First row: AWESOME coloring. \o/ Very steampunk-ish and angsty. The last two (Charlie & Miles) are my favourite and I just noticed that they both have blood on their face in a similar swipe... *inner shipper always finds a cookie*

Second row: GIRL POWER AND FACES OF BADASS. ♥

Third row: Gun, hand & man. You did some really amazing cropping there, T. *two thumbs up*

Fourth row: Love the second one to pieces but that's given. All that touching is driving me crazy. -_-

Fifth row: Urgh, more angst and family!feelings. And Charlie going to kick ass. xD

Sixth row: First and third my FAVOURITE, though Charlie more so than the gun!porn. She looks really beautiful. ♥

(Can I ask you were you get those textures from, especially for
and
. I don't know if you used textures for the first row icons? I really love what you did with them. <3)

Heee icon commentary - fantastic :D

(First of all, omg of course you can ask - and I am such a dil for not noting it down (I just rarely use textures - coz I never know how to handle them and when they're involved everything's a happy accident - so I forgot. Bad Thursday):

I used one texture on both of them (this one) from this post and just span it around or coloured it or whatever (IDK I just mess around until something starts to look right sometimes).

And then this one from this post, which I coloured redish coz Nora's wiping Charlie's forehead with a red rag...but it looks kinda like a flower or a scarf and I love that little burst of colour so I wanted to go with it.

And then for the Nora icon I used this one from this post.

Hope that helps, aaaaaand you've just reminded me to go get more textures - so there goes my afternoon.)

Thank you, and riiiiight? That's my fav Miles icon that I've made (which isn't saying much) but I was having so much trouble with his stupid (awesome) face not looking right in my icons...and then this one just happened and I was all. FINALLY \o/

Ps. My inner shipper loved that too. (And omg I have too much fun with people bleeding and such...this very nearly became the everyone's bleeding and look we have guns icon post)

GIRL POWER AND FACES OF BADASS. ♥

That row is the Rachel hair appreciation row, I could make a whole Rachel's hair icon post.

Third row: Gun, hand & man. You did some really amazing cropping there, T.

*bows (can you bow to thumbs up? I think you can)* - cropping's my fav thing to do....and I like to think I do it well XD

To me, it's the: 'Guess who was watching the new Star Trek Trailer on repeat and fell in love with colour and sci-fi all over again' row.

All that touching is driving me crazy. -_-

And she looks so peaceful, like she's gonna take a nap...she probably has a concussion but it's so sweet.

First and third my FAVOURITE, though Charlie more so than the gun!porn. She looks really beautiful. ♥

Awwwwh. Capitals. I have like a thing about hands - I LOVE HANDS - and also people not looking forward (which you can probably tell from the icons) so I'm glad you like the gun!porn one lol. And yes, I like that Charlie icon because (if you haven't seen the show) she looks like she's leaning out of something, or leaning over, and she has like a hood falling back or something.

...or at least, that's what I see.

And I didn't use texture's for the other ones...because I have the worst texture saving policy ever, in the history of saving files. They are literally all over my download folder. ALL OVER.

They're separated into/labeled with their makers...but that's it.

So when I mess around in photoshop I generally can't be bothered searching for them (I AM LAZY) but I only just stumbled upon those 4 I mentioned a couple of days ago so I knew where they were (I make the icons and then...if I don't like them, I try and improve them. The two icons you mentioned, didn't look right as they were, so I prettied them up with textures).
