aura on the inv_crate_01 series, just say it, and I'll see what I can do for you in sunday.

Hi HuanJuan! I could only read posts today.

I've tested today the icons, and I'd aprecciate very much if you could spend more of your time editing then. The auras are almost imperceptible inside the game. You can empower then, make them bigger and brighter, like the standard upgrades on Warcraft.

PS: My PC is still out of service... I'm improvising for now.

Now, I truly believe that the difference between those crates are more than perceptible. For me, the edits are 110%, as they fit perfectly in the project's art direction.

I'd like to thank you for your effort and time. About my lil' project, he is almost two years old, raised by me everyday =).

Would you like to have your name on a specific hero model, like Arthas or Cenarius, or other one?

EDIT: I'd like permission to post the icon series, with the appropriate credits.
