Sin'dorei300: I'm glad that u want to make icons, but for this u must read tutorials, learn and practice.
Atm it doesn't look like a whip at all, it's too thick & short, it lacks texture and the flames need to be improved a lot.
The shape also needs a lot of improvement.
In one word, it needs more work.

Sin'dorei300: First of all, in order to draw all those details that have been suggested, u should use another format.
On 64x64 canvas, i doubt that u can succeed to put in value the whip's texture and flame details.
I picture a burning/flaming whip dancing on almost the entire surface of the icon, undulating flames leaving behind smoke, shouldn't be so much unused space.
Your whip looks more static than in motion.
The whip is long, we couldn't capture the entire whip and its details to remain visible enough, and yet in ur icon remains sufficient unused space.

The flames are a tad ketchup-ish looking right now, you might wanna redo those and lessen the intensity a bit. Also if you'd take a closer look at flames 'n' fires then you'd see that there's more than just red as a color.

Looks like a feather for a pen, or a phoenix feather. I like it!

 

[Sin'dorei300]

So, u drew it in 64x64 format?

Yes, is that wrong?

I think you should maybe improve the flames.

Well for one, there isn't many whip icons on the hive! Ok, so i think the whip itself needs to be either a grayish color or some color other than black since the background is black and mess's it up. Also, yes the flames do need updated, usually flames have an aura and don't stop in one place like you have on your icon here. I would use up the unused black space in the background and make flame auras and some flames coming off the whip making it seem deadly. Me personally i would make the whip have leather instead of being just black and someone put lighter fluid on it and lit it on fire, yea know? thats just an idea.
