Comment: I can't see a clear concept in here right now.
What is this? You may get the same result with some filters. Try to think of a clear concept matching with this icon and overwork it.
If you keep the "Demon Mark" idea, you should accent the icon with either runes, glows, something special.
EDIT: Oh please, update it.
EDIT: Link + DISBTN border is incorrect.

Feedback would be great

My first really good Icon.. so far I think.

 

[Kingprice]

Yeah your icon looks really cool
The colours are really cool
gj man

 

[RaidonGod]

freakin' amazing
I like it

 

[Zombie]

The full pic is quite good, the resized pic is not so good. I'd like to recommend you to sharpen it and try adding a slight glow.

 

[Avex]

Any tips on how to make a glow?


Cause Im still learning with the new photoshop, neon glow filter doesn't help me, oh wait filters are no nos.

 

[Avex]

Bah didn't see the moderation, paladon you should send PMs to show that we need to fix it.

Im messing around with it in Photoshop, what I may do is use the circle and a bit of the waves in the middle then make a rune or something in the middle of it.



Edit: Is there a reason the image wont change.

 

[Zombie]

I think it's way too blurry now. Try sharpening it and add more definition. Try to shade the rune in the middle or add highlight effects and sub-runes.

 

[Avex]

I tried sharpening it and it looked HORRIBLE, and I'll try highlighting.

 

[darkdeathknight]

try inverting it. It might look cool...or wierd. it might also become another icon

 

[Paladon]

You added somekind of rune? It is, still, very hard to define, especially caused by the general blurryness.

 

[f0rsAk3n]

Hey man looks good.

Remember to use Hidden Tags for images

 

[Avex]

I cant do much to finish it paladon, I've tried many things over the past 2 hours, nothings working.

 

[breebree123]

too cartoonish,needs more highlights. .nice shading though. .4/5

 

[a7xpwns3]

I, personally, am not a huge fan of this style.

It makes it too generic and undefined.

I'd have to give it a 3/5, seeing that it could be very useful.

 

[Avex]

Any more highlighting would drastically RUIN the icon, like, pixels will appear and it turns really bad.

This is the last I can do with the icon.

 

[Zombie]

Still really simple.

 

[Avex]

Its not simple actually Zombie, that first graphic took forever to make, (not that random blob, thats what it was at first, then I really started to mess with it) and then I shrunk it to the center, and put in the rune. Any more highlights would damage the image, darkening would just put it back as it was when it required highlights, I tried re-coloring but it turned out horrible. Inversion made it just UGH, this is the last I can do.

 

[Zombie]

I'm sorry to say this, but the effort you put into making an icon doesn't necessarily reflect the quality of the result, which in this case reflects a wide array of simplicity, taking into account the simple color scheme, the lack of a well-detailed object and the totall absence of shading. These criterias drastically take down the level of quality, when taken into moderation. I would suggest you a complete reworking or if nothing else, at least attempting to do something with the rune would surely do good.

The rune needs more definition, meaning that he should not use this soft pencil but a sharp one. Then you should add redish particles flying away from the rune.

 

[Avex]

No changes made? Wtf? I did make changes, highlights and better strokes, I fixed the DISBTN. Are you blind?
