You're gonna need a bigger screen.

Actually, icons that size are used any time you change the view setting to Extra Large icons in Windows Explorer in Vista or Win7.

Actually, this cloak contour makes Garrett look like a little, fretful, malicious and evil fairy. I think it would be better to make it simple image without alpha channel that can not be done right in case of this artwork. ;)

Isn't that basically what he is?
Anyway, nice icon. I'd recommend composing each size by hand though, rather than auto-scaling it.

I wanted the icon to have a bit more personality. For example (
http://xenographics92.deviantart.com/art/HD-Game-Icon-Pack-168489269) this pack has simple rounded rectangle icons with some game art and glass effect on them. To me icon should look unique so that it's easy to recognize. Also this was a nice way to learn how to use vectors in Photoshop :cool:.

Yes, that is the maximum icon size these days and it was also easier to make a scalable 256x256 icon.
