They look nice! The level of detail is absolutely perfect! The colors are way too saturated and dark, though, everything should be lighter and borders should almost never be solid black.
@Ollin I agree about the borders. The reason I made them so dark is b/c they usually appear on a very dark grey background so I tend to make them a lot darker so the borders will still show.
@Steve Testone Make all borders at the edges a darker, more saturated version of the fill color, at about 80% opacity. That way, they blend into a black background while offering ample contrast on other backgrounds! I can show examples if you want, but it's what I and other artists do at the small sizes to get gorgeous edges :)

@Ollin Ok I get what you are saying. Thanks for the tip! I can see how that would make them more flexible.
