See, you don't need to make BaW icons, your coloring is exceptional in each and every of them, I should be jealous :D

I also like your use of textures, the focus and the clarity, and that lights you add are amazing like in #71 (I have such a hard time trying to get that effect ;))

But B/W ones always look so nice. :)

Thanks! :D It took me a really long time to figure out how to get the light textures to work like that. Not sure which person I had originally gotten the light textures from, but the ones I use a lot like in #183 and #11, I realized that they're easy to make. Just take a black background, use one of those fuzzy circle brushes in a bright color on like 150 px and make a fuzzy circle in a bright color on a new layer, then lower the opacity of the fuzzy bright light a bit (like down to 75%), merge visible, then move it onto your icon (it really works well if there's a dark color around) and set it to lighten and it works wonderful. :) I'm sort of addicted to it. ;)

This : http://i697.photobucket.com/albums/vv339/regularamanda/mine.png is one that I made, but like I said I got a set just like it from someone and can't find out who it was. :p

May I ask where you got the texture for 117? I've seen it used a LOT but I've never figured out where the texture came from lol

I love these and I'm totally jealous of your icon making abilities (I still totally suck at them, which bites because I found a cap that I really want an icon of and well...not gonna happen anytime soon :( )

Great work!
