[ICON] Reapers Scythe

HoOf · 06-21-2009, 11:21 PM

Necrolyte has a very colorful skill set with bright greens and purples, but the only skill that is out of sync is His ulti which is a bright orange.

The icon is also used by Guinsoo wear it is much more suitable because the Icon is described as 'flaming' The Scythe also does not look like the Scythe used by the grim reaper.

Here is that icon:

My suggested icon follows the color scheme

of green - green - green/purple - green/purple

It also looks much more like the Grim Reapers Scythe and imho is a much nicer looking icon.

Here is that Icon:

Now for some comparisons:

Current Skillset:

Suggested Skillset:

Please tell me if you think the scythe should be flipped in the other direction.

The base icon credits go to runes of magic editing done by me.

This will increase mapsize due to importation.

Thanks for your time and happy voting :]

Its too . . . Obvious? You know, it doesn't have to be 100% accurate icon. But I like the colors, but not the icon. Find something more appropriate, but use those colors. Also this needs importing, and I never found any problems with original icon, even if it is the same as Guinsoo.

The reason I decided to make a reapers iCon because i wanted the flowing colors.

The fact that it is also used by guinsoo is more marginal but i feel its more suited for guinsoo.

I thought that if i was remaking it I may aswell pay tribute to the name and have the actual 'REAPERS SCYTHE'.

Why not just recolor the ginsoo icon?

The icon looks good for now. Your suggested one is nice too but would result in MSI, not to mention it would look better if you showed some souls and stuff

Null vote for now.

Looks too... cartoony... I'm sure we could find a better picture of a Sythe

Reaper's Scythe should be more monotone imo. Or one at least with a b&w shade..
