Here is a short comment on the icon:

- There isn't really much depth
- The colors are to monotone
- The shading wasn't good
- The background doesn't fit much

However it can be useful. Also the Katana is curved a bit, I should know that since I train NinJutsu and we use them there.

Overall 2/5.

EDIT: The grip is too thin aswell.

For the moment I have no time, yet I will try to update the icon with all the comments you gave.
Paladon, I'll send the psd over pastebin (pm) asap.
Please remind me if I would forget, thanks.

bounty hunter2, your comment hurts me.
At least suggest me what to do instead of giving these negative points.
(For example, shade the sword at the top, etc)
And, it can be useful, I'm pretty sure of it.
And don't point me twice at the same thing, I already know it is monotone and about the background, read the other comments before you post.

This icon is ANCIENT. It was originally on wc3sear.ch years and years ago and is included in TBR 1.2, which was done more than a year and a half ago (it's the icon for the Commander's Sword).

I have no way of knowing if this is the same person who posted the icon on wc3sear.ch but I can guarantee it's the exact icon that was there.

I am sorry it was a typo: However it can be used was my writing intention, don't you find it logical that after some negative points I write however and then something positive: It can be used. Anyway a typo.

I have read it but I wanted to sum it up, my entire opinion about it. Don't feel bad, I could never do something like this, I just pointed my opinion to help you as much as I can. I can suggest this:

- Make the grip bigger
- Add a bluish glow to the background

I can't say much more as I don't have the idea of what could be improved more I am not such a iconer. Don't be offended by me, I find a honest review to be the best ^^
