Okay, so I didn't include any of this batch in the last concrit post, but these are some of my most recent work:
Well, technically this batch was made before the last concrit post too, but these have all been made in 2015 and I think they're somewhat better than most icons i've made prior to this year so I think it'd be useful to get concrit on them too.
It's a mix of my favourites & ones I am not perfectly happy with but can't really tell why (#3, #9, #10)

Part 1: Icon 3 concrit slytheringurrl February 19 2015, 03:01:24 UTC

Hey! So, icon three seems too sharpened and IMO, too pale, but that's a personal preference. By sharpening less in her face, Marion would still stand out but it wouldn't be as edged and sharp. But, I do love your use of the far crop. Since you were supposed to make it a muted colored icon (ugh, I didn't see that until I remade the icon), you could bring up the brightness a little and make the icon muted instead of dreary.
RN, the icon looks more dark than muted so here's what I did to change that:

It actually hadn't even dawned on me to colour with a multiply layer, so this helps a lot!!
I'm really excited to make my next batch now and play with it.

And yeah, I made it kind of dreary because I wasn't sure the lighter look was as muted, but looking at it compared to the full colour, it definitely still qualifies, and fixes the issue I was having with the icon, thanks!

Yeah, I actually color with my layers set to overlay and then change the opacity as necessary! Definitely play with it - it really works well!

Part 2: Icon 7 + 9 concrit slytheringurrl February 19 2015, 03:14:36 UTC

I'm just going to talk about icon 9 since I'm lazy, lol :)

I think that instead of screening light textures, try to make your icons pop out more.
