Yay my commission is done! [livejournal.com profile] abbyspeak did my grumpybutt belf Death Knight, Haken! My goal was to get an icon for LJ, but doesn't the full sized version look great, too? :D And she's taking commissions! So if you want fanart or need an icon, talk to her! She's fast, communication was great, and as you can see, she draws really well. :D

However! I can't decide on which version of the icon to use! So help me, friends list! Which of these do you like best? I've been staring at them so long, I can't decide!

Grrr. The LJ poll won't work for some reason (maybe you can't have images as the answers...) So let's do this the hard way! Okay, maybe polls are just totally broken, I can't get it to work with even just number answers. So leave a comment! Which of these do you like best?

#1: #2: #3:

Edit: Polls closed! #1 and #3 were basically tied, so I made a command decision and went with #3. :) However! I kept #1 uploaded on LJ, so I can switch between the two if I want!

I like #3 the best. I tried to answer the poll but yeah, it wasn't working right.

No clue why the poll wasn't working. I can only assume it's something on LJ's end -- I've made tons of polls before, it's just a matter of copying and pasting after LJ creates it for you. :/

Thanks for your vote! 3's been my favorite as well, though I keep wavering...

1! But 3 is a close second.

Last night I didn't like 1, but now I'm wavering closer to it again. They're not even all that different, it shouldn't be this hard to decide! :D

Going to be a pain in the ass here, heh: I like the cropping in #1, but I feel like the text style used in #2 is easiest to read, at a quick glance.

It's funny how people differ on liking the close cropping or not. I like 2/3 better because it seems to bring the focus onto his face more, but I included 1 because [livejournal.com profile] naikitty (who got a preview of them) liked that one best and she's an artist...

I keep wavering back and forth on them. I can see where 1 works better, but then I can see merits on 2/3 as well.

I guess it's good that I like all of them enough so that I can't decide, means I'll be happy with whichever one I end up using! :D

Exactly! They're all good, and so any one of them will serve the purpose excellently as an icon.

I vote for #1! You can still see his face and you can see he is an elf wearing armor...on the tight cropped ones it is hard to tell what that one ear tip is.

Ah, good point. I had been more thinking about not being able to tell what the armor was in 2 and 3, I didn't think about the ears as well. Hmmm.

Thanks!

1 or 3. Either way I think the text needs to be sharper. They both kinda seem...out of focus it's weird.

1 and 3 seem to be the two in the lead so far! Thanks! :)

Something I thought of after leaving the comment. I think that #1 goes better with your main icon you use *pokes thistle cor* since it kinda has the same sizes...that is, as long as you pretend WoW doesn't give you MASSIVE SHOULDERS!!111!!1!

Ha ha ha, good point! And my first ever LJ use of new WoW icon! :D
