I haven't made icons in a really long time, and I'm trying to broaden my horizons. These are the icons I'm not sure about:

1) The first one, whoa. Not sure what fandom this is or who, but I like the crop you have here. The coloring blends nicely with the texture used. Nothing really bad to say about this at all. :)

2) I like the idea, but I think the texture is over-powering. I like the coloring and the composition itself is pretty sound. Maybe try toning the texture down with a more muted background and really punch up the texture around the subjects?

3) I like the angle and perspective you have in this one, but I would sharpen this icon a bit. It appears too blurry. Again, this could be my monitor. You can't, however, NOT icon a good dramatic staircase.

1 - I love the crop, the composition, almost everything. The background has that gold line which I think is just kind of odd. I think if it was just white on that side it would be better. My eye wants to look at that stripe and it takes away from the focus of Dany and Mr. Warlord. It also looks like the stripe goes over him, but that could be the shadow on the picture itself. The background also looks a little pixelated where black meets white on the left side and there is a hint of a reddish gold color. That may be on purpose, I don't know.

2 - The texture just overwhelms this icon. The coloring is good and the composition is good, it just gets lost. I like the lighter part of the texture on the upper right side and the way she kind of blends into it. Maybe add a light effect over the texture to tone it down and brighten up the icon overall.

3 - Love the perspective and the negative space! It looks blurry and needs a bit of sharpen work on the figures, but I love the dreamy effect of the light and the staircase. Nice job!

That thing with the pixelated edge on the texture, could be my monitor. I looked at it on another once and it's not as noticable. Why so fickle monitors?
