awwww thanks to you love for saying yes lol

as i said in the message i really saved half of your icons in my inspiration folder. the way you use text is absolutely amazing, that tinkerbell icon it's super perfect, because it's so TINK!

and the faceless one is actually one of the most creative icons i've ever seen!

and don't make me start on the icons you made from the caps. I just love this new coloring technique you have, so full of strong textures with lots of colors. look the belle one compared to mine it's just an EXPLOSION of blues and purples. then again your b/w one is so light but at the same time so dark, and i think that scene is absolutely perfect for such coloring.

let's not talk about the blocked ones, cause the 6 one is really really super inspiring for me, cause i actually suck in blocking icons lol and that particular one has more than a block i think. cause it's vibrant but it's also soft under it, it's just perfect how you decided to create that icon!

also i am not a captain swan fan but whoa to that icon. i am huge fan of purples tbh, and i like the different croppings that icon has, cause it actually gives you the sense of ~movement if that makes sense lol

well i basically think i love everything (if you haven't noticed from my current icon lol - she kinda looks like a greek goddess here it hurts so much) and it was so much fun doing this battle really. too bad i was like almost completely uninspired cause i had claimed ouat already and idk i guess i was having performance anxiety doing a battle with you, considering how long i've been following your work lol

but i am all for another challenge :P

(and damn it took me too long to write this comment and i am not the first sobs)

I think I missed out of first for your entry too, alas! Ah well! Flaily birds lose the worm, I guess. XD

You are SUCH a sweetie though! What a wonderful comment! Thank you so much, bb! ♥

I was so worried about faceless, tbh, because even though it came out like it was in my head, it was sort of weird. So I am really glad you like it! The blocking in six though, is a total fluke, promise! The lighter blocks are just Tink again but with a gradient map over top to desaturate it a bit. I was just messing around because the strong shadows looked a little too much on the regularly (BORINGLY) cropped icon, tbh. Buuuuut basically, I just color everything like it's a fairy space au now. I have no idea why.

Performance anxiety?!?! I feel you though. I have the same problem in all my battles too! Especially with talented people like you. ♥
