I absolutely adore Bekka's style. If there was someone who's abilities I could snag for a day, it would be hers. I love the coloring of her icons, she manages to make great coloring for any fandom (and thats hard sometimes). She has great brush use and great cropping, and she posts A TON, which I love. She also does tutorials and caps and other fun stuff.

Jenn has great text use. It always looks like the text was on the cap to begin with and it never looks awkward or out of place. The placement is great and the font choices are great. Her coloring is also wonderful, whenever she posts a new batch its always something different and gorgeous. There's always great use of brushes and duplicated images as well. Also, special attention must be given to number nine, because making icons with that type of coloring is tricky, and hers is GORGEOUS.

Julia's icons are great at depicting emotions. So many of them are incredibly moving and beautiful. Her coloring is excellent, and just keeps getting better with each batch. I love her use of the aged brushes that are so popular right now as well, I think she's found a way to make it her own and the icons come out beautifully. She
also pays great attention to detail and makes it so the backgrounds of her icon are just as gorgeous as the subj

Joana's icons are amazing. She blends images together better than anyone I've seen, and it makes for such gorgeous icons. Whether its duplicating one image or putting two completely different ones together, it always looks flawless and amazing. Her coloring and use of textures is wonderful, and she makes the best Supernatural icons I've seen. Ever.

María makes absolutely wonderful animated icons. The templates she uses for them are creative and great, and the icons would be gorgeous even if they weren't animated. Her text icons are always funny and gorgeous, and her use of text and cropping make her icons really nice.
