my 1th custom ability icon!

I just finished my first custom ability icon, and i though you guys cud tell me what i shud change, if anything. Its created for a skill in a map im making, "board". You can board/ (charm) enemy ships to capture them, this is the icon... Hope u like it;)



Plz do not use this icon for your own map, its planned for my own.

And dont send me mean replies like "why would i use it for a map, its crap!"

You forgot to add an [/img] to the end...

Fixed it:D

Ja ska ta re på svenska =)


Den ser inte riktigt ut att ha att göra med skepp.
Men den e riktigt bra om du har gjort den freehand.


Du vet väl att din signatur a ENORM?

is it mostly copy n paste looks like it
but its still SWEET @$$

The logo link was wrong, sorry i think its better now (jag tar det på engelska=) Well its mostly copynpaste, the core is normal "human transport" icon, then i took orcs level 1 melee upgrade, made the thingie you hold it in longer and copied and layed them over eachother. Made some freehand adjustements, put em together and voila:D

And i got another idea for the skill, maybe if i put water behind them up to half the icon insted of the ships? so it looks like an attack icon with water behind so it means "attack on sea = board". What u think about that?

Ill post a icon with water in a sec (HAND MADE=D)

Wee i made a new version of the Board icon, i think this one looks cooler (found a glow function!):

looks good..keep working..8)

MantisScreamer needs this "glow" function ability!

It looks ok, but you should change it so all you see is not just the axes.

Also, this should be in the gallery.

[MOVED]

Ehm if u mean u wanna use it, its inclued in photoshop. I just searched through the menus:D

Yes i know the axes is alittle too.... big? I though of making them like 50% transparent so its like a ship with fades axes on.... ill put up a picture of one with tranparent in a few min....

EDIT: Added a new, with transparent.



The white roof interfered with the white+transparent blade of the right axe, so i cudnt make it more transparent then this. I though of changing color of the roof though...

EDIT2: Made a new one:D

Water = a skill in sea
Axes = War
Sky = burn and smoke



Plz post something about it if you read this:D

EDIT3: Hmm you can clearly see that the sky and water is totally handmade by me=D I shud fix that alittle.

looks good... try starting from scratch... black background(cept the border)and do everything free-hand like what i do... believe me, u will get better when u do this:)

Ok... ill try that, thanks=D

im glad that u will try, i dun like icons that are based-on, or cnp or recolor:) its okay since its yur first... im getting better after each icon i make... remember, dodge and burn tool is meant for abusing... not for looking at... and yes, dun overlap the border plz:)start out with lines(obvious), then give it base color, add details, color them, more details(if u want), burn/dodge it, make 2nd layer for some additional effects:)
