Sin'dorei300: Too simple and too much black space.
Make it bigger and add some details & effects.

So uhm yeah. I'm not sure. It... it seems a tad simple.

I tend to agree. Also it's not like an orb, it looks more like a rune stone to me.

I gotta agree that it doesn't look like an orb. I feel like it's an egg being cooked because of that white colour around it.

 

[Heinvers]

I forgot about suggestions:

1. Orbs tend to be spherical (am I wrong?) !
2. I'd either remove or redo that white glow. It makes it look like a cooked egg as Shadow Furry pointed out.
3. Make a proper outline that's not black or remake a lighter background.
4. It also needs volume/depth, it's a bit flat-ish right now.
5. You could also make it BLOODIER! It doesn't look like a blood orb to me

There is not a whole lot of freehand involved here it seems
While I actually like the shape of the outline, it's not enough of a justification to upload. The orb of fire needs some polishing, since it doesn't really look optimal after the warp, the outline could use some colors and the section between the "orb" and the outline needs to be filled with something a bit more fitting than just black.
It's not a bad start, though [:

So, the drawing was done by hand (100% by hand, even I used my tablet for that). Moreover, the Heinvers is not wrong if an orbit is a spherical figure, and I am soon going to update the icon because I made some drastic changes (the name too).
I appreciate the comments are critical and constructive. However, I do not know how to change the name of the icon once already posted, I believe that it is not necessary to delete it, and yes, I'm looking for an answer in the forums.

It certainly is better. But I think it still needs more texture. It feels kinda "flat" at the moment.

Humnm ... is true.

Too simple!
Try to use a richer color range ..
