It seems to be really good but from the images the angles may need to be fixed a little and some of the elements.

Thanks for this (and all your other) tuts. Great work Jonathan!
If you don’t mind me asking, how long does it take someone of your experience to conceptualize and create an icon like this – total time?
Use reference objects or similar artwork. Since you’ll have a cool image you want to compare your art with, then surely your outcome will look cool.
Heck, even try to copy someone’s work (for practice only!) and see how yours comes out!
