Also, I agree with midnighters. Never use white background. Black backgrounds are so more efficient. Just make some glow behind the weapon on a black background. Will make it look nicer.

enjoy: Very nice. Though it could use some more variation in shading and highlights, I think it is useful as it as, and I could see people using it like this.

In my opinon, you should get a closer picture of the gun as that this icon was mostly a background and not the gun. I'm sure that the gun looks well, but I could not really see it to know.

hmm enlarge abit on the gun so it will be less backround and try changing the backround color to something else see if it looks better in other colors because to me it kinda blurs on the gun (i dont know how else to explain it), but still nice try :)
 
Maybe you should learn to read, I was telling you, the background makes it bad, a white background on an icon can rarely be pulled off. The gun just looks like a black blob right now.

Now, learn to not be such an asshole, and learn to read between the lines. I have read most of your posts, and they look assholish, because you keep saying to not say anything if you can't say anything nice.

I have my rights to say anything I damn well please, much the same as you. I have more approved icons that you, and I am pretty sure I know what I m talking about.
 
Hehe, Midnighters... always getting angry, always getting sweary... (I remember your posts in my Inv system).

However, you must learn to take criticism. The background is not good. Change it to black, and just outline the gun with a small white brush. Really, I still don't see why you're doing gun icons. A whole pack has been made by Zombie, they are much better quality(no offense) and you should focus on easy icons before moving onto guns(as they can be quite detailed).

Holy crap...alot better. May I suggest zooming on the weapon, and you still haven't highlighted the small details on the gun (unless you did this silhouette style on purpose).

Hey thanks.. yeah i sorta forgotten bout some of the details.. i'll work on it thanks :D


Try putting the gun in a diagonal position, to maximise the area.

Will do~
