1 least quality: #1 - This icon looks a little flat to me, there are a lot of midtones and not enough highlight and shadow. It's also a bit on the dark side. If the maker was going for a deliberately flat look then, the only concrit I can pass on is that usually the icons I've seen successfully pull it off are brighter.

1 least quality: 1 - The painted-like style is a nice idea, but I'm not sure it worked 100% here. First of all, the lines around the collar are too sharp. There are actually several oversharpened spots in this icon (like the ear and hat). There seems to be something unnaturally bright about the eye, maybe toning down the whites would be better. Finally I'd say that the vibrant background doesn't work too well with the rather flat look of his face. The lighting doesn't seem to match completely. Overall, I think the style would simply work better if the crop was more 'zoomed' out instead of a close crop.

1 - The colors are lovely, but the eye is too white and it pops too much, making the icon look a bit creepy.
