Thank you so much. :)

Your icon is incredibly cute, by the way.

woow, these are so fabulous and colourful! :D
My favourites: 23, 27, 30-32, 34, 36 (though all of your Atonement icons are reallllly great), 37, 42 (only if you have time, obviously, but a tutorial for #42 would amazing! But only if you have time...)
Lovely job!

[firstillusion]

Aw, thank you so much. I'm really happy you like them. I'll try to make a tutorial in the near future, although it was more a big experiment than anything else. :)

Hey :) It was such a nice thing to say that you value my opinion even though I'm not some icon expert or so ^^ *blushes*

#11-I think this one is brilliant, you got the most out of the colors without making the icon look oversaturated.
#15-I like how you went crazy with this one, however I think the women are a bit too far from the center of the icon.
#22-what you did with that one looks really good, it gives the icon some depth
#27- looks magical and I love the brown tones!
#28-29 - amaze me because of the intense colors
#37- I'm a big fan of the cropping! I would have colored it differently though, I don't like the blueish green with the pale yellow so much - but I guess that's personal taste. Maybe some more contrast would have made it look more dramatic too.
#40-Love the brown coloring and the negative space
#46-I think the black triangle doesn't fit the icon so well.

Wow, thanks so much for the elaborate concrit!

I like that you point out #37, because I have in fact coloured it quite differently years ago, with much richer colours. I wanted to use the image again for a challenge but couldn't use the same colouring (I felt that would've been cheating), so that's how this came about. I completely agree: it looks better when the colours are warmer.

I think what you've pointed out are definitely my weaknesses. I really want to experiment with textures and I have a lot to learn in that respect, particularly on an icon like 46.

Thanks again!
