    Pick it apart. My eyes can't make out differences after a while of looking at these ate high resolutions.

    Looks good, though i think the smallest one has too much shadow/glow/blur, it looks a bit glowy and blurry to me.

    And the 2nd one from the left seems boxed on the sides, though that might just be me.

    The smallest icon still looks blurry alex. When you re-sized the small one did you also alter the blending modes to match the new sizes?

    Edit: BTW nice work in adding the string inside the preserver. This really brings the whole thing out nicely. Really nice touch. The small things always have the biggest effect. I wish IB adopted this mindset. :) Again, Nice work. As always.

    The 16x16 one is a bit too dark, the white turned redish-gray(second set). The outline seems strange to me, a bit jagged? You can't really see the shine on the top red thingy well and I think the red is a bit flat on the largest one. Dunno, the stroke around the circle just seems strange...

    Updated, fixed what I could. The problem with the 16x16 is that it just blurs too easily. I could get rid of the glow, but then it looks naked.


    Edit: I had to edit this post twice now, because it seems AA is having a fit with me posting.

    I think I know what's causing the blurring. If you can post the smallest icon with the string inside and one without at the smallest size. I think the eyes focus on the string which gives the impression of blurring.

    yeah. That was the one i WAS LOOKING AT (damn caps) Maybe you can contract the inner ring in a little so the tube is a little thicker? See how that looks.

    I'm not understanding, it was close to the outline as well. Do you mean enhance the overall stroke for the entire tube?

    And I just realized I forgot the freehand strokes to make it look more realistic. Going to start over with 64x64 tomorrow and recreate most details on each one by hand.
