The ICON CRIT meme

Anonymous icon critique meme

Do you ever wonder if there's something that you could improve with your icons, or have you ever wanted to tell someone that there's one thing that they do phenomenally, but you're afraid to leave a comment logged in? Do you just want a no-risk place to get icon concrit from, without the stress

The coloring style and textures used in your icons are amazing, they always make me keysmash in one way or another.

[powercorrupts]

Jeez they're all stunning. Love the subtle textures and the original cropping, and number three is just beautiful all around.

Thank you so much! =D

LJ's anon confirmation drives me nuts sometimes, I usually end up getting tired of it myself.

I love your icons. The color and everything about it just makes me ♥♥! But as for crit, the second icon can do without the text texture.

[powercorrupts]

Thanks. I have a bad habit of throwing text textures on things sometimes, I'm going to try to have more alternates without the text in the future.

I always adored your coloring. Sometimes, I find them a bit too dark, though. Some of them could also you alternates without text, but other than that, I love them. Keep up the good work!

Thanks! I'm really going to work on how dark the icons are, because my monitor does weird things with brightness and contrast, and I'm just bad in general at telling when things are too dark or light.

I'm glad I can find out this way that I'm going too dark on the icons. =D

I like most of your icons, but some (not any of the ones here) look a bit too sharp and overcontrasted. Also, while I do like your coloring, sometimes working with a darker cap (or if someone's face is hidden by shadows), the blue tends to be overwhelming. Textures work nicely most of the time, but in icons like #4, the dark texture on her face looks a bit out of place. I also don't quite understand the crop in #4, but I love the crops in #2 & #3.

Thanks! All the great crit here is really amazing. I'm going to be refering to this thread like crazy the next time I make icons.

I LOVE your coloring to bits and pieces. Seconding what other anon said about text, but that's all I can think of.

I love your coloring, it's so creative and unique. The only thing that I might say against it is that sometimes it gets a tad bit too dark and murky, and the tiny white flecks of light can seem overused. Otherwise though, don't change a thing. ♥

[powercorrupts]

Thanks! I'm definitely going to have to watch out for the white flecks and how dark the icons are.
