zombie2279: The whole perspective is too generic and simple. You should have angled it at least a slight bit to give room for more 3D details. It looks too flat now, the shading is lacking and the texture doesn't look wooden at all. The level of details used and the glow seem to be quite okay. I suggest further zooming in, to give room for more details, maybe leaving out a part and detailing the shading/highlights afterwards, which will naturally make the whole icon more realistic. Adding a background, like lightning effects or some sort of summoning effect would also be a good idea.

Update it anytime you wish.

Review,
---------------------------------------------
1:Looks to small, doesn't really look good straight in the middle.
2:I would say to make it straight instead of twirly effect you have on it now.
3:Cant really tell what the decorations are, as in "1" you might wanna make it bigger or re size.
4:Backround may be needed.

it's not that good (sorry) , i think you need a background for the icon like desert or somthin .

If you have a wip, resize it to fit a picture. In other case, add a glow and background effect, like lightning.

err You messed up this icon man... straighten the totem zoom in a bit add some shading on the middle and more detail in the same area. After that it should be perfect with a bluish glow behind it and what not.

4/5

I agree with others, you need to make it straight and you need to put a background behind it You should also make it a litle bigger so we can see it and add some shading. Otherwise pretty good

 

[krisserz]

It`s more bird, not totem.

Looks good, but you still need a backround or somthing, maybe if your gonna make a nature and a water totem. Then you might wanna make this backround brown and then make as for the water totem's backround blue, if you get what im saying.

 

[krisserz]

Hmm, yea. The background will be a nice add-on.

Why don't you try to put the totem in diagonal, closer and a background?

Take a huge transparent brush and select only the background then just flash it behind the totem.

 

[expazatrix]

Looks way f**king better! Nice one!

 

[krisserz]

Still no background. The whole icon looks empty without it.

 

[Somnium]

Yeah, looks betetr but the totem has a strange glow on it ? It just seems kinda weird to me. I think you added a background to it, am not sure it's a litle undefined ( It's pretty late here so it might just be my eye sight. ) I think you could make the totem bigger so it extends over the boarders But just my opinion.
