Some Icons - Page 2

the icicle is awesome, although it looks like its going through water. the stone is ok, its just kinda boring. the ax, um, i don't really like it on principle and the shape is weird but it looks fine. the quality i mean.

Thanks for the crits, I'll keep trying at the axe until I can get it to look smooth, artistic, ready to kill, but not mass produced. The stone, I kinda like, it's the first that I did out of all of these. and the Icicle...

I guess I could keep this as an ability...

EDIT: @TDR: Yeah, I think you were right about the quality of the images being my noobishness... I'll keep practicing until I can get it right...

Nuclear Arbitor · 05-02-2008, 10:02 PM

try basing it off an actual ax. i take it given the picture that you want an ax made of ice as opposed to an ice ax? google is good.

Sunwarrior25 · 05-02-2008, 10:42 PM

Ok, I might try to base it on this one, and see how that goes.

EDIT: How would this look?

that's 100000 times better than what you had before. Though I'd get rid of those 3 ice dingle berries there, they don't do much justice imo.

Alright, here's the "Omg! Hurry up and make it already!" look:

...Anything I can do to the icicle, the green blob, or any of the +'s?

I kind of like the little ice chunks because now it's just one point to look at. The chunks make your eye move a little more. Although, if you can (and decide to) bring them back, you should move the one in the top right to the bottom right.

Sunwarrior25 · 05-03-2008, 07:00 PM

Like this?

I still want to do something with these:

man... I'm going to +rep alot of people when this is over...

Fluff · 05-03-2008, 07:07 PM

Better, you could make it a bit smaller and move it right more. I know its pretty picky. Whatever you like best.

Sunwarrior25 · 05-03-2008, 07:52 PM

All right, I tried to get the red recolors of the +'s to be less blurry, Here they are...

Nuclear Arbitor · 05-04-2008, 01:27 AM

the rest are fine. the crosses are boring but u said u just ripped them from dnd and they're not really important so i guess its fine. the 3 red particles look like a 4 fingered gloved hand though.

Can anyone prove that I ripped them from... *searches for dnd*

EDIT: ...Dungeons & Dragons?

EDIT2: Bah! I'm tired, I'll actually work on replacing these tomorrow:

Ignitedstar · 05-04-2008, 05:58 AM

Hmmm... The crosses are missing something. I don't know, the transition between the first level cross and the second level cross is missing something that makes me think that not much really changed. I know that there should be consistency, but each transition (from one to two to three) needs a little more kick to them. You have good base icons right now, but I know that you can do something creative with them.

Sunwarrior25 · 05-04-2008, 01:55 PM

Maybe if I make the red crosses more "bad" looking, it might help. Don't know how I'm gonna make them look especially different, as the blues are just healers, and the reds do the opposite... I'm stuck...

Nuclear Arbitor · 05-04-2008, 10:05 PM

u said in the first post that u took them from icewind dale, which is dnd. r the red crosses supposed to be inflict wound?
