It's been a few months since I asked for concrit so I figured it would be nice to go for it again. These are some of my first icons of the year, I'm making them for a battle. I've been working with this surge of inspiration but I'd like to know if I'm on the right track, so fire away :)
#1 - I really like the coloring and the lighting. The text isn't very effective to me but maybe it's my monitor. I can read it but the anti-aliasing looks rough and awkward. I would remove the text altogether or try to find a way to make it smoother. I don't see the point in the blocking. This is a really nice icon though. I just think that the text and blocking take away from the nice coloring and crop.
#2 - I like this. It looks like a painting. I would sharpen regina's features a little bit more because parts of her body look too smudged. I think the coloring is on point. I wouldn't make many changes to this icon. It's lovely.
#3 - It's too sharp. Other than that, no problems at all. Great lighting.
#4 - I like this a lot. I wouldn't change anything about it.
#5 - I think this is too sharp too. Also his neck seems to blend in with his coat(?) so it's sort of awkward. It's the shadows I'm sure.
#1: The point of the blocking was in fact the crop, to get him in the middle of the icon without being too zoomed, otherwise there would be no borders. You're right about the text, it's too sharp, I'll try to fix it.
#5: Good point about the shadows. I'll try to add some light on his neck to mark the difference.
I couldn't sharpen OUaT caps properly to save my life :/ They give me hell and I don't know why. I just find them really hard to icon in general, but the sharpening is the worst part. Thank you very much for taking the time to leave concrit, what you said was really helpful, I appreciate it! :)
