And time for my last, but in absolutely no way least, stop on this Doctor Who battle tour! As I've said to the other two, you guys did a magnificent job with this battle! The results are super pretty, and everyone did such interesting things with the caps!

Now let's get onto my favorites of yours:





THE TEXT IN THIS ONE IS PERFECTION. I LOVE IT SO MUCH. But really the standout is the crop here. I love that you pulled back a bit because it allowed for some more subtle lighting which I think you've done really effectively here. And the muted coloring really suits the overall tone of the icon so you've done really well at creating something really cohesive and beautiful. In the next one, again, the coloring pulls me into the icon. The yellow/orange colors just pop so much, and I love the contrast with lighter purples/lavenders. Holy mother of composition in the next one!!! WOW. I love the whole idea of this. I love Missy in the background there; she's subtle enough not to take over the icon, but still there enough to be noticed. And the little ropes around his wrists are just icing on what was already a pretty wicked good cake. So this one is super lovely! But my favorite, as it has been for both other makers in this battle, is this last one here. I don't know what it is about this cap, but it must have seriously inspired all three of you! You guys all made fantastically gorgeous icons out of it, and yours is absolutely no exception to this. The crop is AMAZING. It's crazy good, and I am so in love with how close you've pulled in on it. I also really adore the coloring here. The muted tones still have this warmth about them that's really, really lovely.

Great job, lovely!! <333

So sorry I've been so late to reply, but thank you SO much for your amazing comment (once again! ;) And I'm so glad you like that 3rd icon as I really tried something out of my comfort zone and allowed myself to go crazy! So if it works that's really cool!
And thank you for that 4th one as I loved what nightbulbs and marcasite have done with the cap as well! :)
