Critique:Reason: It seems incredibly plain, and the colors seem a bit off. They seem like a combination of too dark and yet like the colors are too bright. It just makes for a strange effect. And the light texture is in a funny place and kind of covers up her face, which is strange ( ... )

Good Comments:

I think the icon is eyecatching because in this round this is the one without a manga/anime/game theme xD *laughs* also I like keira *__* so maybe I'm a bit biased about it xD but one critique anyway: choose next time a softer colour or font because the text is a bit too "hard" on the rest of the icon.

I love the blending job and the colours are gorgeous.

Critique:

The text doesn't really fit the icon, if it's wings and angels, try something more cursive. Also, the cropping is a bit awkward and the duplicated image a bit... too ghost like rather than something to do with angels and wings.

The text is a blurry and distracting, and the dropshadow does not fit with the overall softness of the icon.

Critique:

There are three hands in that icon... It would have been better if I could see the guy's hand... And the exclusion layer looks funny. And I don't like the crown.

Good Comments:

The icon is really serene and easy on the eye.

Although it's pale I love the simplicity of it. Could have had a bit more colour depth but overall, I think it's nice.

Though it's a bit simple the crop makes a lot attention in this one. You focus right on her smile & the apple and you don't get distracted by the brush and the mini text, it's just decoration like it has to be! I also like the colouring.

Banner will be up ASAP.

Sorry, LJ ate my comment.

Critique:

I like the colouring and the text (with it's placeing) but it's a shame that the picture is so blurry D: (or well you can't see a lot of details in there like the eyes of Temari you can't exactly see what she is doing neither - overall not a very flattering screencap) so the quality goes a bit down. Also I don't like the little square with the same image in it ... but that's a matter of taste ^^"

The character of the icon is too small. And the duplicated image doesn't stand out well. Try zooming in a bit more on Temari and desaturating the duplicated image. But as a side note, I like your text thou.

The details of the icon are all murky and undefined. There doesn't seem to be any textures... it's very boring.

The quality of the screencap used, isn't the best. Also, the appearance is very simplistic; no textures or brushes are visible.

Good Comments:

The layout is just phenomenal. The colors have a nice contrast but not too much. Amazing icon!

Critique:

Reason: The coloring of the icon seems a bit funny. Its too orangy and bright in places. The text is kind of plain too, and could be placed better.

I find the text almost brings the icon down. The font could have been a little different to match the icon more, or the tiny text could have been under "Lelouch" instead of off to the side. I sound picky, but everything else about this icon is amazing. :)

This icon just seems too plan, and the text is distracting. The use of lighting is good, but the coloring is plain.

A very plain icon. The colouring is not too appealing, and seems really saturated. The lines on Lelouch are hard to define, and the background textures used are quite murky, and does not give a "shiny" look. The text is also very plainly done, and the tiny text look far too sharp, clashing with the smooth and murky background.

Good Comments:

Love the colouring and crop.
