Your top 5 are gorgeous! Especially 1 (I love the composition, you're really a king of complex icons) and 5, the cropping and the obscure coloring is great!

ICON-PERSONAL ---- Your Colour: PINK, and also yellow, cyan and purple. Basically all the candy colors that I should be ashamed of liking :p Your Character: Rose Tyler is probably my most iconned character, because she's seriously the BEST to color. Also Simm!Master because he's adorable and nobody else icons him. my current obsessions are Claire and Sayid from Lost, and I feel like soon I'll be spamming my icon comm with Ben Linus icons because I might be alb in love with him too :3 oh and if I count my first year of iconing too, I think I've made the largest amount of icons of Chiana from Farscape. Your Fandom: Doctor Who is by far the most iconable of my fandoms, and one of my top favorites as well! Also Lost as far as iconing enthusiasm goes, I just haven't had much time/opportunities to icon it yet. Your Technique: umm, I'm pretty much a three-trick pony. My techniques are 1) super vibrant candy color explosion icons, 2)

The second one of your Top 5 is just wonderful! :3
Also Simm!Master because he's adorable and nobody else icons him Yess never stop iconing him because he is just kjhfjgfgsdjfas I need to start cioning him again, I miss my Master ;___;
I WILL NEVER ABANDON THE MASTER :3 though at some point I'll run out of caps to use. I have this huge folder on my desktop containing all the Simm!Master caps, but there's not that much variety in them... he needs to be brought back to the show. As a regular character preferable. Seriously my dream scenario would be that he'd be the 'companion' (except more like a frenemy/lover) and they'd travel together with the Doctor :> though that might not work in practise since the Master would probably side witht he villain of the week while the Doctor would try to fight them...
Ooh, nice prompt! I never make much hair porn icons cause most of my subjects have these short boring guy haircuts. Now I have a great excuse to pick caps based on shallow reasons like gorgeous hair, so thanks xD

ICON-PERSONAL ---- Your Colour: anything vibrant! I don't think I tend to stick to specific colors, I just try to work with whats in the cap Your Character: Padme Amidala probably Your Fandom: Star Wars! mainly because it's the great love of my life and I know those movies (and therefore the caps) inside and out, which makes it easier for me to icon.

Yes! Keep practising because this is the only way to get better and better!
I know those movies (and therefore the caps) inside and out, which makes it easier for me to icon.
This happens to me with Supernatural, I love this show a lot, and I know almost every single detail of it, so when I'm iconing SPN I'm like really comfortable and relaxed :)
--- And I'll make you a request then: Star wars scenery icons maybe? :)
