For the Spider-Gwen icon, I decided to go with a faraway crop and decided to keep the slightly retro feel. Since my texture had a speech bubble, I decided to add the "Hello, my name is..." since Gwen didn't get one in Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse.
I decided to go with some of your earlier ones. I liked them, but I'd be interested to see a different spin on these ones. (Love her headpiece in the first one, btw!) :)
The first one was difficult, because she's behind a screen in that scene (which I was hiding with the black and red color blobs). So I had to take other screenshots of her without the screen in front of her. Those aren't as close, though, and the headdress doesn't come out as detailed. But I like how shiny it ended up looking. (But really, seen as a whole, it just looks like an ugly golden chicken. :D)
The second one has Zhu Yilong's ugliest haircut from the whole year, so my main goal for the remakes was to cut off his hair. :D I'd forgotten how interesting his facial expression is in that shot, though, and I like how the second one came out.
The last one I was very proud of, and I can't hope to make anything as good as that again, but I liked working with that photoshoot of his, so I just played around a little for the remakes:

Ack, I think this is gonna help me start with the whole 'choosing faves' because that's what I kept choosing (maybe whenever I get a few more minutes) <3 I picked a couple from the first half of the year and they'll hopefully inspire you :) Feel free to not do anything with them, heh. I know how hard it is to give a new spin to something you were already proud of!
Eeek, so excited! Last year I had to remake what ended up being my best icon of the year, so that was fun :) Intrigued to see what others come up with and whether my muse decides to return. And I'll definitely try to comment on all the other comments in the next couple of days! I'm having kind of a busy weekend, hehe.

Aw, thank you! That is definitely a good guess and a good reason to choose them :) So another thank you for taking the time to choose them. (Adding some ~~thinking behind them. It's lame, :P)
Oi, so again I inadvertently gave you one of your absolute faves. /o\
I would have expected a closer crop, too. :) I like the farther crop, though, it looks well rounded, and more like they're in their own little world.
The CJ one is ... wow! I love what a difference the contrast and color increase makes here. The crop is great, too - forming a triangle between the two black corners and her eye. What an amazing result! <3

I started icon-making late this year (after being away for 9 years!), so I don't have many posts. My icons posts can be found here at 1wonderment.

I will feel most inspired if you don't choose my very best icons, but some where you see potential for improvement.
All the icons I've made this year can be found in my journal, in the art-icons tag: https://tinnny.livejournal.com/tag/art-icons
There are over 30 icon posts, this is the oldest (but note that it also contains a batch of icons from 2018 at the top): https://tinnny.livejournal.com/377513.html
Thanks for playing!

I started posting at a community this year but this should be the tag for this year's icons @ holyinterruptus

I took icons of your favorite characters, because I hope you'll like iconing them again no matter what. :D
