Do not upload unfinished material.

Kinda hard to see what it is. Do you have fullpic?

Offtopic: Yay 200 posts

I can't even remotely detect what this is. More effort, please.

Define what your trying to make please.

Was ist das? Das ist deine Numsegas! (I learned it from a friend, don't ask what it means, I don't really know)

What's this supposed to be? I can't see the sword in it. And I'm not colourblind.

Blends way to much into the background.
Also doesn't look like a sword. Try to look at a picture of a real sword while you are drawing, and make something cool on the handle.
Also zoom in, and draw it so you can see some of the blade, and some of the handle close up, like most other sword icons. Check them out
and make the backround a other color.

i don't like this

What is this...

100% rejected

the golden part, i take, is the handle right? anyways, put some shading on the bottom and white highlights on the top to make it look round and 3D
same with the blade, use dark blue for shades and strong white to show where the edges are
the point of an icon is to show the object. the background exists to supplement the subject of the icon or just because plain black is just too boring. what you want to achieve is to make an icon so that the first thing that you notice is the sword. right now, the main focus is on the bright blinding background. you should make the background less bright, less white, in essence, make it so that the sword is more strong and definite while the background is a bit more boring and dull
