Head icon (WIP)

Here are some head-icons I'm working in.
They'll be used in a mobile game coming soon
C/C will be appreciated

Cool!

I'm certainly not good enough to give any really meaningful advice, but critiquing the work of others can only be good for me too i suppose, so here goes:

They're all really nicely coloured except for the second row leftmost one. He looks cool by himself, but doesn't seem to fit with the rest of them. He seems too dark to me. All the others are sort of bright and colourful, and he's dark and grey. They might be what you were going for, and if it is then this is irrelevant, but you might want to make his beard a bit lighter and reduce the shadowing around his mouth to bring him up to the brightness of the rest.

I also don't really like the robot-looking thing bottom row third from left. Again, it might mean more to someone who's seen the full robot rather than just this section of the head, but i can only really tell its a robot because i can't see it being anything else.

Other than these two things, i think they're all great! I especially like the bottom rightmost one, he looks awesome! Love the mouth on him :)

I'm assuming some to be highly referenced.  Please post your references if there are any.

to Dan:
I drew the concepts first and then adjusted them to the appropriate size in PS
add a new layer then start pixel
here is some of the sketch


well
after I finished the pixel ones I was shocked
but honestly, I sketch then pixel them all by my own.
it didn't look so good at first then I detailed it, then came the one I want.
