Ugh, getting so frustrated with myself

crits for number 07, unscreened is fine, please?

Congrats everyone <3.

[kayable]

Oh don't ;A; I'm stuck in a little rut right now too and it's a little disheartening but you'll work through it C:

FAVOURITES:
7 - Lovely colors and I love the duplicated frame on the top portion.

LEAST FAVOURITES
07 - I feel that the composition is slightly off balance. Perhaps just one frame in the center would have been more focused. Also, in comparison to the frame texture used, the image looks somewhat blurry, which may have been due to image quality, but the sharpness of the frame really highlights it, so perhaps slightly blurring the frame would have hidden that a little better?
07 - I like the composition of this icon, but the subjects themselves are blurry while the frames are very sharp. It's very distracting and my eye is drawn to the frames and not the characters. I also had to struggle to make them out.
07 - the image doesn't go too well with the frame in my opinion,however,I love the general composition of the icon
#7 - The frame and general image quality doesn't look very appealing. The square around the frame looks like it could be from not masking it correctly as well.

Congrats to all the winners!

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

FAVOURITES:
6 - I love the misty feel of this icon and the faint pattern/image in the background; the colors are pretty too.
06 - Love the texture usage! I do think the side bars would look better if they were both the same color though? I think the light bar looks a bit better.
#6 - This is a cute one. Like the texture and colors used too.

LEAST FAVOURITES:
06 - It rapresents well the love, but maybe a little darker pink for the background,because the subjects get really lost in it.
06 - I find the characters look a bit... washed out perhaps? I feel that in comparison to the backround, the characters could use a little more hue/saturation tweaking. Otherwise, I love your use of textures and it's a very strong composition with good focus~

ADDITIONAL
06 - the color and background is so so pretty!It has a perfect touch of shininess to it

Ahhh thank you ♥ congrats to all the winners!

I would like mine crits, unscreened is okay :)

[kayable]

FAVOURITES:
01 - I love the combination of the subjects, looking as the man is in the portrait while the other character is in front
01 - This is a cute icon! I just wish that the character's faces were easier to see/a bit more well lit (especially the guy's)
01 - Beautiful coloring and the lighting is just perfect

LEAST FAVOURITES:
-

ADDITIONAL:
#1 - I like the warm coloring here, and how the frame seems to capture them in this 'moment', but there's a bar at the bottom that doesn't look intentional? I don't know, it looks a little off.

[astrokittie]

Waa, thank you for third again! I would like my crits if I had any.

Unscreeded is fine!

[kayable]

FAVOURITES:
08 - the combination of the texture and the subject is fabolous
08 - You recolored the image beautifully,and the frame and colors just blend together so well
#8 - The image itself fits in well with the general feel of the icon. The greens and yellows are quite nice too.

LEAST FAVOURITES:
8 - The colors in this icon are a bit all over the place. I do like colorful icons but the blue/yellow/green/red rainbow effect here is confusing to the eye. There is some blotchiness which may be part of the original image or frame texture but with the number of colors in this icon it just makes it look rather mottled and low-quality.

ADDITIONAL:

And gahh I'm so sorry I didn't count the votes properly sorry ;A;
