The size and length of the daggers is really unrealistic and they're lacking shading.

 

[The_Silent]

Gimp!?! it looks like paint.

 

[Bon Jovi]

Nope, Its GIMP, I'm just horrable at art.
It looks alot better IN-GAME, but still not gold, I did it to pass time away.

 

[Paladon]

you can improve it by using more colours

 

[Bon Jovi]

Ah ok thanks, I'll do that when I get the time, It might be a while before I can edit, I'll try to do that in about 2 or 3 hours, thanks.

 

[Joe-black-5]

the one in the middle is tall looks like a sword, try making them 5 daggers not 3

 

[Hawkwing]

You need to apply some shadows and highlights. And make the daggers cover more space on the icon.

 

[Silent_One]

I'd highlight the blades and like.. Mix a bit of colours on the handles. Also shorten the one in the middle, both blade and handle. Try adding a background too. And as I said, shine on the blades. (lul, repeat wtf? .-.)

 

[Paladon]

OH and i think the borders are wrong. USE THIS its the ultimate icon borderizer^^

 

[Traxamillion]

As Paladon said..the borders are wrong.

This needs alot of work before it can even be considered. Make the daggers bigger so that detailing them will be easier and show up in the icon more. Also remeber to use a variety of colors. 2 colors is not enough for somthing to look quality.

 

[Paladon]

If you need more tips pm me.
i dont want to spam here now^^
Btw: A less variety of colours is my weakness too. Im working on it.

 

[Bon Jovi]

Alright thanks so much, I'll remake the whole Icon and update this one, Thanks, So Icon Borders, Smaller daggers, Color mixture, And a background.

Edit: I Cant seem to upload it... "Oh my god the names do not match (Throwingdagger_BTN.BLP vs Throwingdagger_DISBTN.BLP)

 

[Hawkwing]

Length-wise they should be smaller, right now they look like swords. But overall they need to be bigger.

 

[Traxamillion]

My point exactly Hawky-poo.

Bigger = better...

the bigger they are the more detail they can possess.

 

[Just_Spectating]

it just looks like 3 lines on a black background.

make a fancy background border that will make the daggers stand out more

like blue glows on the outside, with the "Speed" lines behind the daggers.

 

[FrIkY]

1/5 - horrible quality, it looks like it's made in paint... you need more practice

 

[Nisim]

Look like just three sticks for me

Try to add to it blades or somthing so it will look like daggers and add few wind effects from the side if its flyin/thrown.
