i like 4 the best and 2 the least. i like that the skin tones are rich and natural. it's bright without being washed out. what i like about 4 is what i don't like about 2. the washed out yellow skin tone. her skin and hair blend right together. and i find the icon over-lightened, not enough depth.

lalonde February 20 2011, 03:33:48 UTC

I like 2 the best because of the soft color and lovely close crop. I'd say my least fave is 4 because the crop is rather bland and the coloring doesn't really pop. It's not horrible, by any means, but I think it needs a bit more contrast or vibrance.

My favorite is #03. The use of negative space and background texture (not sure if it is indeed a texture) give the icon a lot of sophistication and depth, I find. The coloring is nice and vibrant, yet natural. Nothing too imposing or radioactive and I really appreciate that. My only critique is that the subject's face is a little blurry and his features can't be seen clearly. Other than that, great icon!

My least favorites are #01 and #05. The former is just too sharp - the skin and hair of both subjects look pixelly and grainy. That really detracts from the quality of the icon. Also, the brown coloring doesn't look very appealing. Maybe it would have been better to use a brighter hue, with more shadows and highlights for depth. #05 looks washed out (it needs more saturation and vibrancy) and Bella's a little blurry.

best, number two. the negative space is amazing, and the gradient and lighting/colouring.

worst; five. the blurryness, the contrast (and at the same time lake of) doesn't do it for me. I like the crop tho.

redglare February 20 2011, 03:21:46 UTC

these are all pretty good. i like 4 the best and 2 the least. i like the warmth of the light and brown tones of her hair. her looking out of frame gives it some dramatic tension. in 2, while i like negative space, the shadow behind the figure makes it difficult to focus on the flowing hair.

redglare February 20 2011, 03:50:52 UTC

i like number 4, and the worst one... i think it's number 5. number 4, because your coloring is perfect on these, and i love the cropping choice. while for number 5, maybe it's because the icon looks kinda blurry, but the coloring and the crop are really nice.

i like number 5 best, and i think the worst one is number 2. i like number 5 because the icon is clean, and the color is so pretty and vibrant. while in number 2, although i love the crop choice, i must say that i don't really like the random color (red, yellow, green) above the icon. it kinds of distract my attention on the characters in the icon.

Thanks so much for taking the time! \o/

Firstly, gorgeous icons all around! I'm having a hard time picking a least favorite, to be honest. Each icon is lovely in their own way ( ... )

the two car icons are adorable. but my favorite is 1. i love the color, but especially the crop. my least favorite is 3. the high reflection off her face and the color makes her look plastic. whether that's the image or the person, i don't know.

whitkj22 February 21 2011, 00:02:11 UTC

I see what you mean about her face. She is a tad bit shiny. Thanks :D

whitkj22 February 20 2011, 06:48:58 UTC

i'm going to be really honest.

i've been a fan of your art for awhile now, your coloring and cropping is flawless. and i know this doesn't have anything to do with this, but you like the best shows, movies etc. i just really love your work. ♥
