Hi all I just finished making my 4 first ever icons and I thought I'd share them and get some feedback. Here they are in chronological order (oldest to newest):

They are all from scratch, although I copied the bird on the armour from the icon for the human armour upgrade (copied by eye, not by CnP mind you :)

So, please let me know what you think, and suggest ways I can improve my icon drawing skills.

Yhea, they are pretty good, but not for warcraft.

Pretty nice indeed, for a first set of icons.

Suggestions to improve:
- make sure all proportions are correct
- play around with cool lighting
- sometimes icons look a lot better when they have a sort of background
