01. 04/01 - great contrast and perspective // I love the way the light swirls in the texture work with Irene. I think if she stood out from the background more (with some lighting work or something) the piece work even better, though.
02. 00/00
03. 00/00
04. 05/00 - I really like the soft smoky effect of the textures you used.
05. 00/00
06. 22/04 - I love the soft purple tones you used and the negative space. Great composition. // The composition of this is great // The composition is so clean yet has that bit of grunge to give it edginess. The upward curve of the text makes the icon more dynamic, too! // very creative and great use of text // I like the text in this one. It goes so well blended with the image, and the coloring is precious.// The negative space is done perfectly and there's a great use of text, it comes out very smooth and even // great blending and coloring // Great texture use and I like the unique composition and text work.
07. 02/00 - Nice use of textures // Good crop and colouring and an interesting overall composition.
08. 02/00 - The background gives a sense of motion.
09. 00/00
10. 04/00 - I love how this icon stands out so much! I'd wanted to do something like this (with a purple subject and yellow background) but I wasn't sure how much yellow was ok, so I didn't get to. I'm glad you did, because this icon is fantastic! // The background color really makes the person "pop".
11. 00/00
12. 02/01 - The lighting and shadows are very well-balanced. I love all the darkness across his chest and how it contrasts starkly with the bright light in the top lefthand corner!
13. 24/07 - it stands out from the rest of the icons. The crop is catchy and I also really like the lightning & strong contrast. // gorgeous crop and so is the lighting // excellent coloring and contrast. // nice crop, lighting and of course color // the close-crop is really neat and I love the dark purpley shadows and the sharpening is nice. // Gorgeous crop
14. 07/00
15. 05/00 - such creative coloring.
16. 06/02
17. 00/00
18. 04/01 - I love the soft purple light and how there's a great contrast in the icon // i love how strongly the purple comes out everywhere, from her hair to the background to her skin tone, all while without completely overwhelming the bright spots. //while it's simple, I really like the mix of purple and pink and how soft it looks.
19. 07/00 - nice composition and use of a decorative texture // levels and texture
20. 15/02 - because I like the composition. Great text placement and good blending. Very well done colouring. //I love the gradient-ish look, perfect lighting! // Lovely use of light and shade // love the cropping. // (the concept in general is so amazing, the cap plus the negative-space makes the icon so so so amazingly well done! Teen wolf isn't one of my fandoms, but oh well, this is amazing // it fits the theme and i love the shadows/lighting of the icon
21. 20/05 - The soft lighting in his face contrasts beautifully with the darkness to the lefthand side. The sharpening here is spot-on as well! // I love the coloring, the blending and the text. // Great blending // the composition is stunning // the text and font choice is neat, the coloring and sharpening are exquisite and I dig the blending/composition. // Great blending and coloring, the text is beautiful
22. 03/00
23. 13/03 - I love the way the purple is naturally incorporated into the image // Love the bright coloring and texture use on this. // Great composition and I love that kind of gritty look the icon gets through the colouring/use of texture.
24. 00/00
25. 06/01 - great blending // I love the composition and coloring, the texture use in the background is very nice as well.
26. 13/01 - excellent texture & shadow use! the muted tone fits perfectly with the cap. // Gorgeous texture work and lighting. I think a tad more variation in color (like on Stiles' skin) would not go amiss as he'd then stand out more, but this is lovely as-is.
27. 12/04 - the levels have an even light so it comes out smooth and clean and the light and contrast are balanced really well // great combination of caps, beautiful colors and contrast. // i love the crop, as well as the clear, great contrast between the lights and the shadows! it really brings out the purple tone excellently without losing any of the details.
28. 07/01 - KANJIIIIII! I love the way the purple mix so well with the cap. // Love the texture use and coloring! I do think that the character's face might be a bit washed out, but if I recall correctly that art is somewhat washed out looking to begin with, so I can't fault you there. // I love the way the yellows contrast with the purples, and the texture work lightens up the background enough to tie the whole piece together.
29. 00/00
30. 01/00 - Negative space for the win! Maybe is so-much purple, butttttttttt im in love with that icon
31. 00/01
32. 09/00 - Perfect contrast, great painting effect // Stunning coloring // The crop and the colouring are great and the contrast between the purple and the blond hair/light skin tone works really well.
33. 00/00
34. 05/00 - the contrast between red/orange and purple is stunning! // The play with the red tones really brings a warmth.
35. 05/00 - amazing coloring! I love how it's ~purple but still has shades of red and orange and etc. great texture use as well // Beautiful crop and lighting // by far some of the prettiest colouring i think i've ever seen! but a lot of the details are lost and i'm not sure what it is exactly that i'm looking at :(
