zombie2279: The idea would be good, but the execution is really lacking. The object doesn't really look like a sword, both shape and coloring-wise. Redo the shape to be sharp and to resemble a real sword, you can reference if that helps. The shading is really weirdly placed, I don't understand why the lightning is coming from the middle of the sword. Essecially, it makes the whole thing look way too flat. Re-design the highlights and shading while ignoring the spell effect in the middle, try placing the light source (invisible) to the upper right corner and shade according to that.

'Till updated.

enjoy: way to cartoonish and needs shading and details.

Original size (512px * 512px):

Pretty cool. The sword doesn't look sharp or something, dunno.

The breakin' parts could be more like they're falling down...
And... It needs more small details.
But the background is very nice and original IMO.

Oh noes, not another pickle sword! D=
Lol just kidding, looks good and useful.

Hmm, Sorry but like i see no sword here just a round cylinder or like a "pickle" and that is also not sharp as people say. I suggest making it a sword, and adding the broken part too symbolize that it truly is a broken sword.

I like it... However, it doesnt look to much like a sword in my opinion, but it still looks awesome.

Total update.

make the sword gray? for now it looks like a leaf

Hmm,.. Good idea!

As many other have pointed out, make it look more like a sword... sharper. And it shares the same problems as your thorn bush icon. Too many of the pieces are 2D only and lack the metallic texture of a blade or metal fragments. Try not to use your standard green color for everything, well, at least for the sword. The sword viewed from that angle should also have thickness. And you need a complete reshape of the blade. Please make edits.

Make it sharper. It looks like a green boomerang now. The idea of a broken sword is nice
