Sin'dorei300: What's bugging me is the white outline of the metal part, it stands out 2 much from the rest.

Version 1:


Version 2:

Looks a little weird with the toe part bulging and the upper part having texture like brick wall. Can u turn the boots a little right to give them an angle or maybe flatten the toe part and elongate maybe. I hope u can make the heels part stick out a little bit and give the impression that it narrows from the heels towards the front.

It's a fantasy boot. Oversizing is part of that. The brick wall is two strap rims with laces behind.
I like the bulkyness of the boots in general.
But thank you for the comment.

Now i see it. Can u maybe make it stand out a little bit? have u tried making the heel part steel? i just got the idea.

Hmm I'm not sure I can.
I have thought about merging the two strap rims into one big. But I'll have to think about it.
I would like to keep the boot as leathery as it is now. However I could make an "upgraded" boot with more metal. And perhaps one with none at all.

The artistry is good, but (especially compared to the Boots of Swiftness & Boots of Elven Agility linked in your other boot-icon-thread), it lacks contrast & depth; almost looks 2D. :<

Ok U can make all icons u want. I will look all of them and hopefully give u a little about what i get after looking the icons

I'm not sure what I can do. But I kinda agree.
To be honest I think the version in post 2 is better overall :S
Well maybe not, better. But the shape somehow seems better.

 

[Heinvers]

Too much outline and less depth, that's the problem.

Though I agree with him

I've updated the icon.
I redid the shading and made the rims curve a little bit more. Also the outlining on the back of the boot is made a little clearer.

I have no idea how to improve it from here on, so I probably won't even try.
