I agree with -enjoy- : background and blade have far too similar colors, making the blade and handle stand out, with proper shading / glow will will fix this problem. Other than that : Interesting sword icon.

- Rating : 3/5 (Nice)

Ok first of all I don't give you a voting now. I didn't download it for now, I only look at this picture and I need you to say the following:

As I saw it the first time (only the icon) I thought it is some kind of a WaterBlade. I think this icon need some touch of crystal. Maybe a blue color like this which looks more like crystal.
You should try to mix some of your blue you used and this blue I wrote the 2 words with. <-- This only my idea of a CrystalBlade and it is only an idea that I have here.

Anyway, I think you use some couple of times to create this and you did a very good work, that's clear. Also I say: " Vote for approval " as well.

Dr.Boom i know it doesn't look like crystal but it is an icon - this means that you can do what you want with it in your map it can be like water blade or what ever xD i just named it like that because i didn't have a name ;)

EDIT: Btw a new update xD

Yes you might be right about that. I just was talking about the first view - the first thing I thought about it.

But as I see you really work on the icon. Again in the new update you change this icon and it looks better (both look good ofc^^) as the last one.

This is more than one reason for:


+ Show up ingame
+ I like how you changed the handle (with the black color)
+ The Icon gets more and more crystal like
+ I see your work and you give your best

* Yes as I said some crystal touch is missing but this only very low now. I think everyone will agree to the name and the icon now.

[ + = good / * = neutral / - = bad ]

Please note: What I say here in the rating, is nothing against you or your work. This my personal opinion about this model!


~ Please approve this icon, it gets better!

I like the icon but i think that it needs more detail, the blade itself looks too simple, 3/5
