You are right, making layerd icons in online browser is very helpfull. 
Compose icons from parts

Create icons by combining elements"Make your own icons. In seconds." |

Click on an icon pack to assemble your own icon by picking individual parts online.
If more flexibility is needed, download RealWorld Icon Editor and then the image packs on its Online page. The editor will allow you to freely combine the parts, apply image effects, or draw your own parts.
How does it work?
The final icon is obtained by layering several fragments one over the other. After clicking on one of the image packs above, you will be presented with different fragments you can use to assemble your own icon.
Fragments are added to the final mix by simply clicking on them. Some groups of images only allow you to pick one of the group, while others allow mulitple picks.
License
You are allowed to use the pictures and icons created with this icon assembler for commercial or non-commercial purposes in your own projects.
You may NOT re-distribute the individual parts of the image packs or claim ownership of the assembled pictures unless the author of the images states otherwise.
Adding your image packs
An automated way for adding pack may eventually be created. At this moment, submissions are accepted via email. Send a zip file with 256x256 png images to info@rw-designer with image pack name and description.

This is GREAT!!!!!
If I were to submit a set for this, is there any particular way you would like the parts organized in the .zip file for your ease of applying them to the tool?
I am thinking of creating a custom Emoticon set for this. It would most likely contain the following components-
-Face (for background color)
-Right eye
-Left eye
-Right eyebrow
-left eyebrow
-nose
-mouth
-props
The zip file that I would send you would contain separate folders for each category of components. Would you prefer it to have all the components in the same folder or would this method work?
Currently, the preferred way is to put all files in one folder, but also to put layer numbers at the start of each file name to make the alphabetical sort work for them. Background should look like 1-name-of-my-picture.png, images for second layer should be 2-name-of-the-other-picture.png. This is no needed for the online tool to work, but some packs are shared with the icon editor and there the categories are lost.
