zombie2279: Altogether quite good, but fix the blur and remove the mess. Also, I think the sun on the top left corner is entirely unnecessary.

zombie2279: The outlines still need more contrast.

Looks way to 2D, doesnt it? and it needs more shading oO....
but pls leave your opinion here.
what do you think oO?

files attached as requested:
work in progress

and psd

Yes, needs shading... It has a cool cartoonish look. I think it's nice! 4/5

this is gr8!! looks pretty good, but what angle is he/she holding it at, 1-360?

well mhm the angle is 0 when the hand is hanging directly down so i would say something like 130 degrees ?

+rep
and could you pls rate it

I'm going to hold my rating on this one because I know you can make it look alot better.

Yes, it needs shading. Lots. Just think realistically; the light source is right across from the sword, so there should be some small intense shadows on the opposite side. Makes sense, right? Just keep working on this one and it's sure to become a great icon.

Looks a lot like my Holy Strike Remake...
I like it.

But the hand could use some higher contrast, and to be honest I think the background seems a little... Well, I dunno... Boring, perhaps, when there's a tiny sparkle-thingie in the corner and the rest is a solid colour. Could be my opinion, though. I would recommend making a little more variety in the background. The sun/star/light thingie in the corner is fine, but some different yellow tones rather than one solid colour would spice up the rest of the background, in my opinion.
Atm I'd say 4/5, but if you could do something about the background, and possibly the hand, you'd definitely receive a 5/5.

thanks +rep
working on it

This only needs shading and rather the rest looks good.

Hmm, some more shading, and put some contrast between light/ background/ sword. Overall nice one!

Looks better now, although I kinda liked the sparkly, glowy, shiny thingie on the previous version better.
But anyways, seems nice. Not bad for a 3rd icon, anyhow
