zombie2279: Weird. The outlines are awkwardly overtoned, the shading is linear and therefore weird, it somehow lacks a realistic 3D perspecite and looks rather flat.

more shadings, sword is not much in shape, well but still nice
4/5

 

[krisserz]

Hmm, for me it looks more like "sword of laugh" ^^
Needs a lot of shading, the color is eye-cutting, and more little improvements. The background looks the best so far.

 

[Just_Spectating]

looks like a pickle


awesome




i think its perfect.

 

[Amigurumi]

the sword needs a better shape, and shading.
but at the moment I don't see a sword in it.
it looks more like the pickle of awesomeness

 

[-Berz-]

Needs a bit more shading and fix the shape a bit

 

[PsychoNerdial]

Shape is a bit off, needs more highlights, defining and shadows

 

[Anachron]

Cool, a sword of laugh xD

 

[TheHunterKiller]

Sword of Laugh . The background is awesome. The sword is kinda odd, needs shadin'.

 

[krisserz]

Now it`s sword of laugh +1 xP

 

[Anachron]

The icon has been updated, press CONTROL + F5 to see the new version.

Now it`s sword of laugh +1 xP

Whats so bad about it?

 

[Just_Spectating]

now it really is a pickle

 

[krisserz]

Shape. Look at this for example.

now it really is a pickle

true ;P

 

[Anachron]

Ok ok, I will give it an unique shape. But not now.

 

[Just_Spectating]

just rename it.

 

[Anachron]

You think its good enough to become approved?

And btw, who cares about the name anyway? I rename every icon on my map at import,
like BTNHEROES_NEUTRAL_Heroname.blp.

 

[krisserz]

I don`t think it will get approved...Still needs some improvements.

 

[Anachron]

Tell me how I can improve this.

 

[Just_Spectating]

i mean rename it so people don't think its a sword.

because its a perfect Pickle

or scepter

 

[Anachron]

Another updates!

Here the progress:

Start Version:


1st Edit:


2nd Edit:

 

[TheHunterKiller]

Looks better.

 

[Anachron]

Thanks, any critique?

 

[-Berz-]

Wow, nice, there is one more thing, try to make the blade look glassy at the edges, like a crystal sword

 

[Anachron]

Oh hell, I never was good at crystal. But shouldn't be a problem, learned a good technique. Please subscribe the other icon aswell, love critique.

 

[Amigurumi]

looks much better now.
would look really great, if you can add a crystal effect to the sword.

 

[Anachron]

Yeah, I know, I will, but definitly not now. (Having other icons to do! )

 

[Licheus]

Hey man, can't you add some kind of glassy crystal effect to that blade? That would certainly be awesome!

Just joking. ^^
It's a fine icon. I look forward to seeing the final result.

 

[dansaDisco]

that black stroke has to go. It looks awkward. The whole icon kinda looks weird, to forced in my opinion, doesn't assemble much to pain either, sorry.

Like, why is there straight green blades coming out of a something shaped like a blade but textured like a pickle?

I would remake it totally because I doubt you'll get very far with this at it's current state


And please understand why I am harsh towards your icons, I don't comment a lot of icons but when I do I try to help instead of posting and I want you to evolve
"5/5 nice"
"3.4646/5 cool icon bro"
"4/5 but fix shadings"

 

[Panda]

Backround looks a bit bright, and the sword seems too be a bit small :/ Show more of the sword.

 

[Just_Spectating]

alright ill post some real critique
rather than: :/ now the pickle is rotting.

a blade doesn't get darker on the edge, it should be lighter, as to look flat, not rounded,

depending on which side you are making the blade, you have to make it totally almost even white.

 

[breebree123]

looks better now

 

[Anachron]

I will increase this icon when I have time.

 

[expazatrix]

Yay a finely slice gherkin!

 

[FriendlyHost]

for a second I thought it was a leaf!
but now that I read the name I thought it looked very unique and good, 4/5
