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)

I actually like the original icon quite a bit (and even made it a userpic) even if there are things I'd tweak. For this one, I initially wanted to go for a closer crop but ended up going for a further crop with simpler colors and overall look. I also used small-ish text ( + super faint text in the background as "texture" for the one on the right). It's definitely not as vibrant as the first one, so there is some difference ;P

I had almost forgotten how difficult this screencap is, so working with it was a fun challenge :D I wasn't too happy with the original but I think I like the new one? I did a natural recoloring of it to give it a different vibe. Kinda. I definitely like it more and I'm surprised by how realistic the recolor turned out because the skin usually looks... odd, haha.
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

Hahaha, I don't think I consider it one of my absolute faves! I did like it but I also liked the challenge. (The other three icons I got were even harder!)
Thank you <3 I tried to make the closer crop work but it didn't look as nice as the larger one. You're right that it makes it look like they're in their little cocoon, which also fits the scene in a way, hehe.
I was actually super proud of how it came out! Thank you for suggesting it ♥ The screencap was a close-up so there weren't many ways to crop it that would make it different. And then everything fell into place, which is rare.
(For the umpteenth time) thank you so much for your suggestions! It was fun and I'm glad you like them :D
