zombie2279: The blade could use some more highlights and I think it would look better with a glow. It's nice, but quite empty.

This bundle is marked as recommended. It works and satisfies the submission rules.
Some kinda bronze swording partially turned into ice? :]
Anyways, I based it off the Heroes of Might and Magic 5 skill called "Cold Steel".
I tried to make it look as much as the skill image/icon, yet still make it a bit different, and turn it into a more Warcraft-ish style. So I hope I didn't do too bad. :]
Personally, I think it turned out awesome, so if this doesn't get Approved I'm gonna commit suicide. ...Or maybe not.
As always, 100% freehanded. Made with Paint.NET.
And by the way, I don't like HMM5. I just like the interface icons they use for... Well... Creatures, artifacts, Primary/Secondary skills etc.
So credits to 3DO (HMM devs) for the inspiration.
**UPDATE**
-As requested, a glow has been added.
-Amount of highlight and general contrast on the sword has been increased.
Keywords:
Sword, Blade, Edge, Frost, Frozen, Freezing, Cold, Steel, Heroes of Might and Magic

If you think it didn't turn out too bad, maybe I'll make some more HMM5 (or HMM3) icon look-alikes.
EDIT: The...umh, orb thingie on the crossbar on my look-alike is NOT supposed to be a skull like on the HMM5 Cold Steel skill. Just so you know. ^^
And by the way:
To hell with HMM4 and HMM5, it screwed up the lovely series.
Go HMM1/2/3! (Specially 3
)
Here's the concept too, by the way:

Hehe thanks. I'm away for the weekend (typing from the network @ my hotel right now), so I'll add a glow when I get back, as several has requested it.
And I might make more HMM look-alikes
EDIT: Yes, you might be right. The angle of the razor/blade/sharp part/whatever you like to call it is a bit off. ... Like it twists, or something. xD
I'll see if I can't fix that too
EDIT2: Sorry Paladon, I decided to go experimental on this one, and tried to make it 120x120, rather than my normal format of 500x500. And I forgot to save the god damn original
But I'll see if I can't find some sort of way to prove I made it free-handed, as your post seems skeptical to wether I made it or not. :O
I'll try to make my next icon 120x120 too (I kinda liked it). If you wish, I'll save WIPs or make absolutely sure I save the original format. Sorry I forgot this time, I'm going to make sure it will be a once-in-a-life-time coinsidence.
Again, I would like to apologize for the inconvenience. I am definitely no CnPer. 0.o

Thanks a lot, Mare!
And thanks for understanding, Paladon. Honestly, I was pretty sure you trusted me, as I haven't been asked for WIPs/Full-pics as proof since my very first icon.
And ehh, kk, I'll make it 128x128. How big a difference does it really make? The only I can figure out on my own would be that my border manager tool will divide the format by 2 instead of some long, cryptic number (like 2,129482049 etc, for instance)... Does that make any impact on the quality?
Oh, don't bother. I'm just curious.
Anyways, I'll make it 128x128 if you say so. ... You're the expert, I guess.
And I'm already planning to make a glow, Zombie (moderator's comment). Expect an update.
EDIT: And about the sharp edges, well, I usually add a minor Blur effect around the edges to make them a bit smoother. But in the small format, the effect makes it look blurry, rather than making it look smooth. So I had to leave the icon without it.

Uhh, 'scuse me, but... WHAT?! ... Is that supposed to mean?
I hope you're just messing around with me now, 'cause that sentence made no sense to me. Honestly.
