BE Sword = Awesome.
Sunkey = More Awesome.
Elf = Meh. Nose is too sharp, same with chin. Face seems like it's being pulled into itself.
Butterfly = Awesome.

Sunkey is definitely the best.

the sword handle is too short and the cross guard to wide. you probably wont be able to fit the entire handle into the icon but just extending it would help lots.

the key is definitely the best but there's something wrong with it that makes it look "unwarcraftish". might be the bottom's blurriness.

the elf's hair and ear is pretty good but the face is a bit blurry and jagged. she also looks pissed. references would probably help with the facial structure.

the hands look like cardboard, not enough shading. due to the weird green stuff beneath it the butterfly looks squished. its also somewhat shaped like a starfish because the wings are pointy.

You really lack depth in all of your icons. They all feel flat and could use with some real shading and thorough coloring for a good implementation of the third dimension. You should also work on a more solid concept before drawing. There's a lot of confusion in the icons that makes it difficult to actually decipher what they are supposed to convey.

For instance, in the first icon there are some details on the sword that are really lost in the composition. The key is probably your best, but you have confusion on the shading. (Top of key has lighting from top-right, rest of key has lighting from top-left) It's also crooked, which really shows. The face looks very artificial and lacks any character or personality whatsoever. The hands have shading errors all over the place and the butterfly really is indistinguishable. (That's a butterfly, right?)

They are a good start, though. Keep at it! <3

First of all, thanks for responding guys ^^
I am aware of the mistakes, especially on the hand and sword xD
And I am not so quite good at shading stuff yet, and drawing with a tablet is still new for me :P

But yes, practice makes perfect :)


Thanks guys<3

I always liked the hands you made. They are still awesome.
