zombie2279: It still looks rather empty and the shading is weird. Refrain from mirroring and add variative details, like scratches, gems, runes, writings, nails, figures or whatever and rework the highlights to make it look more metallish. It reminds me of a mushroom, I don't know why.

I know it looks kinda LOL, but im always open for reccomendations.

Using that axe is a good strategy because when you go into the battlefield the enemy will drop his weapon to point and laugh. lol just kidding but you are going to have to make some big changes (or redo the icon)

- The blade shouldn't make a sharp point at the end since its an axe

- The part where the blade comes together with the hilt is MUCH too small, it looks asif you can break the thing if you hit someone too hard

- The design of the blade isnt really effective

- The Hilt and blade needs more detail and the hilt needs to extend beyond the border if you want to call it an axe

* Try to imagine yourself using the weapon you are drawing in a battlefield, that way you will know if the weapon is effective. Take your weapon for instance, I wouldnt choose that weapon because it has a blade tilted 90 degrees from the hilt that i am supposed to kill enemies with, it looks too light to strike a decent blow, and it looks just plain uncomfortable to fight with. I also have no idea how to hold the weapon to fight effectively since the hilt is so small and one powerful blow could cause my own weapon's blade to go into my hand or could cause the blade to detach from the hilt.

When looking for flaws in a weapon, imo if you find more than 1 flaw (1 is already almost too much) then the weapon should be redesigned

sorry but i give you 1/5 until updated

Edit : I saw your other icons and i feel what i have said here could apply nicely to them as well (especially the double blade)

Damn -Stygian-
Anyways.
Review,
1:Blade end need to be sharper.
2:Handle needs to be wood textured or some type of texture.
3:White glow on handle needs to be removed. (doesn't go with the icon theme)
4:The 2 points coming from the part in the middle of the handle that goes out-ward needs to be reworked and resized.
5:More detail/decoration needs to be added.
6:Handle needs to be little bigger(longer in size) because i say this is that the blade part is big, so the handle needs to be big so you can actually hold it.
7:Shading needs working.

(All my recommendations to your icon, you can use these or not your choice)

It looked like a leaf on first sight ^^ GJ!

Lol, i made this at 3am in the morning, i just wanted some ideas on what to fix on the following day, thanks every1 ill start working on it, btw this was originally a shield, that could explain the Shape of the main part. The handle was just a 2minute thing i added b4 sleeping. Today ill be away most of the day so it'll be atleast 2 days to fix this^^

Edit: I updated it and removed the handle until i can make a better, effective one, i just want comments on the actual top part. Is it decent enough? Comments? Recommendations?

Edit: Im gonna play some LoTR games to see if i can get good ideas or something^^ Maybe watch the movie again.

Edit: Added a new Handle.

it looks nothing like an axe im sorry to say. it looks more like a pike-ish thing to me. even then, the handle needs more shading and the back of the blade is very akward in shape. another point is the the whole thing looks leafy and not metalish. you should really fix this.

 

[The Panda]

Its looks better now, You just need to make some edges straight and reworked and also make a good backround.

 

[-Stygian-]

Great i like the changes you made BUT now you should change the name to polearm and its all good

 

[Dentothor]

its a lot better. just fix the pole/handle (by adding more shading) and give it a backround

 

[Narandza]

LoL a feather.

 

[Dmazzz]

LoL a feather.

Lol, i guess im not seeing what you are^^

 

[The Panda]

Backround doesn't really go with the weapon, and shading needs work.

 

[Dentothor]

agreeing with AoP

 

[Dmazzz]

kk, ill work on it later^^

Edit: Updated----
