It looks a bit chunky and blurry in some spots like the horns (they need work)

Its a pretty good free-hand icon :D

about a 5 maybe 6/10

Its not exactly free hand. I took a screenshot of a satyrs face to get the perspective and everything right, then I selected all the different parts and redid them.

ok, i may not have ever done an icon, but heres a little advice:

dont just use the portrait for the icon, you didn't use this way, most iconers start out by doing that.

if you need to get a good perspective, take a picture of the model, and then use it for a reference

start the picture out big, then shrink it down, this can allow alot more quality

it looks like you did all these, excellent for a first icon, 9\10 because you could have put a bit more detail into it
