This bundle is marked as recommended. It works and satisfies the submission rules.
Hurrah, StaberFire is submitting resources again!
Well, it's true. After a long period of critiquing others, I have finally started to allow others to critique me.
This icon is simply a sword imbued with some type of red magic.
Give credits if used, do not redistribute... blah blah blah.
Oh, I almost forgot, credit to KelThuzad for his Icon tutorial, which showed me how to correctly shape and shade a blade.
Also credit to TDR for his Colour Blending tutorial, which helped me with shading the sword and making the glow smoother.
Update1: Gave the sword more shading around the edges and on the face. Redid the red glow and added a gradient background for more eye-pleasing. Also added credit in the description for tutorials.
Update2: Added rune to the blade, removed gradiant and put in a background. Also added some highlight to the face of the blade.
Update3: Put a couple more runes on the blade and detailed the red beckground.
Keywords:
Red, Sword, Magic, Power, JohnStamos

don't like the red.
maybe adding a nice bright red glow?
and it's hard to see, that this is a sword. maybe add the handle

Well then.
Imma do a review without a review format.
Well, doesn't fit WC3 style, is in dieing need of shading, and the red... sparkles?... just look plain bad.
Please, replace the red with some SFX-ish design and give it moar shadings. Also make the blade less generic.

Those red sparkles indeed don't fit at all, if the are meant to be orbs give them some movement. Otherwise, i would advise a standard glow, maybe wuth some litle sparks. The sword is ohright though

Thank you all for your suggestions, I will get to work on fixing the glow and giving the blade more depth today.
Once this Icon has reached an acceptable level of quality then I will make more with different colour glows.
EDIT: Updates, here are a couple more WIPs.

Rather plain, backround has more space than the sword itself. Create details or decoration on the sword to make it more nicer.

Usefull
+ The highlights are very well made!
± Red... glow?
- Doesn't has a background
Improvable Things
1) You should add more overall glow to it.
2) Add a background, would improve it very much!
You don't have to change the Improvable Things, but it would be better.

Alright, I'll get working on it today.
Agenda:
1. Detail the blade, probably with runes.
2. Give the red energy around the blade a little more chutzba.
3. Remove the gradiant and do something remotely creative.
