Paladon: Okay, changes made, it could still need improved shadings, definition and some contrast (concerning the blade) but it´s much better than before.

 

[Dynasti]

It looks a bit (flat),

It just lies there on the ground, veiwed from a bird perspective.

Make it more 3d or sum.

Please comment, rate and give credit if used. I'm still fairly new at this, so criticism is welcome.

EDIT: Saw your comment. I see what you mean. I'll try to add more shading around the edge if I have time.

Make it another veiw angle, like from the upper side.

 

[Kwah]

Yeah, I suppose.

 

[TheBlooddancer]

Its to short, IMO, and the pointer is.. a bit off.

 

[Kwah]

I realize the point isn't symetrical, and it was originally a mistake.

I'll cover it up by making the claim that it was intended to add a cutting edge.

 

[TheBlooddancer]

Yay for cutting edges, then

 

[KelThuzad]

I know what the problem is. Without shadings and reflections - all the drawings are not life like. Plus, alot of color in 1 place is not good for WC3 icons.

A quick drawing to show you what I mean:


EDIT: You can use my icon to replace what you got if you want.

 

[Kwah]

Yeah, it does need more shading. I won't use that icon, but I'll re do this tonight, and post update it tomorrow along similar lines.

 

[Paladon]

Add some glow maybe, there are already a bunch of "simple" sword icons.

 

[KelThuzad]

Rep given: "Thanks for taking the time to help me out! I really appreciate it." - Np. Even though im not moderator ill try to do my best to help improving icons.

Personally, i think that swords without a crazy CrazyRussion background is best. They can be used for all things, and is clean-beauty.

Having just a dagger with a black background can feel empty, and hey, your the icon mod, not me

 

[KelThuzad]

TheBlooddancer - CrazyRussion. You mean CrazyRussian?

 

[TheBlooddancer]

No, i mean Russain. Cause he is not so crasy anymore

Glow =/= CR backgrounds.
But use search "swords" or "knife".
New icons should offer new possibilities.

However, shadings are the most important part to improve/add.

 

[Kwah]

I changed the shading some more, but this icon is going to stay plain. The one I'm working on right now is much more fancy that way.

So, Updated.

 

[Kwah]

Well, super updated now. I've decided to make it look "stormy", kind of thing. Lightning ect.

Ratings/more criticism welcome.

 

[Lestat]

It could be more pointy and the edge could be more divided into 2.
4/5
I like your backgrounds, they always look good.
