Ah, so I went and looked up your comm and kicked myself cause I wasn't watching it. But that has been fixed now.

Whatever I say may not be very useful cause I am only just seeing your work and looked back into the last few posts. I saw your latest post and it was so very lovely and bright and soft. But then I went slightly more back and saw your Sherlock Holmes post. That was muy fantastic. I love the monochromatic colours, the text and definitely the texture use.

From whatever I've seen, your style has taken a bit of evolution hasnt it? And the new direction it has taken is really lovely. But that being said, I kind of miss the er, grittiness. I went back a little to the walking dead post and it's dated 20/11/2011. The last icon of the dude holding up his finger, UH-MAZING. And the icon with the skeletal hand and vibrant green, that kind of broke my brain.

The new style is soft and a little muted but NO lie, your er -grittiness texture thing ( I hope I'm making sense) that was awesome. It would be lovely to see that crop up, maybe this time with the soft muted thing. The fourth Kate example icon is a thing of beauty. Not gonna lie, it's so lovely I want to hug it.

As for the centre crop thing, I feel you dude. There is no way around it except to drag your crop tool around and experiment with new crops. And if all else fails, just stick to whatever you like. The way I see it, your crops dont even seem like an issue. They seem pretty good and you have a lot other stuff going for you which never for a minute makes the icon seem boring.

aw, thanks for watching :3

I'm definitely trying to implement textures a little more in my upcoming work! and the former theme over at 20inspirations made me realize that I don't have to up the contrast all that much all the time (: however, I'm not sure how this is going to turn out on the long run. maybe I'll find a style that merges all that or I'll go abck and forth like I'm doing right now. either way, thank you so much for your input! it's very much appreciated ♥
