zombie2279: The background is now terrible. It's lacking and distorts the rest, try adding a mild, blue glow. About the rest, you could try either darkening the ice or the staff, the two blend too much into each other. The spear could use some further shading, you should maybe zoom in so there's more room for details.

Probably your best one so far.

This icon presents us a metallic spear in the foreground decorated with icy particles and frozen water hanging down.
The background consits of a simple blue glow giving us a cold and chilled athmosphere.

Yet again, i advice you to practice proper shading. You clearly defined the light source in the background locating the glow's center in the top left corner.

Thus, you should darken the object to the right bottom. Although you already darkened these areas, you should increase the shadow's intensity a bit.
It shouldn't be a big deal since you seem to know their proper locations.

The icy effect is quite good, i still advice you to expand small icy particles over the metallic handle of the spear.

Yeah, you're getting better ;D

Nut use more shading, don't be afraid to shade it, because as I first look at it I thought it's that bird thing (leaf or what).

And make the background darker.

Update look icon above...

Added more shading ... little smaller ... made some ice on the spear,..

Its kinda hard too see the spear itself, maybe make it so you can see a little more of the spear than the ice.

LOOK, ITZ A TREE!
Nao... Joke... [broke=HAHA YEAH IT WAS A JOKE... MUAHAHAHA, dude... why did you clicked on me!?]Or was it...?[/broke]

The head of the spear needs to be improved.
I like the background, but it doesn't really fit with the theme.

the shading is decent, but the shape is just awful

I really appreciate your nice helpfull comments.

Im gonna have to totally disagree.
The shading on the spear itself is aweful, the shape is not actually,
just look at the handle o:
I dont wanna grab that thing D:
I suggest looking at my handle tut. as fast as its uploaded, Im not advertising here,
its just simple and looks good :>

So your saying that i should shade more the handle, or what?

It seems many spellmakers are making icons/skins now instead xD
Me, You, -BerZeKeR, Paladon, Palaslayer^^

@the icon: Pretty nice work, although the ice might need a bit more work It needs that glassy feeling^^

Psyko, i are stil maek spel.

There is something missing on the icon, I just can't figure out what :<

Maybe the lance shape

Thnx guys, at least someone supports my icons and not say that they SUCK !

We are telling you to add shading aspects to the spear, not to the background.
As i already mentioned in the first post.

I did but i want the spear to be bright, isn't it full of ice, at least it should have some brightness and less shading on it.

Now THIS Background fits...
Nice one ;3

its still once again the shape of the object. the spear is fine but the ice doesnt look like ice
