plumo Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 I agree the old one needs replacing. But in my opinion the perspective on the new one is not good. Can you turn the camera, make him look to the player? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wowgetoffyourcellphone Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 The glow doesn't look like the other icons in the game. Maybe try again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stan` Posted September 7, 2014 Author Share Posted September 7, 2014 (edited) Other icons were made by Mythos_Ruler. I don't know how he makes them. Also I don't have the same experience.A third one : Edited September 7, 2014 by stanislas69 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pureon Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 They need to be clearly identifiable when at small icon sizes - Neither of the icons proposed here are suitable for this reason. The composition is also incorrect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

niektb Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 These new icons are certainly better than the old one, but I think I would go for a different pose.I would try to make the glow darker (and a more subtle noise) and the wolf itself brighter.

Pureon Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 Composition ??Look at the first one - The wolf is positioned to the top left of the icon. If anything it should be central, or slightly lower and to the left so that his face isn't hitting the side. In the second one the wolf doesn't fit the icon space. The third one is just the second one with a different glow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

niektb Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 You can center layers using the align tool in Gimp, Stan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stan` Posted September 7, 2014 Author Share Posted September 7, 2014 Since it's print screen tweaked in paint, it's not really square at the beginning. But thanks I didn't know that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radagast. Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 perfect. This atmosphere the icon creates is interesting. I love wolves, but I'm not happy with what they eat, I'd prefer them being vegetarian. Keep it up, Stan! Your effort be honoured. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plumo Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 To distinguish it more from a dog, can you make it howl? This way it is clear to anyone even from a distance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stan` Posted September 8, 2014 Author Share Posted September 8, 2014 (edited) I can't easily, cause there is no anim doing such thing. Edited September 8, 2014 by stanislas69 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

niektb Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 I think I would extend the glow since the tip of the nose and mouth fall in the dark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lion.Kanzen Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 Just curious, what effects do you use ? He uses Pureon's technique is smilar to mine but with 3 layers a noise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wowgetoffyourcellphone Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 (edited) In Photoshop™ use 3 layers for the subject (background layer is black). Bottom wolf layer is outer glow with noise (20% opacity, 25% noise). 2nd wolf layer has outer glow (20-25% opacit). top wolf layer have drop shadow to complete the effect. Sometimes if use "sharpen edges" it give a little cartoony look to subject for good portrait style. Looking at art depository Pureon uses separate layer for hand paint glow effects, while I just use layer style. For glow color use off white or creamy color.
