It's a striking bit of artwork, and the smallest version stands up decently -- it's recognizable by itself, not just to those familiar with the larger version. I like the reds, myself.

(I don't know the game it's to represent, so I have no clue whether it will appeal to the right actual audience, though.)

I like it. It's distinctive and recognizable at small scale, which is what you want from an icon.

I can't tell if it's a render or a painting. If it's supposed to be painted, I'd suggest a little more highlight in the hair. More shadowing could give the whole image better depth, especially in the eyes and the scoop of hair to her upper left (our upper right). But none of that matters for an icon. Looks good!

The illustration is great. I think for it to stand up in the store you should go with something more graphic or develop some kind of branding. I remember the space station exterior being well suited to being broken down into a basic graphic. Once you have a solid branding and graphic it can be applied to other marketing swag. Things like shading and small stars really don't read when it is smaller. Try to come up with something that is two color if you add a third color it should draw you into something really important about the game. I think the character is to melancholy for people to click on your Icon, think there needs to be a level of excitement or slickness to it. My two cents. How far are you from launch?
