Thank you for rec'ing your fantabulous Willow set to me!
Favorites? Hmm, too many to name? Hat, mouth, animal, Cat 1 & 3 - I love the dramatic (but still realistic and not too-too) contrasts of light and shadow in those two; AC2 & 5, alt 4. I'm really admiring the clarity of these icons; they're sharp but not oversharp, and that's a tricky thing to master.
(how terrible am I that the green thing-y on her shirt in Cat 2 reminds me of a marijuana plant symbol?)
Some of these didn't turn out as well as I wanted them, but I had a REALLY freaking hard time finding good quality caps. I worked with what I had, but Cat 1 is probably one of my favorite ones - it just came out so clear and I really like icons like that.
And yes, I didn't even realize what was on her shirt in Cat 2, but now that you've pointed it out, that's what I see, lol.
but I had a REALLY freaking hard time finding good quality caps.
UGH tell me about it. I've started using the "HD" caps that have begun popping up on Screencapped.net and the Buffy in HD Facebook page - images that look awful in video form (too sharpened, skin looking plastic and smooth, too little noise, cool colors, loss of shadows etc) are ironically sometimes great for icons.

I've never really thought of looking for those. I haven't iconed in so long that I've pretty much forgotten everything I used to know.
(btw, if you're interested, I just finished a Buffy Summers set here for females20in20.)
