Zeth Holyblade (reworked)

This looks like Shar Dundred after he has taken a nasty bath in a blood pool.

I admire the effort you've put into line arts, but too much details won't work on 64x64's icons, sadly.
There is a lot of lines mashed up together and the overall red tone may confuse people, as the portraying unit doesn't stand out from the same red-ish background. I think they needs to be cleaned up.

The other icon of yours has clearer and cleaner lines and texture, we can easily recognize his portrait, it's the same helmet if I am looking right.

What are you--- Oh yeah, right, now I see it. Yeah, there are some similarities.

Anyway, yeah, it is looking good on the big picture, but as @San said, in 64x64 it is kinda difficult to see anything.

Notes taken, I think I can zoom in his face and add more lighting and darkness to the character and background respectively, making the character more visible. Something like...

The red background blends too much with the helmet red/yellow hue, and yes its very messy and needs cleaned up with the highlights and shading.

This needs alot of work here, try to make it not so scratchy and blurry looking. The dark reds all blend together and its hard to make out what this exactly is.

Too many line and details, the major issue remains. Icon goes into substandard as it has stayed in AU long enough.
