[ICON] Bristleback - Warpath

[graphiQ]

Hello PD Forum reader,

maybe you just think "Omg, another Warpath thread?!". Yes you are right, I know that there is L|Enzo's thread but that is the reason why I'm posting this.

Firstly: Current Warpath icon has bad background (it is not really black color as you can see below) and doesn't catch the essence of the skill. In addition the current icon is not in-game so we can replace it with better not in-game icon "without" MSI. It should be changed.

Secondly: Most people who response to L|Enzo's thread wrote "T-up" for one of his suggestions. I think that is not good decision. Read the third point if you want to know why =)

Thirdly: We should realize that the skill is not about standarts, flags or path (Warpath is just a great name given to this skill), it is about state of Bristleback, about his fury. So we can't fix the skill icon with better made standart of horde (btw quillboars are not connected with horde at all, they are neutral). We must give a form to his unstoppable fury. In addition, red color is a sign of fury of course, but big red flag with ornament doesn't fit to Rigwarl's icon set. So i want suggest new icon for his ultimate.

Current icon:


Suggested icon(s):



Curent icon set:



New icon set with suggested icon:



I think that it is good depiction of his fury, image looks like snarky pumba. The second suggested icon shows fury in his eyes too, but maybe it looks little demonic.

Pros:

• remove bad icon
• current icon will be free
• shows essence of the skill
• fits the color scheme

Cons:

• don't find yet, help me please

ADDED ICONS:

Updating thread again. I removed icons which you don't like (icons with green glow) and I think we have 2 possibilities now:

1. Use icon without glow or with decent glow:

They are clear, fit Rigwarl's icon set and they look good (note: there are more heroes with simple ultimate icon - like Alchemist, Dragon Knight or Undying - and it looks great!).

Pros:

• totally clear
• yep, they are simple but simplicity is beauty
• icon set fitting

Cons:

• you can say "it is not furious enough"

2. Use icon with orange/red glow to represent effect of the skill:

Pros:

• omg, what a furious beast!
• glow color is similar as color of skill effect

Cons:

• I'm not sure, if it fits the icon set now =/

Ok, that's it ... If you have some kind of graphic editor you can use the image below to try all variants of icon sets and compare icon set with furious Rigwarl on Warpath.

ADDED QUESTIONS:

Q: MSI?
A: If I'm sure, current icon is imported too so no MSI. In addition MSI isn't so important when you trying remove unfitting icon.

Q: Oh man that's horrible. It doesn't look like Rigwarl!
A: Wel, it is not a question =D But this icon doesn't look like Bradwarden. It demonstrates his natural great fortitude. My icon should demonstrate Rigwarl's fury. More in paragraph "Thirdly" ind this post.

Ok, that's all what I want to say. It is just my opinion. Your turn reader.

This! +1 T-up.

[thoby123]

Needs more DBZ-aura IMO, but the mad pig icon gets my support

[L|Enzo]

agree with you on this..
I remember someone used this for his icon

Yup, from W3 ladder, this icon is also of his model.. but it looks too piggy IMHO.. really, if you could make it more hero-ish, well, I give my full T-up here..!!

[ZΣD]

[graphiQ]

Necro: I can't decide which one looks better =/

To L|Enzo: Bristleback will look piggy in any form... I like suggested icon because it looks really wildly not like his fresh hero icon. Ultimate should be exteriorization of his wildness and fury imo.

To ZΣD: Poor pumba!

Hey guys, I found some icon for this skill on DA. Check them out.

Here!

Here!

Here!


First one is a little bit low, but looks most like Rigwarl and fits with Nasal Goo icon.
Second one is my favorite, but the Pig itself looks too dark (I think second icon glow with first icon head would be cool!).
Third one is worst, too extreme and makes him look too evil.

Mmm... There is not any perfect icon (each of them have some problem).
BUT I think that I can do changes to my current suggested icon to make Rigwarl more furious if you like.

I need more responses from other players, for example "I want orange glow, red eyes and lighter skin" or "omg no, don't give him stupid glow i like your classic version". Then I can do it more fitting. So help me please, I need your opinions..

[ResQ]

Well, this thread got an epic win.

t-up to everything, I love Schremba's stuff.

[DirtyEpic]

Schremba made some good icons, but they will cause MSI. by the way, your sug rocks and u have all my support.

First of all I want say "Thanks" to all supporters.

I will try to do a little summary. I think we have 3 possibilities:

1. Use icon without glow or with decent glow:

They are clear, fit Rigwarl's icon set and they look good (note: there are more heroes with simple ultimate icon - like Alchemist, Dragon Knight or Undying - and it looks great!).

Pros:

• totally clear
• yep, they are simple but simplicity is beauty
• icon set fitting

Cons:

• you can say "it is not furious enough"

2. Use icon with green glow to unite the icon set absolutely:

Pros:

• he looks more furious
• glow color absolutely fits the icon set

Cons:

• the green glow is totally inappropriate because effect of the skill is not green

2. Use icon with orange/red glow to represent effect of the skill:

Pros:

• omg, what a furious beast!
• glow color is similar as color of skill effect

Cons:

• I'm not sure, if it fits the icon set now =/

Ok, that's it ... If you have some kind of graphic editor you can use the image below to try all variants of icon sets and compare icon set with furious Rigwarl on Warpath.

I think we should now decide this: "What should be the color of his eyes?" and "What should be the color of glow? And should be there any glow at all?" So come on, we should solve this =)

Btw: I will add new icons too the first post soon.

[graphiQ]
