Apheraz Lucent: The only thing that bugs me here is that leather, even when black, should reflect light heavily. This one is a bit dark, but the base color you used digs this a bit. I'll approve this anyways, it is useful.

Here 'ya go, icon wip:
V2: Added more highlights

Maybe a few more highlights too make it pop and its good!

It's great! Although you can add more colors to like gold or whatever you want. Because it's monochromatic right now. But the shading is really really good.

Well, that is really a problem with the item I choose to draw, because these kind of boots is just black and nothing else, haha.

That's the problem though, nonetheless this is amazing !

Looks great, but you could try how it looks if adding 3D shadows, to make it look less flat

...adding 3D shadows???
Have u read the rules?

I meant adding these shadows that add some three-dimensionality, like the ones at the borders of the parts that are at the very ends of the drawing, which are totally missing in this icon.
I use the expression 3D since it is, for me, the same concept as three-dimensionality.
I think I am long enough on Hive to know the rules.

Perhaps add some background glow.. just a dim light in the back.. possible blue-ish glow.

The boot looks good, but i'd suggest some small improvements.
For reducing the unused space and breaking the monotony a bit - it could use a bg, nothing fancy, something fitting.
Also, it wouldn't hurt for the boot to be a bit more voluminous/bulkier.
To be honest, i prefer the first version plus more shading, but some more shading could be added to the new version too.
