Zombie.: Unfortunately, attempts of shading can be hardly seen on the icon, that's why I'd recommend you redo the shading once it's resized to 64x64 aswell. It looks rather flat and the contrast between the highlight and the gray blade is a bit too high. More shading to the handle and the outer parts of the blade please.

Zombie.: No changes made, rejected until updated.

They look soo... Flat, Don't think a paper thin blade could cut much.

Here's the Big pic, enjoy!!!

This needs HUGE improvements on shading and highlights. Right now it looks like MS Paint quality.

I hear some whispers......"Shadow...."............."Highlight".......

You need to give more shadows and highlight to the icon, if you do that it will look very good,

The drawing is very good just de highlights and shadows and it will be a great icon

By.... well im not saying "bye" this time

This one also is very rigid and flat... :s

Nice idea, but i have some suggestions. First, i would separate both of the swords abit, like how you have them overlapping make them seem like there on top of each other because at the moment they seem attached. Secondly, i would do something towards the background because it seems a little plain right now.

Thanks for the suggestions, this took me like 5 minutes, so ill be working on it.

Edit: Heres the new updated pic, added Sort of snakes on the blades and other stuff.

Edit: Fixed handle, fixed few things.

Shading. Highlights. Bleh.

Moar highlights and shading, maybe glow or background, too.

Update: Added background.

Looks approvable

please, add some shading here....

Please specify where.

Still too flat imo, it needs more vivd colors, more shading here and there...
the drawing needs to be edited in one way or another...

Hmm, overall nice, but now it doesn't look like swords. Fix the shading on the swords and sorta separate them a bit so they arn't so attached like i said in my other post.

Updated again: Fixed shading and highlights, seems perfect to me now^^

moar shading, boy.

Ty for the suggestions, however i find the glow around the blade quite awesome, any1 else agree?

no the glow looks like something smudged. use airbrush for the glow I suggest. or use a brush with 50-75% opacity.

EDIT : The glow looks to thick too.

More Highlights on the swords. Also maybe change the angle, so it looks like the blades are hitting eachother with the sharp edge of the blade.
