Concrit Meme #23

[absolutelybatty]

We haven't had a meme in awhile because the participation has been fairly low for the past few. But, hey, I'm feeling up to a new one; hopefully you are as well! Just regular, old fashioned style~

I haven't asked for concrit in a while and I would really love some feedback. As much as you can give me!

Disclaimer: I really shouldn't attempt to give concrit here since my own icons are kind of... awful compared to yours :P, but I'll try anyway, I suppose

Thank you so much! For some reason I really struggle with my edges looking oversharpened. I try to soften them out and then it looks so bad. XP I need to figure something out, lol. Thank you! ^_^

Hi :) I haven't seriously tried to give concrit in a long time so I hope this comes off right and all

Thank you very much! I must admit I have some trouble lightening dark caps, and I haven't exactly liked the technique I've been going with. I will play around with curves more. :)

ok. here this goes01 & 02. Although I feel 2 is better solved than one, I'm going to join them because it'll make it easier to explain. I think both icons would benefit from lowering the icon and starting it on top of the line. Giving more space on top will make the negative space more effective and would solve the bit of hair cut in the first one. I think the background on the second one is great. The texture use is very good and interesting, and has a very gold-y feeling which I'm digging a lot. I feel #01 would improve a lot following the same route. wherever by a textured background os just a plain colour (like the blue on the strip). The original background neither a plain colour or has a lot of things going on, so it takes away from the icon instead of providing an extra something

Thank you so much for taking the time to write this out! ^_^ Truthfully these were all very experimental, and I really understand what you're saying about #5.
