This is Ikkaku Bankai I've been working on for a few days and I thought I would post to see what some icon Gurus think I should change on it. Please give me all the advice you can I take constructive criticism very well...

For some suggestions, use slight light reflections on the blades. And that chain that is holding the back blade(I'm guessing its some kind of magic holding it up and moving it) should buckle and straighten out when moving. Also the shading on the blades need to be a little more contrasted, actually most of your art here needs more contrast. The red feathers there should move more towards the center when the blade in the back is moving up. When they are stationary it ruins the flow of them.

Ok this is some of the edits you said, how does it look? And when you say more contrast you mean make it lighter or darker?

You got most everything down great, except for the contrast on the swords(Namely the whitish gray parts). Contrast is where your colors are too similar, and you need to make them more spread out and noticeable.

O I know what you mean, I had it like that before but the main iconer wants less contrast to make more straight edge shading. I had the blade with more color shading but changed before I actually made entire bankai so I dont have it saved to show you.

edit: oops read your post all wrong I got what your saying sorry I'll change now...

Yeah, it's looking a lot better. Now maybe add some contrast on the red feathers cause it looks like they have barely any shading and you'd be set!
