No, not her irises, but her pupils. They are too big compared to her iris and the size of the actual eye. Also she used to have her eyes more squared on the lower end, but that is a design choice I can live with.
About the head lenght: I imagined her cheeks a bit more puffy, wide and round based on previous works you have done, maybe that's why she feels different now, flat compared to previous renditions. Or maybe because of the perspective. I don't really have a problem with her smile now that I stared at her for a few minutes, it just feels like 12 pixels too long on the right side than how I'd draw her if I could.
Hands and feet: my biggest issue is her right hand. It's the furthest one from the observer, but it's the biggest. Otherwise her proportions look exactly like my niece when she was 12, a thin frame with relatively "big" hands and feet. I don't agree with people who said that you make too small hands and feet, their size fits with the character's stature. She's an adult, she may have had size 36 feet when she was 14, but then her body got some nice curves without her feet and hands growing. "Donner's done her" and "Where am I?" are both good examples on spot- on proportions for Zu, at least in my opinion.
About profile images: I don't know what kind of process you use for coloring, but it definitely makes them look artificial, especially Za and Ellie. That's why I differentiated your daily, uncolored drawings from their actual profile pictures. I thought that you did those completely on a computer. "Demonic Sofi colored" feels much easier on my eyes, it's the best example I can refer to. Another thing that I just realised while going through your library of pictures is that you don't use black lines on the character's bends and outlines in their profile pics. Those give a nice contrast to show off their bodies and emphasize smaller details, while keeping a hand drawn feel to them (which is a very important factor for me).
That's about it.

Irises, pupils, part of the same thing.
Ye, the bump on the cheek has slowly been shrinking with time. I don't like the look of it, so it has become near nonexistent.
Zu is still supposed to be rather short and thin, only a measy 1.60. But ye, I didn't really like how the hand turned out anyway. Don't see too much problem with the size of the feet, though. Maybe the one up in the air, but the grounded one seems OK to me.
That's something that I can't avoid. Drawing on paper will always make them seem more natural. When I digitalize them I don't want to keep the hand drawn look, I completely redraw the scanned image in flash. Using black outlines makes it more difficult to make out different objects and what ends where, which I want to avoid. Using colored outlines helps differenciating things.
