ROUND ONE: CHALLENGE TWO RESULTS

[kayable]

R1 CH2: RESULTS
I really need to be doing my essay/report (words why do you not spew from my brain into my blank word document) right about now. But apparently I like procrastinating much better ;A;. Also, here's to not being able to sleep tonight because it's been the first hot day in a while and I feel like I'm overheating already...I don't know

FAVOURITES:
02 - The brushes used to create a motion is well done.
#2 - This composition is fantastic, dynamic, and eye-catching. Loving how you kept the kenetic aspec with the swoosh (brush?). My only critique is that some areas of his body seem a tad bit too sharp.
2 - The sense of movement in this icon is amazing! I love how it feels super charged with energy.

LEAST FAVOURITES:
-

ADDITIONAL
02 - There's so much movement in this icon! It's really cool.

FAVOURITES:
#4 - Beautiful coloring, especially the shades in the hair!
04 - The coloring is extraordinary and the background fits so well with the colors. ♥
#4 - Love that you colored this, and even more that it came out so wonderful. The (script?) in the back adds an interesting touch as well.
04 - To be honest, this icon is really cluttered/too busy and I actually considered voting for it for least favourite. But the more I looked at it, the more I liked the idea behind it with the same girl in two different poses. You did a nice job coloring the image, too!

LEAST FAVOURITES:
-

ADDITIONAL
04 - I really love the backgroud work in this icon, love the way you incorporated that text brush, it shows lots of creativity; the main problem however is that the subject lacks contrast and too washed out against the vibrant colors of the background.
04 - Nice coloring and grungy background
04 - The manga coloring is lovely and the textures used for the background

FAVOURITES:
03 - I love the composition of this icon. I really like the warm coloration, and the monochromatic feel and bright pop of red from the bow is really lovely as well~
03 - This icon is really simple but I reaallly like it because it reminds me so much of Audrey Kawasaki's art! I've also never seen anyone successfully use a wood texture in an icon before! I do wish that you'd kept Mami's face a little bit lighter than the background texture though!

LEAST FAVOURITES:
03 - I like the negative space in this icon, but I think that it could use more contrast and a greater range of tone since as it the subject blends in with the background a little too much.

Congrats everyone. Lots of beautiful icons made for a tough vote for sure!

I'd like my comments please, unscreened is fine. :)

FAVOURITES:
05 - Wow, the colors used in this icon really make it stand out! Great composition, and wonderful text placement as well!
5 - Amazing composition, and lovely bright and crisp colors. ♥
#5 - I really like the vibrancy and blending of the images as well as the drastic contrast between the two figures.

LEAST FAVOURITES:
-

ADDITIONAL
#5 - A lot of interesting contrasts going on here, but there are so many colors that it's a little distracting. The text is awesome though!
05 - I like this icon a lot?!?! The composition is really good wow and I'm amazed how you could fit all that text so well into such a small space and still manage to keep it looking good wow I suck at that
05 - The colors are lovely. ♥ Combining the two images is very nice but I think the text makes the icon too crowded. Reducing the size of the text or maybe adding less words would have made it more appealing in my opinion.
05 - I love the composition in this icon! I just wish that the text was a bit easier to read. Maybe a drop shadow or something?

11 - I like the simplicity of this icon. ♥ I just wish you brightened the dress and made the blue stronger, that way it would have made the red/blue more vibrant and alive.
11 - This is so cute! The faint character in the background is a really nice touch.
11 - Interesting background to make it look like she's sitting on it is really cool
