What a good post! I'm gonna work on picking favorites from everyone, but in the meantime, I was wondering - which was the easiest and which was the hardest theme for everyone?

For me, easiest was lyrics (cause I just finished watching Given a few days before the battle), and hardest was tsundere since I don't really watch shows where that archetype appears often, so I had to actually google tsundere characters to come up with someone to icon lol

Oh!That's so interesting! :D Gosh,I love Given and almost did icon it for lyrics too,haha!
I'd say the hardest for me was the off centre and Hero because I had to colour the manga scan and also try to make it look good. Silhouette was a bit hard for me because I wanted to have the characters and silhouette both and composing it was the main thing but I'm happy with how it turned out!

While I did colour a manga panel for extreme close crop,it also was somehow one of the easiest icons to make because I knew what kind of crop I wanted and it just fit! XD

Hardest was definitely extreme close crop because I barely ever make close cropped icons, although for some reason a close second was glasses? I looked at the theme and then literally forgot every single character with glasses that exists lol

Easiest was probably flowers because I love a good flower texture!

Interesting question! I thought Tsundere would be hard because I don't tend to like that type of characters, but that means I ended up thinking about it as soon as I saw the prompts and realised there was a tsundere character from a series I've always wanted to icon, so that ended up being my first icon hahaha. On the other hand I knew instantly what caps I wanted to use for Far Crop and Bishie Sparkle!

I struggled a lil with Rainbow because I wanted to do that in the background, but couldn't find many textures I could work with. (And then in the end I just did the colours myself with a gradient lol.) And with Silhouette it took aaaages to use the cap in the way I wanted lol;;

And then Hero, which I thought was vague enough to be easy, ended up being one of my last ones because I just don't really watch much that has an action-style hero that wouldn't also qualify for Badass Adorable and I wanted to distinguish those themes. So in the end I went with more just 'the protagonist', which it seems was a little unusual of me n.n;;
