Pyramidhe@d: Thick black lines and crooked. Fix these. Also, it is much too simple and boring.

Pyramidhe@d: ok. the lines are gone but it is still very simple and boring. You dont necessarily have to have a complex object to make it look interesting. Better colour and shading makes all the difference.

Does't match with warcraft icon style.
Need more details, shadows and highlights.

 

[Skipper]

I think it´s shaded alot, and details? it will blend, but thanks for feedback

 

[Adaethus]

Needs more shading i think.

 

[Skipper]

I have never painted WC3 style

 

[PetrKubelka]

Can you show in Big ??? to help you

 

[xDeathKnightx]

Could have some use i guess. Although maybe a background? 4/5

Needs more definition, more shading and highlights (you don't have any on the metal bits), and make the handle look more 3D. Also, you should add more details as this icon is too basic.

 

[xDeathKnightx]

Your Newer one looks better, but still the background is lacking. it is just faded streaks

 

[GhostThruster]

You don't need a background for this sort of icon.

 

[xDeathKnightx]

Yeah, but it would still be good to have one. Inless he is going to make like
Wooden Handle Icon
Iron Handle Icon
Steel Handle Icon
Silver Handle Icon
Golden Handle Icon
Platinum Handle Icon
Etc...
If so then i agree with you that there shouldn't be a background.

Sugestions:
-Show blade (just a bit) and handle
-Handle dont have to go out of icon view
-Cloth on handle dont have to be all parallel. Give it some angles.
-Define which cloth layer is up to an other.
-Handle is too colorfull. Try to change the color to something greish.

Here is one small example of how the sword should be placed on icon.

I need help with shading, I can´t shade very well :/ i have read lots of tuts but i don´t understand them :/ this is all about training

 

[xDeathKnightx]

Seriously, NFWar's tutorial will explain, it's helped me make some good icons.
