I liked your icon much better than mine (it's the BuffyBot) and was really, really glad that only one maker had to go this time! I thought the not-quite-sharpness of yours together with the not really identifiable shadow in the background gave the icon a dreamy quality, which I really liked!

I think it's a sign of the overall quality of all the icons that people latch onto what can be seen as a fault, which in this case was the lack of sharpness, deliberate or not. It's exactly what I feel right now, trying to decide which one of the new icons to vote out while thinking they are all very, very good. It's nitpicking, and since everybody nitpicks according to their own personal preferences it doesn't really say much about how good an icon really is. Difficult.
