AHHHHHHHHHHHHH! THIS IS SO WONDERFUL! I LOVE ALL OF THE THINGS! ♥

Bard: I just love all of these! You know I am a massive fan of your quirky text use, and even though I have no idea what's going on (not in the fandom), I am just giggling over how awesome and fun the text use is! #4 is especially awesome! And I just love, generally, how you've duplicated the text for multiple color layers. That's so cool, and you really make it work!

Wizard: MORE THINGS THAT ARE FUN. I think that's my catch word for this post; everything is composed in such a fun way! #6 is cool; I love all the boxes and the diversity in your coloring here! All the primary colors are accounted for! #8 is really intriguing. I love the wide crop here, and the coloring is really deep as well. The texture really makes it though. It adds this extra dimension that I really quite like! AND THEN 10 WHICH IS MY FAVORITE THING! LOOK AT ALL THOSE COLORS! LOOK AT THE EXPERT BLOCKING! It's a really unique and creative icon, Jess. :D

Main Quest: I think you did a great job at picking out bits and pieces of your chosen mentors' styles and making them your own, truly! These are all great. I think you hit hauntes' style on the head like an anvil, and I really like your take on spg-spn-girls' style as well especially 24 because would you look at that dazzling coloring! My favorites are definitely the oviedo ones though. You cropping really shines in that set, honestly. It's mind blowing how amazing they are! 18, 19, and 20 just...wow. There are no words to describe my feelings about these icons. The cropping, coloring, and lighting in all three are just superb.

Battle: I AM SUCH A FAN OF THE STUFF YOU MADE FOR THIS BATTLE, JESS. SUCH A FAN. As you might have been able to tell by the presence of my new default the past couple of days, I was blown away by #26. Your texture use, again, really makes the icon shine! I know the original image was a little painty by itself, but you've really taken it to the next level in the best way possible! I also snagged #27 because the coloring and lighting are perfection in all ways. I also loved: 31 (just perfect coloring, I think), 32 (cropping win!), 34 (coloring again), 36 (love the lighting work here; so lovely and muted), 37 (oh my god at that coloring), and 39 (love the coloring and the grainy texture here). Really great stuff.

As I said, I love all the things! Another flawless post, bb! ♥
