I like it a lot. The yellow glow really puts the finishing touch on the icon. I don't know what the spell does, but it's probably going to be good consider you drew an excellent icon for it.

If I'm next mistaken that's a recolor of an icon that wasn't used in the game but was still in the MPQ. Due to the fact it's just a recolor I won't rate it, but overall, it fits the description nicely. Also, this belongs in the gallery.

i think its based off the spell from the statue... but its not a recolor, only thing is same is the glove and sword.

It's just a recolor, you didn't redo it from scratch, add major parts, ect--you added the lightning around the arm and sword and maybe recolored the arm, not sure.

Still, it serves its purpose, so I have no problem with it. It would be more unipque if it was freehand, but hey, all I do is recolors too :p I'd add some sparks and stuff shooting off the sword to make it look more like electricity.

he said that it WASNT a recolor and he did the lightning free hand and redrew the arm, the only thing that was a recolor was the glove.

Okay, I'm not going to get in a huge argument over what's recolor and what's not, but hte fact is is that he recolored the background black, recolored the arm to look human/alive, and he recolored the green glow to be yellow. Yes, he added some stuff. It's still a recolor. And I have NO problem whatsoever with that. But compare it with the original from the war3x.mpq

EDIT: Hmm, I reread this and decided it sounded too much like a flame. But like I said before, about all I do is recolors too :P And recolors are fine if they serve thier purposes, as long and you don't get the idea its not a recolor.

Like I said before, too, add some sparks aand stuff and it will look even better.

this is what i did

colored all the green black, so its just the arm and sword, added the flesh arm, and then did all the yellow manually...

so it wasnt a recolor, i dont even know how to recolor :p

Recoloring is exactly what you did--took one color and changed it into another. The yellow is freehand, and I didn't seem to notice that before... however, it still looks like recolor :p Green -->Yellow, Undead-->Fleshy, with the background changed to black. Like I said earlier, just add some sparks, maybe some small arcs of electricity branching off the weapon, and it'll look fine.

He redrew the arm too.

Notice in the original icon that the arm is a thin little bone.
In his icon, it looks like a human arm.

I like the icon, the only thing I think you should do is change the glove around a bit, heck really you only need to recolor the purple on the glove into brown/grey/yellow, or some less undead looking color and it will be great.
