I put this in Awaiting Update because it needs lots of reworks towards. Fix the shape of it so its not so stretched looking and fix the blurry aspect.

Too much details wouldn't fit into 64x64 size. It looks dirty and pixelated. Although we could easily tell its an Altar on sight, refinement needs to be done to get it approved.
You might want to add stronger highlights to make it less blurry. And... well, the Flow of brushes in PS does have influence on making icons blurry if you don't know how to manage it. I think the Flow amount between 5-30 really needs a good management, unless you use a higher value. Use a better/higher contrast if you use low amount of Flow. Maybe this is not the reason for blurriness. You might have used Smudge tool for blending the brushes too much.

Just my opinion and suggestion:

(If it is worse just ignore it :p)

It looks like everything is too stretched out, and it looks really blurry. I would make the structure of the whole thing look straight instead of stretched and try to figure out why its so blurry.

Well, I thank you for comments! To be clear, I point this: I tried to do something unusual, it can be named "a new technique", ) but the result is not so good so far. I'll analyse it again and rework.
