zombie2279: Quite good. The gem needs better reflection effects and the golden part of the handle could use more highlights. I'd be happy with some decoration to handle overall.

zombie2279: Not exactly what I imagined, but I guess it can be useful.

Looks nice, but the gem could use a bit more realistic feel too it. Add a shine or maybe make the gem see-through too symbolize that its a gem. Also, you could add some effects or sparkles towards the backround.

Hey, thanks for the feedback. I was scratchin' my head over whether I put enough shine on the gem. Guess not, so I'll work on that.

Also, about the special effect thing, Usually blizzard icons don't have backgrounds or other special effects. Isn't that more for ability icons? I'll have to see what other people say.

 

[The Panda]

Well blizzard does that yes, but what i meant was add like a glow behind the staff or add some in the black area too fill the icon up instead of the plain staff. Also just adjust the shine a bit and if your trying to make the gem see-through then that would help alot, but if you are not then keep it as it is.

Add a glow.

 

[Coinblin]

Y'know, I've decided against adding a glow because when I was making this one I specifically had in mind what I wanted it to look like, cause this icon is custom made for a map I just started. And since I'm working on so many other icons right now, I don't have the time to come back and put the effort into making a good glow for this one. Maybe after I'm finished putting a couple more icons out I'll come back to this one and make an alternate version with a sweet glow.

 

[Dentothor]

add a BG to it. it looks far too plain as it is right now.

also, add a shine to the gem to make it look more like a gem and not wood.

 

[TheHunterKiller]

Ooh, that's nice.

 

[Deolrin]

Defiantly your best one so far. Well done!

I suggest making the golden gem-holder thing a tad bigger, so it reaches say to the half of the gem. Right now it seems like the gem is about to fall off at any second.

 

[breebree123]

well done! but needs more highlights
4/5

 

[The Panda]

Green glow is ok, i was going for white but this looks fine. Just add some shading and should be good.

 

[Dentothor]

the green glow background is not very nice to look at now. it is too much the same colour as the gem

 

[expazatrix]

Nice Icon, but it could do with some sparkles. It looks a little bit plain at the moment.
