I think your icon has a very sophisticated feel to it.
And I'm glad you put some color into the person's face, because I know it's easy to over-contrast an image such as this. However, the problem with editing a butterfly onto someone's face is that although you did an excellent job, it still doesn't look too natural. The image you used was also of fairly bad quality, so it would've been nice if you had fixed it up. -

The one big big big problem I have with scanlines is, not that I hate them. They do look good, but it looks really awkward when your scanlines are dark, and they go over a white area, and you can notice it much more in that area. (Or vice versa if you have white scanlines and they go over a dark area). What I always tell people is when they're doing scanlines, is to erase the scanlines on the face using a soft brush. It takes about two seconds, and I think it looks much better. Also, the effect you did with the text is neat, but I think it would have worked much better if the background and the border were white. -

I like this icon, because it's very pleasing to look at. The text is definatly a plus, but however, I really, really liked the icon you posted before you changed it. (The transparent one) I dont like the text on this avatar as much, because although penguins are playful, and Comic Sans is a playful looking font, the whole color scheme seems very washed out. However, you still did a good job.
I hope you didn't delete the icon you did before though, I would like to see it again. -

Pretty. I like how you colored Audrey Hepburn, the colors are very nice and pleasing to the eye. Simplicity isn't always a bad thing, and sometimes it takes more skill to know when to stop. However, I'm not that fond of the white lines that you have put as a space filler on the left, I would rather you have some faint, simple text. -

The colors and the shapes on the right pull the icon together nicely.
I dont have many big concerns about this icon, except for the fact that the white border seems to be a little messy at times, and un-anti aliased; and that N A N A text, in my opinion, would look better set as overlay or some sort of blend mode. Other than that, good job! -

While I applaud the effort you put into your graphics, I do think you over-did this one a bit. The icon seems a little bit messy and confusing. However, I do like the way you colored the icon, and the text would be good as well if it didn't have a stroke, and was anti-aliased. I think it would have actually looked pretty good if it was just white. -

I really do like how you fixed that image up, it looks much nicer and it's good that you have gotten rid of the noise.
However, once again, text seems to be your downfall.
The font type is okay, but the font seems rader subdued and faded. I think in an icon such as this, dont be afraid to do bold black and white to go with the panda motif. Perhaps the word "lazy" could be in bold, black with a white dropshadow, and vice-versa for the word "days". -

Pretty! The image seems very soft, and the colors work excellently together. The white border is very creative, and it looks quite good. The text is excellent as well! The only thing I might add is that I wish your image was a little bit sharper, as the girl looks a little blurry right now. Other than that, good job! -

Aww, this icon is quite cute! The colors and the greens are nice, and the cutout was done nicely. The text works well with this fun icon.
However, I think that you could have blurred the edges, where the hands are (and a little bit of the frog) so that it looks a bit more realisic, and a bit more like how it was in the photograph. Perhaps the border could be a little thicker as well, other than that though, nice job.
