That is a very well-deserved winner :) I like both the voted top 13 and your top 10 (some I probably didn't notice at first that are quite great). I couldn't possibly narrow my choices down from 20 because I'm awful but also wanted to showcase my favorites, lol. I think your Marvel icons are great and I've probably mentioned a couple of times how much I love your animation (Thor and the one from Kings are amazing) and the Sleepy Hollow one is still a favorite of mine.
I've also kinda noticed that voting bias towards fandoms people know (which I kind of understand since it's what they recognize, but wish didn't happen)... I saw it happen myself with a few icons that I didn't like all that much compared to others that got a couple of votes, while others from my niche fandoms got less noticed, too. (Again, I get it but...) /rant I thought your Turn icons look gorgeous and I could tell you love the show a lot just by looking at them <3 I love knowing what makers actually pick at their favorites because I understand them better but I

Aww, thank you so much for this nice in-depth comment ♥
Coincidentally, the icon you're using is one of my favorite icons I ever made :D
Until I started doing my monthly praise posts, I was totally guilty of favoring fandoms I know for challenges (etc.). Now I always try to look at every icon, no matter what it is from. A couple of years ago Teen Wolf was super popular. I'm guessing whatever year that was, the icons probably got a lot of votes for bestof-icons.
Hmmm yeah nominations also follow fandom preferences. But it's normal that the personal top ten and the community top ten diverge *a lot*. (I still haven't posted my roundup, but it's the same every year. :D)
Your winner really is amazing! I also like the animated 6, the painted look in 4 and 5, and the amazing glowy green coloring in 11.
It's interesting that you picked mostly "easy" icons, yourself. I really like the yelow-b/w combo, and the Zootopia icons, and the "joke" icon is amazing indeed.
I would have picked the same winner as the voters in 2016 (and 2019 maybe), but other than that my picks are always very different.
Thank you so much <3
Personally, I feel like simple icons are harder to criticize which is something I notice when voting in LIMS, too. With complex icons I made myself, it's easier to find something that's "off" since I spent more time with it or I know what element I struggled with and can't forget about it^^
