This bundle is marked as useful / simple. Simplicity is bliss, low effort and/or may contain minor bugs.
Okie, so i said I will make an icon a day so here is a late submission for today :D.

It can be used as a shield, damage reduction or whatever, if you require any addiotional formats such as passive, feel free to ask and I will upload them :)

I think this is my best icon yet :D
Am open to criticism :D (Y)

Edited it so the shield is bigger. I like so am not going to change it anymore ^^

Review,
------------------------------------
1:Looks quite nice man,
2:Shield needs to be a bit bigger.
3:Also, the shield could use some more detail but it looks fine at the moment, good job.
------------------------------------

(All my recommendations to your icon, you can choose to use these or not, your choice.)
Thanks, Army-of-pandas.

The object itself is quality, but the glow could use work/removal. I suggest you zoom in to the object a little more so that it fills up almost all of the icon space, and then add some kind of effect around it, but make sure to leave some black background showing.

Right now it's a 3.

huh ? What do you mean make it synchron ? xD

-Somnium

i mean that this shield is shown from front perspective, but the 2 sides (left/right side of the shield) are not synchron, you can also see that @ the fin al icon, so i´d suggest you to take an earlier version, mark one half of the pic, copy it, and mirror it. ofc u have to redo the effects after that.

attached an example of what i am talking about

I would agree with this, but now there's no shading at all. Maybe if you put some brightness on the top and some darkness on the bottom, it would look better. Remember not to screw up the saturation.

your style of iconism is interesting... i like it! :p only reckon the glow needs to be a different colour or a larger area of white so shield stands out more

Yeah guys i will remove those lines, make it jsut a litle smaller, and add the old background.

And yes my style of making icons is diffrent, I am inspired of Guild Wars icons, I just simply love them. Thanks for the support and i will not be able to make something today so I will do 2 icons tommorow.

Take care all.
