Masks

[Kole]

I dont like the eye openings the icon is small as Rotem said i didnt have them for that reason the mask takes away from being human and i kinda like that it makes you look less human and more like a tool for war which Rotem is what Vampires see Wizards as tools for war

[Sara]

So you guys are a walking blind person now? Because that's what I see it as and it looks stupid in my honest opinion. Even "Less humans" have eyes to see out of, even if it's blind it has senses to see (Example: Toph). Masks are meant to have eye slits, in my opinion, for games and real life people to see out of. Characters "don't" see, but in game reality, they do.

Apeiro even pointed out that he doesn't "See" with his Character. Which is infact untrue. If we used a spell that blocks YOUR VIEW, it's because it blocked your CHARACTERS view. And as they look now, is the reason why I'm not bothering to get far to get them. You might think I'm being unreasonable, or a hater, but I really don't like the looks of them because I'm not going to subject myself into some walking blind person that I am not in the first place. What's the point of a mask if you can't see out of it?

Use your imagination. The mask is made out of mesh that still allows you to see. Like the original Spiderman costume.

[Kole]

Sara if you dont like them dont wear them stop complaining about it if you want something to look a certain way make an icon that looks better have fun with that

Edit: Oh right the mask at its widest is 8 pixels 4 of those pixels would then be taken up by a blank space if you wanted it open it would look shit the eyes 2x2 so in the one you edited the eyes are still partly covered instead of complaining about a minor detail in which if you changed would make the mask look shit look into other stuff that can be changed or added

[Apeiro]

Sara, please don't use things i say out of context. Thanks.

[Rotem]

I find this debate stupid, please stop.

You're more than welcome to post your different attempts of different masks and how they look but please let's not get into pointless arguments.

The masks came to replace clan robes, they can only be worn outside Hogwarts and because of that they won't be as largely used as scarves are. People wore their shitty deatheater midget robes with pride and they were fine with it so I see no reason to hate on masks.

[Rafi]

Thats the only choice

I saw your iron man mask and looked at it in detail its safe to say it did not remind me of Iron man it looked a lot like a luchador mask type of thing you had a lot of shades that i did not even tell apart when I changed the colour of one of them I was surprised to see how many pixels got affected so I decided to have a go at making it how I thought it should look from your base and this is my out come.

The side states are still a little weird I couldnt get a way to make them look right from my source photo I looked at (http://i.ebayimg.com/00/s/NTAwWDUwMA==/z/oB4AAOxy4YdTVkwT/$_3.JPG?set_id=2) The lighting from this photo was also a help as it showed how it would be shaded in the type of lighting I use (Top right corner) The Iron man helmet or lets call it Iron mask shows more red on the front as the gold is just a face plate that lifts up when he wants to talk to someone the eyes seemed a bit weird 1 pixel would not be enough so I changed it to be 2 wide to give it more of a look to it the other stuff I just used guides Rotem showed me I could have done the shading better but I didnt really put much time on it I probably put more time in writing this than changing parts of the icon.

The thing im trying to get accross with this is a lot of colours doesnt mean everything you pretty much only need 2 shades for each colour depending on size of icon and how many other colours it has and I suggest searching for a picture on google to get a refference from it even if you're not sure how you would like something to look if I make a new mob I search for what monster im making and see what they have in common pick one and use that as a base I hope this helps you with other icons you plan to make.

EDITED BECAUSE ROTEM DIDNT LIKE MY WRITING.

Reminds me more of Samus Aran's helmet from the Metroid games.

[Kole]

Samus' helmet would be a different colour and have a completely different design looking at h icon before the edits I did to it didnt remind me of Iron man at all the colours were off and the shading was pretty much unseen as the colours were too identical you also must think of the 3/4th perspective more of the top of the helmet would have been shown than that of the original icon.

[Rotem]

I don't think we can have an iron man mask at this shape, the mask would have to replace the head, it can't work with wigs. I do believe the mask kole showed is shaded properly but the shape doesn't fit for what you're after.

It's a fine study-case for how to shade though.

[Kole]

The shading could be better on it though i didnt work on the shading on all the states as i didnt add a different shade of red for the south state also i think it would be possible as there are masks for Iron man in real life a mask is different to a helmet they dont cover the whole head

[Rafi]

oh that one comment,yeah i havent read this one Kole :v

[Justin]

I just loled. If we are going with 3/4th perspective. I'm just gonna point out none of the masks are 3/4th perspective and neither is the base. :)

[Skystone]

I like Kole's reputation mask over the current ones. New one looks like alien-ish.

Anyone agree?
