Dont give up..
I had a similar idea, but it is quite difficult to create unitframes from scratch..
I will share the work/links soon.. when my post count is enough to post links...
Im using Photoshop and I'm getting better at it.. Just never felt comfortable to share work in progress and always unsure if it was worth the effort.
The idea is to use the crests and extend them in to unitframes, have them be part of eachother. And than use MagicalDandruff's eyecandy idea of spellauras around the crest..
I've been following this thread.. yes..lurking.
There are some great ideas here, I see lots of new and unconventionals turn up and couldnt control myself anymore and will join the fun..
I'll screenshot my mess tonight in raid night..
The problem is that it's parts from a game that released early 2012, whilst im sitting on a 4k res
But anyways good timing you wrote this on, found a LITTLE bit better pic to cut it from.. Gonna tune the edges alittle bit more though.
Edit: i actually starting to think imgur makes the sharpness difference worse, it's NOT this bad ingame
That looks better, try and see if you can sharpen the whole image.
Also, if you make 2 layers of frames in game (Guessing with WA) , the HP bar can go in the middle layer, so you can create some overlay and perhaps shadow the edge of the healthbar. This sharpens it and creates some depth again. Now it looks like it lays flat on top.
Im expecting healthy feedback now when I have enough credit to post links.
You need to make 10 posts before you can post a link. Otherwise you can always just cut it like. www(dot)imgur .com
I thought you meant something like that but wasnt sure.
You mean like this? top = border, bottom = old pic
(shit pic just made it like this to see if i got your point right)
been basicly playing with this setup in like forever. slightly modified version of freeUi, weakauras, bigwigs, grid2 and a heavily modified version of ouf_mlight for the unitframes.

I really like your setup!
It reminds me of my own (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xiHgv4hyrGc), which makes sense since we both based it on freeUI. I might take a few of your ideas :>
Right, my setup than..
Mostly Elvui, as it just makes life easy for lots of things, but am slowly replacing things.
UF is Pitbull for example, Vuhdo for raid..
The Spells around the crest give me reminders thru Weakauras and I have a Weakaura that shows me absorb left on Clarity of Will.

Concepts
For my creative mind I have some concepts running. They stay concepts lots of times, but I like playing with them.. I absolutely love how the top one worked out, and I think it could fit in a UI. Though I dont always think everything needs a big overhaul right away than. But thinking if I can add ToT frame and Pet and perhaps Minimap and Buttonbar in similar styles.. Just some playing

Yes, I use a similar look in VuhDo.

I just use a pixel font that scales well with monochrome outline.
