More shading and highlights are needed, both on the handle and the blade. Also add highlights too the blood. I would make a other background, like just some glow, since I would make the fokus on the blade with blood on it. Also alittle blending the edges on the shapes. Looks rough. also, make the blood alittle more dark red.
 
Nice blood effect man.

lol...


ok, whats wrong with this icon? yep, the quality.

you really did not put much effort into it. i mean it misses a whole lot of things starting with the object itself and continuing on to the background, which is nothing more than a few randomly placed white stripes... (i can see where your brush went...)

so honestly. first, you should work on the object. try to make it less flat and look at the actual shape of a dagger, usually they do not consist of paper. then, add some outlines and a lot of shading, also work on your filling technique which is at the moment pretty messy.

after that you should go on with the blood. its form is already ok but it is not really liquid-looking, maybe add some highlights, imagine how a rain drop is effected by light...

last but not least you should change the background. removing it should be enough at first and when you came up with a better matching one with higher quality you should update the icon.

i hope i helped you a bit to direct your fantasy on the right path...

Needs some more shading, overall.
some more highlights on the handle and the background really doesn't make any sence... what do white strings have to do with a bloody dagger?
The blood should be a lot darker too and the blooddrops should have some stronger highlights.
