It does not seem to be particularly balanced, and it seems really easy to get all those hooks stuck in the other guy's flesh.

The basic shape of that weapon is pretty rough and all the detailing looks mostly random, so the design is not very sophisticated. Also, JPEG? Seriously?

It is obviously Surtur's greatsword that he used to shatter Bifrost, I guess he did not get around to cleansing it yet.

Well, may I add the sun is not the only light in the universe but I understand what you mean and did not think of it at the time, but I have a back up plan. It is to small to be a real sun so its a toy version..

These are pretty unspectacular. The colouring is simple and repetetive instead of conveying depth or perspective or texture or anything.

bmp files? Seriously? What are you going to post next, a youtube link to you waving a printout of your graphic around the camera?

There is still no perceivable perspective, and the, uh, pillow shading makes the whole thing look a bit wobbly. The colours work a lot better, but I am having issues with the harsh black, un-anti-aliased outline.

I like the chest even if the middle looks really simple to realize + the Viking hat.

Anyway, what does S.F. means on the door?

You're not supposed to make graphics so quick, they always take time, and even a pro needs to spend time on his art before it gets good, so you simply rushed it to show it. Eh? No point.
