BEST #11 - I love the colors - green with Chiana is not something I'd have ever tried, but it works so well.
LEAST #11 - The idea is great, but her face lacks contrast. #11 - I feel like there's way too much going on with the texture and that the texture doesn't compliment the image as well as it could. #11 - reason background takes away too much from the subject matter #11 - The crop could be more interesting, and I'm not sure how well the green texture works with the image. #11 = This needs more contrast, but the texture is pretty cool. #11 - The texture used has made the subject blurred and out of focus. #11 - I think a different texture might have worked better for this icon; it's a little too busy on the bottom portion of the icon
#12 - the crop and coloring are amazing; so simple, yet so emotional #12 - beautiful colouring #12 - lovely crop and the icon has an elegant, soft feel. Really beautiful coloring too. #12 - reason love the slight blur and the strenght of colour #12 - Good coloring, and the crop is great - nice use of negative space. #12 - Gorgeous, gorgeous crop and coloring; very ethereal #12 - like the subtle coloring. it highlights the subject's skin tone without obscuring or altering it
BEST #01 - great crop and colour #01 - Perfect icon! This is a good case of close crop done well; you've completely avoided the usual image quality problems with close crops, her skin is super smooth and yet her features just as sharp as they need to be. Also the pruple coloring fits the image superbly, creating a strong mood. #01 - love the crop and the purple hue #01 - I really love the crispness and colors here. #01 - Lovely! Great color, crop and contrast. Perfect! :) #01 - really good crop!
LEAST #01 - The crop is just a little too close to be able to tell it's Chiana; the background is gorgeous, though #01 - The icon is overexposed so it loses details.
Aw, I'm really sad to see jac go :( you are making amazing progress and your newer icons are already much better than this one. So looking forward to see more, and hopefully see you on the next round! ♥
Also, wtf? I'm pretty pissed to see 1 and 16 get any negative votes at all, those are some of the most perfect and creative icons I've seen lately and would like to know who made them so I can snag them like yesterday! (Not that I don't think I already know... You both have such amazingly distinctive styles ♥ ). Taste is taste, and shouldn't affect how we vote. Nobody can pretend that the technical execution of those icons isn't perfect. They were risky, but that should always be rewarded when the outcome is technically excellent too. Sorry, I just don't often see icons this good. I'm pretty much mesmerized by them both :') Not that torzy didn't deserve the win, it was my third favorite and a gorgeous icon so congratulations

BEST #06 - Text and texture are beautifully integrated into the image and it maintains a crispness despite the blur #06 - The crop and background texture work very well together. I don't think the text was necessary, though. #06 - the crop is well done and the texture highlights the red in the jacket which turns the eyes to the text, which is very fitting. #06 - Love the use of texture and text here, and the contrast is great!
LEAST #06 - Johns face/hair blends too much into the background/texture colour
BEST #07 - This is my favorite kind of icon... where the colors are done well, it's just sharp enough, the crop is not so close that you just get one or two facial features; it really lets the person you're point of the icon (John Crichton) stand out.
LEAST #07 - it's a bit fuzzy and a tish o the dark side. A little brighter, and a slight sharpen it it would work better #07 - Icon needs more colour or maybe texture, but the crop and contrast work nicely. #07 - the coloring is awkward, making the jacket the focus of the icon, which it probably wasn’t intended to be. Also the background coloring seems to be uneven, but the blurring out of the background is well done and if the jacket wasn’t that oversaturated, the icon would look quite good.
