First of all, I want to commend you on your focus on hair in some of these. Super extra amazing and gorgeous. I just made an icon from the same cap as 34 so now I'm all 'never postingggg'; yours is so pretty and elegant with the light and the softer colors on her hair. And 23! The motion you've captured is so lovely, and the colors make it look a little like fire which is super cool. 14, of course, is amazing. Love that the hair acts as sort of...negative space. 20 is my personal favorite though. it is so shiny and glossy and perfect. The light is so, so lovely. And then there's 19 which..is so unique! I love what you've done with the painted yellow streaks of her hair and how that stands out against the purple. So creative!
13 has stolen my heart though. Such a perfect and lovely crop. The coloring is amazing. The orange tones are just so vibrant and lush. Absolutely adore it!
And the text work in 24 is superb. The different fonts work perfectly in harmony, and you text placement is wonderful.
AND LET'S TALK ABOUT 09, SHALL WE? PERFECT COMPOSITION OR PERFECT COMPOSITION? EXACTLY.
Gorgeous work, bb, as always. ALL THE ♥ TO YOU.

LOL DID YOU NOTICE THE AMUNT OF HAIR PORN? I only saw it after a look at the whole batch. But I truly have a tendency towards pretty hair haha :P It's just so good to work with. Please do post your version of 34! I fell in love with that hair cap as soon as I saw it and want as many interpretations of it as possible! I'm sure yours is amazing ♥ On 23, it's difficult to make "motion" caps work (mostly for derp reasons), but when they do, the results are great :D It's one of my favorites here, I'm glad you like it :) 14 is another cap I've been wanting to work with for ages.
20! lol at first I was all "but but won't it be odd if there's an icon of only her back or sth? will people know what's going on?" but, again, the pretty hair won :P I have a feeling Jess has an icon almost exactly like 19 and I feel bad for it D: I wanted a bit more sharpness there, since I usually do blurry, but it didn't go exactly like I expected. Well. 13 is another favorite of mine too ♥! Haha let's not talk about how 9 is just a cropped version of the wallpaper, shall we? :v
Overall I sort of... think I could have done more with this batch. I don't know, while I don't think it's bad, per se, I'm not entirely satisfied with the results? Just that niggling on the back of the mind. Probably because a couple of them have been sitting in my hd for a while and I can't stand to look at them anymore haha. But as alwaysssssssss thank you so much for your kind words, I don't deserve them. Your comments always lift my spirits! Please let me shower you with hugs and chocolatessss~~~! Thank you!

Maybe you feel that way because the batch is disjointed? It is little drips and drabs of things from everywhere instead of icons that ~go together, you know? Individually everything is gorgeous, but as a whole you get the sense that they shouldn't all be a in a post together? NOT THAT I THINK THIS BECAUSE I DON'T; PRETTY POST IS PRETTY. But, yeah. Sometimes I get that feeling if I put a random batch together instead of having something coherent (like a batch of icons all made within a relatively small time period or a 20in20 set that was made at the exact same time, etc). You get these little stylistic dips and changes if the time period between when icon was made is larger, I think.
Anyway, Imma be over here nomming on my chocolates, thank you kindly you wonderful and amazing iconning goddess you! ♥
