The gun handle looks a bit too thin and the angle is too closed.
Except bu the gun detail, all the icons are awesome.

 

[WalkingAbomination]

Thanks, and i see what you mean i will fix that up in moment ^^

 

[green raven]

I love the herb and the scroll but the bag looks more like an onion and the testtube looks a little edgy..crooked outlining and the palette doesn't seem to work.. could be my computer though

 

[WalkingAbomination]

Alrighty i'll edit the bag, i think it's mainly the top that gives it that look, and i'll just go for a brighter color next time too.

I will mess around with the test tubes, see if i can improve the look.

 

[Mascarpone]

Only thing that buggers me is how long the hilt of the sword is. colors are good. shapes arent too bad. rendering looks decent.

Ur avatar makes me uncomfortab

 

[WalkingAbomination]

Bag remade but still need to edit it a tad, gun handle improved but i will still work on that some more.

@Mascarpone
Ah well that's one of the things i like, to me the shorter hilt looks bad, and thanks ^^

e-gun is good and bag is good.
e2-Changed lace a bit on herb as well ass the blue color, brightened sword hilt a bit.
e3-test tubes remade and uploaded.

 

[green raven]

imho the bag and tubes look waaaaaaaay better, I don't really like the green fluid in the testtube, but that's just my personal opinion not really critisism

 

[WalkingAbomination]

Good , actually i'm going to darken that green color in the test tube, too bright i think.

Apple added.

 

[Grathea]

Hey, WA, could you use the tags in future to show off pixel-work? It makes it much easier to critique your work.
I went through and changed it this time, but just as a note...

Now, onto the critique.
The apple seems shaded in a way that's WAY too dithery compared to your other icons, so I'd watch that.
I really like the gun and bushel of grassy stuff thing.
Not a huge fan of the shape of the armor, but it's technically very well done.
I like the bag.
Teddy bear is adorable.

Keep it up, generally.

 

[WalkingAbomination]

You got it man, i forgot that you guys added this option.
Good job to whomever though of it ^^

Thanks, and I have decreased some of the dither from the bottom area too ^^

e- I have a question for whomever knows, just now i used the zoom feature and saw the pixels clearly but when i do that now they become blurry instead, anyone know why this happens?

 

[monkeydlu]

Looks amazing XD

lol, I can't say much for critique, but everything looks awesome to me, the bag's shape looks a bit undefined, but it still looks pretty amazing, love them.

 

[WalkingAbomination]

Thanks ^^,  i've been looking at your icons too and you're getting much better, hope you keep it up man.

Darkened green liquid a bit and added an extra tube with a red color.

 

[monkeydlu]

some people tell me I have a childish style :P

In comparison yours looks so pro... >_> Maybe I should stop using pure black outlines... lol

 

[Xaixis]

Hmm... the only thing I think needs some improvement would maybe lower the sides on the chest-armor a wee bit. But other than that good work. I hope to see more ^.^

 

[WalkingAbomination]

@monkeydlu 
The dark outline could be used as a type of style but yeah black is no good, maybe a dark brown?

@Xaixis 
Please tell me what is it you see and i will look into it ^^

 

[monkeydlu]

I think he's saying the skirts for the breatplate should look like their hanging down more, as it feels like it's floating, theres space below it, so making it fall more natrually shouldn't be a problem, and yeah, I really like Fire Emblem and if you've ever seen heir sprites they're pretty much always black outlined, and I decided to adopt the style, but it only goes so far >_>

 

[Shingu]

There pretty good, however not everyone game uses a gun :| But thats alright

 

[Grathea]

e- I have a question for whomever knows, just now i used the zoom feature and saw the pixels clearly but when i do that now they become blurry instead, anyone know why this happens?

It's a known issue with FF3. If it really bugs you, try Opera or Chrome or some other browser. Or just go back to FF2. Alternatively, I think there are some plugins. I haven't used it, but this seems like it would do the job.

 

[WalkingAbomination]

I checked it out just now and it's no good it seems :/, i mainly use firefox but it's no biggie i'll just switch when using this feature, thanks anyway.

Edit-I'll check that armor out right now ^^
E2-Armor edited and uploaded.
e3-Helmet added, i will darken it some later on and add a bit more color to armor like helmet.
e4-Helmet darkened a tad, added rust coloring to armor as well darkened outline for it a bit.. and took two pixels off of shoulder straps.

E5-Crossbow Added, this was tough to make for me so you know..if there's something wrong or that i can improve let me have it ^^
