enjoy: It actually looks nice, but I think you should add a bit more contrast, and center the sword just a tad more.

@Magtheridon96
Thanks!

Just too low of a quality. You need to immprove your shading and those white lines are ugly. Though I'm sure you still can immprove it.

 

[rcshaggy]

The idea is great, but the icon itself needs a little work and like tleno said; Make sure you improve it a bit and try to make a better icon next time.

 

[Mumbis]

Thanks for your comments!
Ofc I can improve it ^^
Tell me exactly what your bugged about :3

In my own opinion, it looks great in the small version (The actual icon)
And I think that drawing to much on the big version then reducing it will just kinda mess up the icon :O
But i'll save this and try improve on the already mentioned parts then i'll notify you so you can take a look again ^^

EDIT:
removed white lines

the compression is too high because random pixels are visible to the unaided eye
also the handle rather looks like smoke than something solid

 

[Mumbis]

@D4RK_G4ND4LF
You mean when I turn it into a blp I shouldn't compress it to much?
or when I lower the size?
I srsly can't see anything wrong with the small icon
Maybe it's just me but anyhow.
Just tell me more specific what to fix and maybe an example so I get more what you mean? x)

Hmmm I can guess you weren't using GIMP. If it's true then you should use it, it gives better result

Anyway, about the sword, I think you should make a different shape since there's already a lot of them. You can search them if you don't believe it. So, to make people download YOURS, you should make the sword has something unique, something special (try to think about it).

Try to read some tutorials about shadings too. I suggest NFWar's tutorial, it totally helps me so I guess it'll help you too.

 

[D4RK_G4ND4LF]

I attached 2 pics showing your image and how it should look like if you compress it properly (both are 64x64)
just use the button manager from the tool section and use its scaling feature
of course it will look even better if you use gimp and scale manually to peserve the details

 

[Mumbis]

@sPy
Ok, downloading Gimp
I just resized it in the prog I painted it in :S isn't that good?

@D4RK_G4ND4LF
Didn't really get your pics.. But the gimp thing I got!

i'll give it a shoot and upload it!

EDIT:
Saved it as a higher quality.. Also saved the BLP in the original size then let the button manager do the resize work instead of the actual drawin prog

It's a red square.
Wow. 5/5 +Rep and vote for approval.

Nah, joking aside:
I think something went wrong in the uploading process. :S All i see is a red square.
With shading.

 

[Mumbis]

@Dragonson
Wut?
Something must have wen't terrible wrong ><...
Redoing.. ;o

 

[Dragonson]

Heh, no rush.
I dont know why but i just cant stop laughing right now.
Red square with shading... man, this uploading error (or whatever) for some reason made my day. ^^

 

[Mumbis]

Should be fixed now xD
Lol, happy to make your day

EDIT:
Centered the sword!
EDIT:
Added some contrast to it!
