BTNHeadcutter

I was bored, so I decided to practice some more, this time not a sword but an axe! Inspired by some tutorial I've seen on THW (mostly the shape).

This is decent, but you need to rotate the axe. Axe icons look way better with the blade pointing sideways, angled downwards, or straight downward. Never tilt it upwards, though, then it just looks weak. 2/5, but it's pretty close to a 3. I do like some of the details on it, just the overall look is wrong.

i will agree on some of what you say but the thing about the angle is not true - if you have seen or remember NF-Wars axes.

as you can see the angle is not fixed to be downward..

anyway - this icon is pretty sweet 4/5

This is really a great icon, Hadeis. Not to offend you but I have seen your other icons and they are blurry and this is really different better.

Some suggestion, I suggest put blood in it to make it more of a Headcutter because blood symbolizes like it killed something.

Overall, have my +2 REP for the nice work done here!

The angle pointing upward isn't what makes that icon look good, it's simply drawn well enough that the angle can be ignored.

When you chop somebody with an axe, the blade points down. Unless your grunt fell on its head on the way out of the barracks and holds it with the blade pointing up, but then you might as well hold a stick because that's all you'd be hitting them with.
