Taking all icon requests!

[Ulqiorra]

Title explains it all. I will now be taking icon requests!

Examples of my work:

So request away!

 

[bojjenclon]

I have to say, your icons are unique. Some don't look very good, while others look amazing.

 

[Ulqiorra]

Yeah, I know. I don't like the second fire, or the background of the first fire, and I only kind of like the first sword. I'll have to work on that first sword.

 

[WalkingAbomination]

For the swords (imo) the main thing you need to do is add more shades of color because they look too plain, the last sword looks better than the rest of the swords though, just take a look at the rtp sword and you'll have a good idea on how to soften the look better, for the flame i suggest going for a smoother form, looks too jagged right now.

E- Use zoom man, we can all critique these better ^^

Hmm, although this is a nice idea, you should work a little on your icons, for example, the first sword looks like it has a gradient or something, and if you think of a realistic light source, they usually shine from above (Or close enough), yet your sword is dark on the top and light(er) on the bottom, and the black outlines aren't helping too much (Even though I like black outlines, lol)

Here's a quick adjustment, it may not be the best thing ever, but it's an improvement;


Hope that helps a little...

PS. Save your images as .png please, there were 7 shades of white around the sword, and maybe 12 shades of black on the outline, .bmp = BAD.

 

[Ulqiorra]

Try this:

 

[Jason]

Try... what ? there's nothing there, lol.

Edit---

Nevermind, it's loaded now.

Hmm, well it's definately an improvement from the first one, however, I have a slight problem with the tip, it looks like you've just put odd speckles of light on it, and the lighting on the handle still looks a little off, the light should be shown on the right if you ask me, although you've made it appear lighter on the left.

 

[Ulqiorra]

Sorry, had the wrong exrension. Try now.

 

[Jason]

Try to lighten the highlights on the blade, because at the moment it's still kinda hard to see the light, and maybe soften the line going up the middle, it seems a little dark and stands out an awful lot.

 

[Ulqiorra]

A'ight, I completely resprited it.

 

[bojjenclon]

That looks good man.

 

[Jason]

Yeah that looks much better, just wondering though, what are you saving it is ? (Filetype), cause I think I see speckles around the edges...

 

[Ulqiorra]

Sorry, it's a Jpeg, but thanks for the validation ^^ very helpful for my future icons.

So does anyone have an actual request?

 

[Jason]

I'll be nice and make a request to keep you on your toes;

A scythe with a frozen blade.

A flaming katana.

Three variations of musical notes.

(I'll actually be using these)

 

[bojjenclon]

I'll make a request:

Ok well you know how I made the graphic request for low color images? Well I need some icons as well. So I want low color images of the following:
A cardboard box open on one side
A water bottle 3\4 full
A basic pair of pants
A basic pair of shoes
A basic ring

That should keep you busy for a bit.

 

[Ulqiorra]

@jbrist: Do you like this one?(I'll try again if not):


@boj: Do you find these acceptable?



These aren't all of them, of course ^^

 

[Jason]

Hmm, sorry that I wasn't specific enough with the Scythe, if you've ever played Soul Calibur 3-4 you'll know the style I want (Zasalamel's Scythe), if not;

 

[Ulqiorra]

Where's the image?

 

[bojjenclon]

Awesome, can't wait for the rest!

 

[silver wind]

The last sword looks great. :thumb:
I request a red star which looks metallic, if it's not too hard.
