Pyramidhe@d: The glow is too much, define the shape of the sword a lot more and try not to make it look mundane.

enjoy: I don't see any visible changes? Rejecting it untill updated. As said before, I recommend you to find some tutorials. Here is some sword tutorials.

The aura surrounding the sword is of too high opacity. Reduce it, because you will get the classical (yet true) comment of "More definition".
Right now it is way too simple. Check other sword icons and let us know why you think this should be approved.

Hello young icon maker!
Something that is important, when you are ready with your icon ( from your opinion ) you have to look again and watch other icons if they have the same standard.
Train alot before pulishing your icons at the hiveworkshop.
You'll just have hard critique... sorry but this is far from acceptable!

Ok what we got here - "BigSword"

My first idea was, that this is something like a white obelisk or something like that, but then I saw the the icon name and I had to look closer.

I don't want say you did a bad work, at all you said you just beginning with creating icons, but you should make this sword more metallic and add a better shadow. This shiny aura around it, can be a little fixed to, I think

+ Works ingame

* Maybe you should add the icon type for "attack"
* Yeah, this need some fixes at all

I think about waiting with rating (atm I would give only 2,5/5 - 3/5) but I don't want give you this. You just started with that, so the beginning is always hard.
Also you don't should think, that I think you do bad icons. This is only a comment, that you should keep your work. I know you can more!

Edit: And please don't think yourself it's lame! This is only your start and you tried your best <-- and that's all about. When you have more experience, it will be better - don't give up!

In the mear future i will make something similar to this sword, but eith a handle, some more shadows, and mettalic gloss, then i will delete this sword.

You have something very good at hive - Tutorials. Read several and then try to create an icon - you will notice that your skills will be slightly increased with each tutorial...
