Pyramidhe@d: I dont really know what this is supposed to be. And if this is a second version, use the update button instead of uploading a new icon. Dont define your icons using black lines. This icon is also completely flat looking. In terms of dimensions as well as details.

I dont know but i think it will get rejected cause it has almost no shading and this is just creating of few lines and using rainbow tool for it :/
How long did you do this?

 

[-Grendel]

it WILL get rejected

Use the update button, the two versions pretty much look similar. And in the previous icon comments I asked you a question, "DO you have Photoshop or GIMP?", which was asked so I can help you with shading and highlights.

I made this, so you have a clue what a gem should look like (A little)

How long did that take ?
It looks realy good :3!

You could brighten the front of the gem a tiny bit Naro, so you can clearly show BRAwyvern what we all mean.

[darkdeathknight]

All my icons i use GIMP to edit and draw. please help me with shading and highlights

Okay. There is a tool called dodge. Dodge highlights your selected area. By pressing ctrl, it becomes the burn tool. Burn Darkens stuff. An Example where you need to highlight is the front face of the gem, and the top two faces. Darken would be the bottom two faces of the gem. The middle faces sould be not darker than the bottom and not lighter than the top.

poorly made, decent for a beginner

I didnt find this tool but i found anothers light and shading tools look what i did with them.

 

[Raging Ent]

That's better but not alot since it doesn't follow the flow of the gem..

And you probably just painted it blue and made it shift to black and white.

Here is a way you could create and shade a gem:

There. If you can't find it now, may god help your soul or something corny.
