The transition between the helmet and the shadow is unnatural, consider smoothing them up abit, it'll look better in icon size.
I'd add some light-blue to the feathers so they won't feel lonely staying behind.
You also forgot to shade the golden line part, I thought it was some kind of mustache on first sight. Dark-orange works fine when shading gold stuff.
My rough example:

I kinda don't understand that blue leaf on the top of the helmet, i would either add more gold parts in that area or just remove it completly because i don't see the use there. Also, when you resize it down the leafs don't really look like leafs anymore, just a blue shape. It would be nice if you added ribets towards the armor, so it looks like its connected together. Like this.

The visor should be edited, icon would benefit in overall. And by that I mean editing the dark line on his helmet. Both edges of the line lean downwards too much, instead you could make them either in horizontal line or invert the curve so the edges are placed higher from the middle part.
