Pyramidhe@d: I have to agree with many people that you have used too many different colours. Keeping a limited range of colours is one way to keep the icon looking consistant and whole. I guess this is the look you wanted so leave this one and just keep in mind for the next one. and like some have already said you need to keep your straight lines straight and your curves as perfectly smooth curves. The green part of the blade. i dont exactly understand what it is so you gotta fix that, blends in with the lightning, and is making the edges of the sword undefined

The icon looks too messy as it is now.

Full Size


This took me a while to make.. i wanted to do better but i still like it..

To much colors on the blade? and not enough good shading. Also, the shape of the whole sword is quite weird too me.

too much colors? its a sword with Green, Blue, Red, White, Black hmm.. where u want me to put more shading?

Also, for the shape, it was the goal cuz im bored of normal swords

New Version. is it better?

I'm in agreement with Army-of-Pandas about the swords shape, it looks a bit like a square rather than blade like its a huge really blunt weapon, and it gives me the idea that the sword it like this:
_______________
|_______________|----
witch imo is very strange it doesn't appear to have a blade at all, make the blade more odvious plz.
As you said your goal was to make a differant sword, but this is more like a box :S

However i do think the colours are fine, but i'm not the one whos good with colours. i dont have anything more to add.

On the white part of the blade, make that the light part and then on the opposite side make it the dark part. Also, the handle needs some better shading too. Use what i said first too do that also.

in fact.. its a bit like a box.. with a little Blade on the right side of it.. thats waht i wanted to do..

u want me to make the little blade a bit bigger?

hmm AoP.. i'll draw something to make u see from where the light is coming..

check it

it doesn't need to increase in side, but make it easier to diffrenciate between the sword body and blade. Other than than it's pretty good. ^^

well.. i'll make it bigger.. so it will make it ez to see

New Version, does it make it ez to understand that, thats the blade of the sword

Now its much better, if your making a sword remember that there's a light and dark side, which you did that with this. Nice job. Now focus on the handle a little more.

ok..

New Version, should be good now

I think there is too much different colors in that small 64x64 image.

Lol , not to much color , I Like it

Straighten the lines within the sword and make clearer definitions between the colors or it just looks incredibly cartoonish. Add more shading, add more glow to the energy in the background, and do something about the handle as a whole.

I love the colours. Nice work.
