oh_snap: Reduce to blurriness of the background. The blade itself needs to have a more metallic feel to it, but the shading is properly placed, as it currently is. I would also suggest you add fiery runes to the blade itself.

oh_snap: Rejected until updated.

The sword looks like a stick :/, everything else is fine.

 

[Jacky The turtle]

jeah it look at a stick, adn why have green glow ??

 

[Gamecrafter_DK]

... It's not the weapon, the little dark groove is part of the sword. Dunno what it's called in english, though :/. My friend said the colours were okay, but i'm pretty colourblind... so i can't know. It's SO frustrating :/ Atleast, all colourblind'll think it looks okay ^^

I'm a bit colorblind too, i agree its pretty annoying . The colours are great, but you should make the sword more like a sword, nearly the same size as the fire glow, a bit smaller though.

Clicky

Like that, it looks like a wooden stick right now.

 

[supertoinkz]

change the green to orange+yellow

 

[Gamecrafter_DK]

You know... the little stick you see, is the blood groove the... green... pale thingy is the sword.. could use some shading though... And it was yellow when i applied it! (the green)

 

[supertoinkz]

oh okay, make it metal

 

[Gamecrafter_DK]

... As previously mentioned, i'm REALLY colourblind... i don't know which colour's metal.

 

[supertoinkz]

gray! and dodge and burn

 

[Gamecrafter_DK]

Lol... i understand grey... but what about dodge and burn? ^^

 

[supertoinkz]

lawl what program do you use?
Dodge is highlight while Burn is shadow >_>

 

[Gamecrafter_DK]

I use Gimp, so all the names of the tools are in my own language, so i don't know what they're called internationally ^^ But!, luckily, i were already working on doing exactly that.

Hey everyone! i updated it, helped by Supertoinkz words. Shaded the sword, yellowified the fire a bit more, used orange and red to make the flames too, ... wait a minute... just looked at it again... it aint yellow at all... is it???

 

[TheHunterKiller]

YES. That's it! Good work

 

[Gamecrafter_DK]

Thanks ^^ I was worried you didn't like it ^^

 

[Chief-Oblivion]

Looks better, but it looks kind of blurry and the colors seem... Dull. Good improvements though.

 

[Gamecrafter_DK]

'kay. Thanks ^^

 

[enjoy]

I like it

 

[Gamecrafter_DK]

Why thank you! I think it could get a bit more fire in front of the blade... well...

 

[Juan_Ann]

Its too blurred.

 

[Panda]

Seems to be little dark and can hardly even see whats going on.

 

[Deuterium]

The sword needs more brightness and contrast... it has to stand out in the icon

 

[Gamecrafter_DK]

Yeah... i see... The icon i made it from a 100x100 picture, where it looks better:

Sad that the resizing made it worse...

 

[Chief-Oblivion]

Usually when it's in icon view it tends to look better. You can totally fuck around with shading and when it hits icon size it looks nice.

 

[Gamecrafter_DK]

Yeah, in this case it was all backwards.

 

[Iyzz_Fryzz]

the sword looks rusty, brighten it a bit
then it will looks nice

 

[Gamecrafter_DK]

Okay... but i'm on my other com, so it won't be soon...

 

[MultiGod]

Blur, blur, blur.
and the fire effects dont look attached to it.

 

[Gamecrafter_DK]

Yeah, i'm still on my other com, but i'll redo it as soon as i get to my correct com. you don't have to repeat it... It was the original thought that fire also came from above the sword, and if you look closely on the original pic (a few posts back) you can see there's still some yellowish areas on the sides of the sword.
