Yeah I don't like it either but the easiest way to make what he wants is by letting him tell me once he sees a start. This is what he described he wanted--the interpretation of that short description is relative so he will have to elaborate for me, but I had to start somewhere. It is not a self-made frame, it is copied directly from a blizz icon.

A little change...

HOLY :eek: . u hit EXACTLY what i wanted !!!!!!!! THX ALOT!!!! omgi never knew anyone who was that good!(o btw cherry blossem makes random flamestrikes/frostnovas/thuderclaps happen all over it AOE for about 8 seconds. with about 4 moves happening every 1 second.

so as you can c, this is the exact icon i was looking for!!! :D THANK U SO MUCH!!@!!!!!

MooMan: I'm glad you like it! Lemme convert it to .blp tonight and I'll email to ya. Send me a private message with your email.

CrazedCougar: I assumed you wanted an icon for such an ability but Moomans got me second guessing now. Did you want an icon or...?

Atalatna: I downloaded something called WC3Viewer. The icons in warcraft are in a file format used only by blizzard, and no art program can use them. WC3Viewer allows you to convert these files to other formats which CAN be edited. Find the icon tutorials at wc3sear.ch and WC3Viwer.

Thanks for the input guys. Here's another one. I'm not sure if anyone will be able to tell what this is )= I will have to learn just how clear and vaugue I need to make these things so that they're discernable. Can anyone tell what they think this icon is depicting?

Looks like a demon coming out of a portal (in a very good way).

Your icons are amazing for a beginner, 5/5 of all of them so far :D.

they're.. awesome!

what he said. you should start submitting to war3sear.ch. i have a request, i want an icon that shows an ice monster thing, and a fire monster battleing each other, and also, an icon for the ability anti gravity (just be creative). third, could i have one thats this fire/ice sword, with lighting in the backround?





ok, one more: this huge mountaingiant like thing smashing sum1 into the ground, with like a huge craetor, you know.

Haha a competition, that would be fun. Thanks guys for your compliments :) I will work on those icons tonight pyromancer, but the lot of them could take awhile. Could you describe your anti-gravity ability a little bit? Do units float into the air...?

WOW! Where did you learn photoshop???

I like totally suck on making my own drawings in photoshop.. i dont understand how to make them look 3D, i mean that they have shadows and that... Do you have MSN? Youve got to teach me some master :)

Its called the 'Drag' or maybe 'Push' tool, I use GIMP and its real easy... just pushed down the frost nova, turned down the frequency for the fire, or maybe just copy pasted sections, then for the lightning im not sure but looks good but a bit basic. Could you make one lightning only :D

This is the post with the icon

Yeah the blossom one was easy for sure. I just pasted the icons you see, and the lightning takes about 10 seconds. I think Adde was referring to the streaks of light and shadow I put coming from the figure in the portal.

K here's what i got so far for you Pyro. The fist one may not be at all what you wanted if you wanted to see like an entire mountain giant. Fitting a mountain giant and a unit hes crushing would probly be indecipherable. I could do a mountain giant punching the ground, or a fist punching a unit but not both--lemme know. I think the fire/ice sword is pretty cool tho.

here's a slightly different fist.

How about a big rocky foot above a cowering Footman or something? That would work.

Ah, Ok.. But i mean how does he draw characters that looks 3D?...

Well now he answered it to me anyways. ( In AIM )

EDIT: Nice sword Ruination.. Well sorry to say it but i dont like those other fists so much:(

But everything else has gotten a 5/5 from me!!! (The sword 4/5 and fists 3/5)

No offense man. Everybody needs fist icons too so keep up the good work!

The sword doesnt match the energy of that icon with the firsts at all... The energy (Whatever its supposed to be) should be orange like the sword ;)

    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
