CONSTRUCTIVE VOTES
+ Thought I understand it has to be grungy to fit the theme, I think the icon would benefit from the parts of the texture covering her face being erased.
+ I really love the texture you used but I think it might have been better if you would have used maybe a layer mask and then hide the texture that covered the subjects face. I think it kind of detracted from the icon having it there.
+ There is a lot that I like about this icon. The lighting is gorgeous, and the contrast between the shadows under her face and the light above is beautiful. But the grunge texture going over her face is distracting, especially over her eyebrow and around her mouth.
+ The coloring is nice, but the grunge texture really takes away from it. It just doesn't work here, as it's covering almost all of her face.
+ The coloring here is fantastic, but the bits of the texture on the character's face are a bit distracting.
ADDITIONAL VOTES
+ Love the purple tones.
Miss VioletPOSITIVE VOTES
+++ Stunning composition and texture use!
+++ Texture/the blending works really well together and I love how creative this icon is.
+++ The composition works really well and the positioning of the subject in the center is really effective.
+++ This is just perfect. The colors and concept are great!
+++ The composition works so well! Nice choice of colors and caps! Really clever!
+++ I really love the colors you used and how you actually used two images in the one icon though it looks like it was all one image somehow :) The circles and overlappage really bring out the images and colors. The texture usage does the same too. Overall, gorgeous icon.
++ Great use of circles and repetition. The coloring is also very dramatic.
++ great use of the coloring and the blending.
++ Great use of texture, it really adds to the composition! I think the characters could use a bit more contrast, just to make them clearer, but the icon is already lovely.

+ I like the bold colors here, but I think the second figure is too dark. I have a hard time making them out, other than their arms - the look like a shadow in the overlap of the circles, rather than a second figure.
Countess DaffodilPOSITIVE VOTES
+++ The crop and lighting in this icon are spot-on!
+++ I love the crop, and the softness here really brings out the mood of the icon.
++ Lovely crop and coloring.
+ Nice crop and coloring.
+ Great close crop and natural coloring.
+ I love the colorings and the close crop works really well.

BEST INTERPRETATION

CONSTRUCTIVE VOTES
+ The texture is a bit overwhelming, it distracts from the subjects.
+ I think the black and white texture is too harsh for the cap chosen, I mean it would fit better with a pastelly color (green maybe) in the background because here, it draws all the attention away from the subject.
+ The icon is way too busy with all the circles, hard for the eye to stop and focus.
+ The coloring of the screencap is just a tad too dark in areas and oversaturated in others. The background could benefit from some color (instead of making the smaller circles all black and white, perhaps they could have been done in all different colors), as well.
+ The black and white texture looks out of place with such lively subject choice. I think matching the coloring of the subject would have worked better.
+ The circles texture used is a bit overwhelming and it deviates the eye from the subject. Perhaps if you used a more subtle texture and made the subjects larger. However I really like how they're positioned slightly off center.
+ The lighting and the colors are very beautiful, but texture doesn't really work with me. Maybe it would be better without it.

BEST INTERPRETATION

CONSTRUCTIVE VOTES
+ It's really hard to tell what's going on in the icon, the contrast is too high making it difficult to catch the details.
+ The colors are beautiful, very eye-catching. But icon is little confusing-> it's hard to see what is happening.

CONSTRUCTIVE VOTES
+ I think a wider crop would have been better for this. Because of the beard and the coloring you chose, a lot of the icon is very dark (at least on my monitor) and it makes it hard to make most of the actual features of his face out but if the crop had been outwards more you'd have been able to see more (unless that was what you were going for).

BEST INTERPRETATION

CONSTRUCTIVE VOTES
+ I think the cut it's interesting but the lack of contrast make the icon a bit dull.
+ I like the light and the coloring here, but I find the crop slightly awkward, especially how it cuts off the tip of her nose.
+ This is a lovely crop however the colouring is little bit too dim and the sudden brightness in the top corner is slightly overwhelming and draws attention away from the subject. Maybe making the colouring more vibrant would help.
+ The crop is really nice here but the icon seems a bit too flat. Maybe a bit of contrast would do it some good.
ADDITIONAL VOTES
None.
Miss GoldPOSITIVE VOTES
++ Very nice colouring, the use of overwhelming text really makes the composition more interesting.
+ Lovely icon overall! The silhouette blending and technical theme interpretation really go well together.
+ I like the composition here, with the text in the silhouette and the layer with his eyes. I would’ve liked it better with different text; the repetition of the word ‘what’ doesn't quite fit the expression on his face, for me.
+ I love the use of all the different fonts repeating the same word and the silhouette. Very creative, and the images fit together perfectly.
BEST INTERPRETATION
None.
CONSTRUCTIVE VOTES
+ I think the job made with the silhouette is great, but the level showing the Doctor's face lack of contrast and the blue coloring it's a bit overruling.
ADDITIONAL VOTES
+ Silhouette really works and I really like text.
Countess CapriPOSITIVE VOTES
++ I really like the composition! The cut-out is nice and clean and the texture used is fitting.
++ The sharpening is amazing and texture use is stunning.
+ Awesome use of texture, love the use of pale colours in this icon.
BEST INTERPRETATION
None.
CONSTRUCTIVE VOTES
None.
ADDITIONAL VOTES
+ I don’t like the black-and-white figure with the pale-colored background, it just looks washed out. Maybe if you left the figure in color, or brought in a more brightly colored background.
Major PurplePOSITIVE VOTES
++ Great compostition and coloring.
++ The coloring of this icon is great! The fake background and the lighting go together beautifully without overwhelming the main figure.
+ The placement of the subject on the background really suits the icon.
+ great cut and lovely use of the texture

+ No reason provided.
CONSTRUCTIVE VOTES
+ The composition is definitely interesting but the icon is overall too sharp, especially the text, and a little too dark (hard to tell who the people are).
+ I like the idea behind this icon, but I find the pictures too dark and unreadable. They don’t fit what you’re going for, I think.
+ The subjects are too dark and blurry here and it's very hard to distinguish facial features.
ADDITIONAL VOTES
None.
Agent TurqoisePOSITIVE VOTES
+++ Gorgeous colors and a lovely composition.
+++ Lovely soft coloring and the background texture works really well with the icon. The shadow of her hair is a nice effect as well.
+++ Perfect match between smoothness and contrast.
++ Love the soft tones and use of texture in the background.
++ I think the way she is facing really goes well with the background you chose for the icon, especially the exact placement of her on the background. The coloring looks very simple yet stunning.
BEST INTERPRETATION
None.
CONSTRUCTIVE VOTES
None.
ADDITIONAL VOTES
+ The background is really beautiful and the colors work here.
