BTNShoulderArmor

This bundle is marked as lacking. It fails to meet the standard requirements and may only have minor use.

Thinking that every armor counted in pieces and give defenses. So does this shoulder armor worn by warrior. Boost defenses.

BTNShoulderArmor (Icon)

I think I like this one better. Try and work on defining the body behind the armor some. I also think its way too bright which distracts the eye from the focus of the icon which is the shoulder piece. when shading the shoulder piece, apply shading as though it is part of a 3d sphere to get more roundness and to give it a bit more 3d lighting. Right now it looks as though everything has a different light source.

Here i only focused on the shoulder pad to demonstrate the lighting. I only used the brush tool because it allows me direct control over what colors and shades im using, then i zoom out and adjust brightness and contrast to taste.

Edit: also, might wanna zoom in more on the shoulder pad to allow for more detail and focus the icon on the subject better kinda like these examples:

Thank you very much for liking it and advice :)

I see....so the top has light only and the rest will be darker. Alright, I will try to amend it later and repost. Thank you very much.

Try not to focus so much on the human body part of the armor, show some of the actual human shoulder but mainly just the shoulder pad itself kinda like this, Once you have that then focus on the shoulder pad, right now it lacks detail and sharpness. Look up some shoulder pad examples on google and get a good shape made, then add the correct colorway towards it.. instead of yellows add some greys and metal type colors towards it and blend them to give a armor look.

Alright thank you very much. Im remaking the icon and hopefully I am able to improve it on what you all have advice. ETA on update will be within this week.
