Thank you sweetie I'm so glad you like these! I'm always most anxious to win the approval of my Willow posse. :D

Nice work. I particularly like the choice of Halloween for the holiday and the autumnal colors for the Category Set, and Bored and Out of Character out of the themes set.

Thank you! I was stumped about Holiday at first because everyone was doing Christmas and, hello, Willow's Jewish (but we never see any Jewish holidays celebrated on the show, unfortunately); but I recalled that the Halloween episodes all contain significant moments for her character arc.

The OOC one is a particular favorite of mine *points to new default icon*

These are wonderful! My how I have missed your artwork and your words behind them! I adore a lot of these and I can really see your progress as an icon maker!

I do not believe I have ever seen the picture of Alyson Hannigan that you used in the Out of Character category before.

I was so sorry you had to drop out of this round sweetheart but given everything that's going on in your life right now, it's not a surprise - real life comes first, and I hope you are finding ways to take care of yourself! I especially appreciate you taking the time to drop by and comment, thank you so so much! I'm glad these icons do Willow justice.

I do not believe I have ever seen the picture of Alyson Hannigan

When I look at the photos at Chosen Two gallery there are an incredible amount of gorgeous photographs of Alyson over the years that are just begging to be made into icons, and only a few I've seen used in fan art. But I do the same thing with Sarah - reuse my favorite images of her over and over when there are plenty of other photos to play with.

I like the teaser that's the close-up of Willow's face with the sparkly lights.

Thank you that's one of my favorites! *points to default icon* I used some light textures I've found online that I hadn't used before with several of these icons, including that one.

Alt 1 was supposed to be the OOC entry but I went back and made a totally new version at literally the last minute because the alt version felt too fussy, too precious and overly-detailed. (The same with Cat 2.)

I think Willow's colors are more vivid with the bright yellow.

I agree. The background is a simple default ipiccy texture I've never used before but the color coordinated beautifully with her w/out being too match-matchy.
