As there are more than 400 people watching this community, I thought I'd ask what your favourite kind of icons are, and what you'd like to see me make more of

As you know I love your icons. I would love to see some Tanz Der Vampire icons, or more of the emotional medieval art ones. Tanz seems right up your aley with your darker style, and I just lke the medieval icons ^.^
i don't know how to describe the icons i like so I'll show you. iconomicon is hands down my favorite icon community of all time. I'm always searching for other icon communities like it, but to no avail. I don't think there are any others. That's a very popular community, so maybe you could try making some icons like the ones they have on there!
I'm a big fan of Jack's icons too as there subject matter is often so 'out there' and I have a number of them. However, I do think Christina's signature style is much more artistic than his in terms of textures and colours as well as the work on the images.
For me, a lot of my icon choices are attempts to add something visual to go with my words.
I have trouble finding images to enchance posts & comments that say common things like:
"man, that sux" "are you serious?!" "you are awesome" "take care of yourself"
Also - I look for generic icons to use for things like music, tv, movie or book posts - something I can use no matter what the specific work/artist I'm posting about...
I hope this helps - it's not very specific but it is what I look for...
I have a selection of your icons scattered across my various journals. The ones I have tended to favour are those that are artistically based and the more gothic ones.
In the former, you often frame the art in such a way that it gives me a new perspective on it. Your Waterhouses are probably my favourites. For the gothic style, you are able to capture a sense of the dark without it all being too gloomy - if that makes sense.
I've also enjoyed the drug ones :) and images such as the icon I have used here that puts over a message without being too 'in your face'.

Any particular movies? I'm saving images from some of the Universal classics right now, but definitely let me know if you have any particular favourites!
