A couple months ago, I started rewatching Babylon 5. Since then, I've been wanting to make some Babylon 5 icons. These are mostly from season 1, with a few text only quote icons from other season's thrown in the mix.
Holy moly these are gorgeous! I really love your style; wonderful use of brushes and textures without overwhelming the focus of the icon. Great coloring. And I'm impressed with the quality of the images; I've found trying to icon this show that I spend a lot of time just trying to clean up the dark, flat quality of whatever horrible film stock they used.
My favorites are:
#18 - It has an almost iconic quality. (Is that a silly thing to say about an icon? 'Cause it's almost the same word. I hope you know what I mean.) Like, you could point to this icon and say, "Here, right here - this is Ivanova."
#26 - I love the composition, with the eyes on the bottom third line. Wonderful use of contrast with the negative space.
#43 - In profile? Check. Looking down? Check. Framed in the bottom half of the space (my favorite thing right now)? Check. And the coloring is just magnificent.

And I totally know what you mean about 18. Ivanova's pose there is so...her. It has an almost epic feel to it.
