enjoy: This is just smudge. There is no bottle as far as I can see, and no glass, that the potion can be in. Looks like something that have taken 10 mins to make, and I don't see how this should be repaired.

i rather wanted to make ot more based on fire but we u can still use it as some type of fire throwing skill

i rly like the background.. to make it more like a potion... make the Circle part of the potion more like a Perfect round, make a glasses to to make the potion bottle. u also need to do more shading... and plz make it more like a potion cuz i wouldnt use it for a fire ball or anything like this...

Hmm... u did something wrong... ur ATC is supposed to be ur PAS and ur PAS is supposed to be ur ATC

[mnib]

Read some tuts... Because this needs some serious work. First of all it needs at least SOME definition and detail. If you don't have either one of those, your icons will go nowhere. using smudge and 3 different colours is NOT exciting.

But really, some tuts will improve your skills in icon development.
try reading some of these...

and there are still so much more. Keep trying and really work on an icon before posting it here.

idk if i use the good way to shade but play with the Opacity and use the white and black.

The potion isnt fully round?

 

[Pyramidhe@d]

i can understand what you are trying to do
i think this could all be solved if you put a fairly strong white line around the bottle and a little reflective light at the top after youre done to show that it is glass

if you do this, i think it will really show that is a potion bottle.

personally i really like it for its natural look. as mentioned, the background is nice as well

 

[mnib]

u mean the 1 on hive or the 2nd i posted as example of upgraded

 

[Pyramidhe@d]

first one. i dont much like the second one. if you dont mind, i could show you an example of what i meant

 

[mnib]
