odd_one_around, I love the coloring in #005 and the cropping in #012. The lighting in #014 is pretty too and asdfghjkl I love the texture use in #015. Explosion of color is always good. XDDD Typography in #018 is lovely and don't take this the wrong way, but I'm a little jealous. ♥ The close crops in #031 and #033 are phenomenal. Seriously, how do you manage it? I always struggle with close crops, I don't even... Ugh. *shivers* #035 is one of my favorites -- I love, love, love the vibrant greens and the typography is once again amazing. ♥
an_aiko, your icons are stunning. I pretty much like everything, but I'll try my best and pick a few favorites -- wait a minute, do or do not, there is no try (Master Yoda would be proud). I absolutely love #006 and #007 -- #007 especially because bah, the coloring and sharpening are stunning. ♥ #012 is simply beautiful. I love how it's simple yet so powerful, you know? How did you get it to be so smooth? Love it! And your texture use in #015 is pretty damn awesome too. :

Thank you so much! :DDD This is my first battle and I was all sorts of nervous, but I'm so pleased nevertheless. I'm still trying to experiment a bit more with text, so your compliments to that regard are very appreciated ♥ #24 was definitely a very sad scene, the icon turned out simple but I thought it best reflected the sadness there :( happy-harper13's caps were so amazing for close crops (*cough*I might have overdone it*cough*) and so evocative too it's difficult to NOT use a close crop!
About #12 I think I just used a lot of blur tool or gaussian blur probably I don't really remember lol, and I'm sooo glad you liked #20 because I had already worked on that cap and I didn't know what to do without repeating myself :P
Your icons are just as amazing! ^.^ I really love icon battles, because I find it so interesting to see what different icon makers create with the same picture!
OH MY GOSH. YAY! :D Guys, this is made of win. So many lovely icons! ♥
odd_one_around, I LOVE the soft grunge look you've given your icons and how it remains colorful and even vibrant! I love your #6 (perfect center crop! perfect center text!), #9, #10 (perfect phrase to use for that, but of course! ;)), #18, #23 (perfect soft coloring!!), #26 (perfect composition!) and #35 ♥ Did I overuse "perfect"? But that's because they are! ♥
an_aiko, I absolutely love your compositions :O I am all kinds of in love with #3, #8, #13 (using that tree branch to frame Katniss--PURE GENIUS OMG), #19, #21, #32; and I LOVE the text/everything on #16, almost like they're inside the Matrix (who knows, maybe they are). Absolutely stunning, in love with a ton of your icons :D ♥
Thanks so much, odd_one_around, for organizing this battle! :D :D :D It was super fun and YAY SO MANY LOVELY THG ICONS :D \o/
