enjoy: Looks great, and it's fine with no glow or background! Simple, but nice.

This looks pretty good, but I think it could have been better if you angled it with the top being closer to the "camera".

3/5.

What about now?

Sorry, it's still a 3/5. The point of changing the perspective wasn't to make the other end smaller, but rather to allow you to fill more of the space and have less empty black.

I'm not interfering with your rating, but when you rate this icon 3/5 it means that under your standards this icon can be 2/5 better or 40%. be my guest and tell me what you find missing/wrong in this icon for you to rate it as 60%.

Looks great!

Looks really nice, but you're still not to fond of adding glow if I would suggest it?

3/5 means average. It is indeed about average. I'm not saying it's bad. I'm just saying that it's about average. People need to quit being upset all the time just because I don't give a 5/5 rating. Sorry, but 5/5 means "great". Not just "oh, well, there's nothing majorly wrong with it, so 5/5".

I don't hate this icon or anything like that. I gave it a 3/5, that means it is of acceptable quality, pretty much average. It's your icon, and if it looks the way you want it to look, you don't have to change it, but this is the rating I'm giving, and it will stay that way unless it is improved in the future. I'm not demanding you to change it, but a 3/5 is the rating that I am giving it for now, and it's up to you what you do to your own resource.

It's only one rating. I'm sure you'll get plenty of 5/5's from other people who hand them out more easily, and before you know it you won't even care that it ever got a 3/5 mixed in.

Thanks.

I'll be doing reading some tutorials of how to make a decent glow this weekend and then update this.

You still never mentioned why this icon isn't great (for you), you see I made this icon but I need everyone to be gratified with how it looks

I already did explain, it's the angle. To look any better it would have to be redrawn angled slightly towards the point of view, not simply have half of the shield scaled.

Its blurry, like your other icons, your picture converter/resizer or whatever sucks.
It could be the way Hive renders it but idk.

About the rating, I agree its average, but the shape is unique and the wood texture is nice.
