Another entry, titled Dark Blast. I have attached a bigger version without the warcraft icon border. Warcraft has some kind of missile that looks like those circles on the picture, if you use that one as the spell missile and give it this icon... I just created this with gimp, nothing is copied from anywhere.

Edit: Wait that shadow looked messed up, give me some time to fix it please.

Edit2: Now it looks a whole lot better :).

Ok i made one just for fun, took 10 minutes so dont expect it to be good. Didnt know what to call it so i just called it enchant weapon. I made kinda a wooden border and its freehand (Cept i used a neon yellow thing for the yellow behind the sword, but still had to edit a bunch to make it go around the handle and blend in right)

EDIT: Added border to the enchant thing and uploading flare that i did about 3 weeks ago

So far Grurf's icon is winning. It has good production values, clean, easy to see, and looks authentic. Plus its clever because he based it on actual missle art. So you could make an ability actually look like the icon. Very clever indeed.

Hmm... Maybe :) .. I'm noob at making icons so i have no idea.

Made 1 icon tho, don't wanna post it here because

1. I dont know if it's in topic.
2. I haven't made a frame yet. ( So it's almost done, but it wont take long for me to make a fram )
3. I don't want to compete with it because I'd rather make a better-looking one and compete with it ( if you only can make 1 icon for the competition )

Okay...I'm going to sound like a grump here. I spent several hours on my icon coming up with something for what pyro said the genre should be. I tried several things and came up with what he issued for the required genre. I spent several hours on the 'just a satyr with fire' alone. And now I see this is random icon submission. So, not to sound too grumpy, but please withdraw my icon and ignore it--judge the others. I'm not mad or anything, I just didn't sign up for a submit whatever icons you have lying around competition. I do like Grurf's first missle one a lot tho.

The Vampiress was just lying around, but the Dark Blast icon was made from scratch for this contest. As far as I know, the rules don't say anything about the icons being made specially for this contest, or just submitting things you made before the contest had started. Maybe ask Pyromancer to put this in as a rule? In that case my Vampiress icon doesn't need to be judged.

    Crazy how much 3d printing has come in the last few years. Sad that it's not as easily modifiable though
  • Varine Varine:
    I bought an Ender 3 during the pandemic and tinkered with it all the time. Just bought a Sovol, not as easy. I'm trying to make it use a different nozzle because I have a fuck ton of Volcanos, and they use what is basically a modified volcano that is just a smidge longer, and almost every part on this thing needs to be redone to make it work
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I have a 3d printer for that, I guess. But it's ridiculous. The regular volcanos are 21mm, these Sovol versions are about 23.5mm
  • Varine Varine:
    So, 2.5mm longer. But the thing that measures the bed is about 1.5mm above the nozzle, so if I swap it with a volcano then I'm 1mm behind it. So cool, new bracket to swap that, but THEN the fan shroud to direct air at the part is ALSO going to be .5mm to low, and so I need to redo that, but by doing that it is a little bit off where it should be blowing and it's throwing it at the heating block instead of the part, and fuck man
  • Varine Varine:
    I didn't realize they designed this entire thing to NOT be modded. I would have just got a fucking Bambu if I knew that, the whole point was I could fuck with this. And no one else makes shit for Sovol so I have to go through them, and they have... interesting pricing models. So I have a new extruder altogether that I'm taking apart and going to just design a whole new one to use my nozzles. Dumb design.
  • Varine Varine:
    Can't just buy a new heatblock, you need to get a whole hotend - so block, heater cartridge, thermistor, heatbreak, and nozzle. And they put this fucking paste in there so I can't take the thermistor or cartridge out with any ease, that's 30 dollars. Or you can get the whole extrudor with the direct driver AND that heatblock for like 50, but you still can't get any of it to come apart
  • Varine Varine:
    Partsbuilt has individual parts I found but they're expensive. I think I can get bits swapped around and make this work with generic shit though
