Here's an icon battle between me and narniacmr. We picked multiple images from multiple fandoms (Lord of the Rings, Star Wars, Merlin, Supernatural, Lost, Bones). All of the icons are under the cut + my variations :)
narniacmr's alternatives can be found HERE, do check them out!
Please remember to credit the proper maker if you're taking any!

Okay, first:
I love how similar our icons turned out with some of the images - Frodo is the perfect example XDDD WE'RE AWESOME <3

1- Your images: Kate, THAT WAS THE HARDEST IMAGE TO WORK WITH EVER. EVER. EVER. HOW COULD YOU PICK THAT Trust me, I probably made 20 icons out of it before I was satisfied with a certain coloring, IT WAS SO HARD ;___; and I still don't like it XD
2- your images: Frodo and Sam, those are 6 textures there XDDDDDDDD Seriously, your images were so hard to work with XDDD I had to put extra effort.
3- alternatives: frankly, I DON'T KNOW. I always have such a hard time in the end when I have to pick the images I want to use for the original thing (as opposed to alternatives), I keep changing my mind until the actual deadline/posting time comes. For example in this case 4,5,15,16,17 and 20 were my first drafts but then as time passed and I looked at them I decided to work more with the image. I was still changing my mind until I started uploading the icons at my scrapbook so I can send them to you XD

My favs:

1. my images:
Booth, beautiful! I love the contrast. And H5 for doing the same icon!
Anakin and Obi-Wan! Crop+coloring+text = OTP <3

2. your images:
Booth <3
Sayid, THAT IMAGE WAS SO HARD TO WORK WITH (I never got the lightness right, mine is still super dark DX) but yet you pulled this seriously epic coloring!! Love it!
Frodo and Sam, that blurry background is the most epic thing ever <3 IT'S BEAUTIFUL!
Morgana <333333333 LOVE IT FOREVER. I saved it for future use!
Padme, again you got the lightness right! It's so beautiful <3
Luke, DKLFGVFDKL COLORING (O.O)

I really didn't think that image of Kate was going to be that difficult! But all that hard work paid off because your coloring is so pretty!

Haha, I guess I rarely make alternates so I don't have that problem XD

Your Booth icon>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>compared to mine!
I worked forever on that text so I'm glad you like it :D

Booth=<3 always
Awww... thanks!
That background was completely accidental! I had blurred the background but it didn't look like that until I had put like 5 textures on it!
Yay! I'm glad you like that one, it's one of my favs :D
Now that one I spent a long, long time trying to find the perfect texture for the background.

Uh, we'll do this again sometime! It was so much fun!
(imagine doing it in years when our styles are completely different... we'd look back and this and think it sucks)

[narniacmr]

YES!
(I look back to some of my icons last week and think they suck XD)

[_childish_fears]

I look at all my icons and think they suck
