COMMUNITY!!
also extra 1, 4, 10, 17, 19 and extra #10 are my favorites. You've picked some of my favorite scenes (not that there are any bad ones) Great job!

Girrrrl, these are great. I love the way you're experimenting with bold, bright colors* - and it works so well with Community. 10 is just lovely, 15 is a marvelous cap/crop, and no lie, 20 is one of the very, very best icons I've ever seen using that style. Extras 1-3 are gorg (Gillian is so pretty!). Extra 6 is amazing - I love the negative space there, and the colors are so bold and yet not overpowering, and you balance Jeff's skin tone well against all that. Extra 8 is super-cute, and Annie's white shirt really pops out.

*I always feel awkward offering concrit when it wasn't requested, but the only icon the coloring didn't work for me on was Extra 7. I think it's mostly because of how red their skin tone got, especially on the left side. I do really like the yellow gradient at the bottom, though.

I'm always welcome to concrit so don't feel awkward about it for me. For that icon, extra 7, I didn't like the way the other texture looked on it (the one I used in the entry) so I went overboard with other textures, which obviously didn't work either.

I seem to always end up with using bright colors, I need to learn to be more subdued with colors sometimes I think! Also I had to put an effort into not making too many Britta icons because I tend to favor her over the others.

Thank you so much for the great feedback; you liked a few I wasn't too sure about like 20, which I thought was okay but I didn't think it was that great. Also extra 6 which I thought looked weird when I was done with it, so I'm really glad to hear someone liked them!

I think if bright colors work on any show, it's this one. And more Britta icons are always great!

I ended up uploading 20 and extra 5. :D

I agree with you on both counts :) Thanks.

Also *squee*! I always get a little too excited when I see someone actually using an icon I've made!

Oh wow, I didn't notice you had signed up and I was browsing through the inspired20in20 entries and looked at your examples and thought 'those look really nice - hey wait, I know that username, yay!' :D So glad to have you at that comm.

And these icons are just amazing - love the light, contrast, colorings and I can see some more texture use than usual and I really like it. 1, 6, 8, 10, 14, 19 and 20 caught my eye immediately, love the colors! Also extras 2 and 10 look great with the vibrancy and all. I wish I knew this show so I could take some :p

Awwww thanks! I don't know if I'm going to do the next round because I felt so much pressure for this one. There's so many gorgeous icons that come out of there that I feel sort of silly trying. But then again it did get me to try some stuff I don't normally do.

Thanks for the feedback; I always find its harder to rate/give feedback for icons in fandoms I don't know. HOWEVER. I cannot recommend this show enough. I know you're busy but you should check it out if you get a chance; it's one of the best shows on tv now I think!

I'll check it at some point if I have the time, especially since it's only 22 minutes which makes it more approachable than something that requires a full hour at a time. I'm always open to recommendatations, especially if they're iconable :p and judging by these icons it does seem to be pretty good material!

That's exactly how I felt about my first round there, and especially since it was that amazing yet terrifying 'do everything you're worst at' round. But I can honestly say your set fits in just fine so if you decide not to enter next round, the reason should be anything but this one :p

Yes, you will probably like it when you have a chance to sit down and watch. It's wonderful.

And thanks for saying my stuff fits in with that comm. I can't really do the sort of trend icons I see so many people doing lately (because I just don't know how) so I feel like my icons stick out as a sort of mess of goodish ones and mediocre ones and just look silly in comparison.

I love the muted purple tone in 4. That's my fave entry along with 15, which looks so cool and sci-fi/geometric!
