I hadn't actually thought about the theme of the challenge when I was making icons. I think that if I had, I would have iconed different things and had done some other things with my submissions. But anyway, it's cool that we're all comeback kids now!

_puchula_: Of all the people to make a 'comeback', you are the one I'm the most excited about. I missed your icons and these make me realise just how much! The last two in particular are sensational. The colours, the grittiness, the text, it all adds up to some truly special icons.

burntheflaws: The colours in your second icon are exquisite. I know nothing of this fandom, but these icons have a sense of urgency. I don't know if that makes sense, but it's meant as a compliment. ;)

dashberlin: So what, you thought that if you made a comeback, you'd do so with one incredibly dazzling icon? ;) Well, it worked! The colours are gorgeous and hello, hairporn!

deternot: I like how you focused on two ladies in this set. My favourite is the first one, I'm a sucker for semi-centre crops and vertical lines in icons. Great set!

longerthanwedo: Ooh, this is a cool colour scheme you have set up here. Number 30 is my favourite, because the composition is very intricate and original and it suggests a lot of movement.

raiindust: Ha, you used that Eleven-in-front-of-wallpaper screencap. I started with that one too, but got distracted by a texture I've been wanting to use forever and ended up with this. I love how de-saturated yours is and the texture makes it very interesting. I'm also pretty much in love with number 40, because of the colours and the contrast and ugh.

rocketgirl2: I love how varied this set is! I like the focus on the hands in the first one, the negative space in the second one and everything about 59. I think that's definitely one of my favourite icons from you, ever. The composition and the colours are absolutely stunning.

tinebrella: That second one is to die for. The composition and the crops and the texture, just wow!

Thank you Janie! I'd say you can take some credit for making me come back. ;D

Thanks, I'm so glad you like it. Honestly, I don't know much about this fandom either, but raiindust's OB caps were so inspiring that I just had to use them!

Thanks Janie! 59 definitely ended up being more popular than I thought it would (when I made it, I was panicked that it sucked, but had to submit because it was last minute...)

Thank you so much Janie!

The textures and composition elements of #21 and #22 are lovely! The blocking in #21 is so well composed, and I think the use of blue and white lighting here creates such a stunning contrast in the icon. And the mixture of colours in #22 just amazes me completely. The way you've drawn the colours out of the image and used them to create layers is astounding. Absolutely wonderful stuff ♥

Thanks, Jess! I'm quite pleased with how 22 turned out, with how dark the cap was. :)
