Yay for creative sprees! You already know how much I love 12 because seriously, it´s so beautiful. It reminds me of sunsets and calm evenings in summer and it´s quite exceptional that your colors are so bright but never overpowering or overbright but the complete opposite, they´re calming. Your icons combine a subtle brightness in them, I think. Which perfectly matches your personality and makes them your icons and not someone else´s.

01 is stunning as well, I love the cropping and how you lay the focus on her hair, it seems like it will swing any minute if you only look long enough, haha. The blue in 5 is amazing, I love the coloring and great capture of the scene in general, you have the right eye what scenes to choose for iconning and which will look great. 06 makes me happy and I love how 06 looks like she is illuminated by sunlight from behind; the way the light fades into her hair looks amazing.

10 is such a cute icon but also makes me sad for some reason. I love how strongly you can trasnport emotions and atmospheres in your icons, that´s really rare. And like I already mentioned, your text choices beats everything, they´re very expressive, without exception. You´d never slap just the actresses name on an icon, your text actually has a meaning. I also like the texture/border use in 27 a lot, the swirls are a great eye catcher as is the cropping in 25. And wow, 28 is seriously stunning, the background behind her with the consistent blue makes her stand out in the center with the coloring like that and I love the fog/veil behind her, I don´t know if that was already in the picture or if it´s due to your coloring but either way it looks awesome.

16 and 21 are so gorgeous, I ove how you use the wide space here, which also goes for 24, you really made it work like that in this little canvas and it looks amazing without the subject losing its depth. You aotomatically get drawn to the icons for some reason.

I also love 18 and 19, pictures that are showing the subjects back are beautiful in general for some reason and the whole black and white feeling fits to this exceptionally well. Also amazing black and white icon in 31, the contrast of the sky blue text matches perfectly to the icon and just to the words on it. Considering 35, it automatically gripped my attention because of the repetitive image, flawless blending here and I love the whole arrangement and compositon of the 2 images.

Don´t worry so much about your work, I think you seriously managed to outclass yourself again with this post ♥

Why thank you for your seriously awesome comment and always believing in me. Seriously you have no idea how much that means to me ♥

I'm glad to hear you think that most of the times my colors are calming. I love using lots of color. I mean I also love icons that have soft natural colors, but that's definetly not something I'm best at. And aww you are too cute seriously with the matching of personality and brightness. Seriously you make me smile :D

I don't really know what to say to the rest, I so love (well loved and love) reading which icons you like and why you think they work and just, yeah, I really love reading it. Though in 28 the veil was already there, I wish I had added it. I did trie to keep with the feel of the picture with the use of the colors like this to be honest.

Okay I don't know what to say anymore, except THANK YOU SO MUCH ♥
