First of all, your cut tag made me laugh. Ohhhh, Community. The coloring on all of these is great - rich and vibrant without being oversaturated. Smitten made me aww out loud, the look on Annie's face in Flashback is priceless (that little snippet is probably in my top ten Community scenes - the way Britta just randomly flings the chap stick back and doesn't make it), and Beginning is perfect.
But Grace is my favorite. Wonderful cap and perfect crop, and the coloring gave it an almost ethereal quality that works well thematically. (Also, in terms of technique, you did a great job having the contrast balanced between their skin tones. I've noticed in, like, professionally-filmed movies and TV how much trouble people have with that, either blowing the lighter skin out or making the darker skin flat. So great job with that.)
(Argh LJ is not sending my comment notifications, or I would have responded earlier.)
Thank you for the great feedback though! Glad you liked the coloring overall; I obviously went with the same base coloring for all of them, then tweaked it a little for each icon.
I often have trouble with skin color, so I appreciate the comment on that. Although I'm sure I'm also guilty of often messing with it too much so that it doesn't look remotely normal anymore.
Agree with you on that flashback scene, it's so wonderful in it's subtlety, and Annie's face makes it perfect.
