I think I missed out of first for your entry too, alas! Ah well! Flaily birds lose the worm, I guess. XD

You are SUCH a sweetie though! What a wonderful comment! Thank you so much, bb! ♥

I was so worried about faceless, tbh, because even though it came out like it was in my head, it was sort of weird. So I am really glad you like it! The blocking in six though, is a total fluke, promise! The lighter blocks are just Tink again but with a gradient map over top to desaturate it a bit. I was just messing around because the strong shadows looked a little too much on the regularly (BORINGLY) cropped icon, tbh. Buuuuut basically, I just color everything like it's a fairy space au now. I have no idea why.

Performance anxiety?!?! I feel you though. I have the same problem in all my battles too! Especially with talented people like you. ♥

SO. MUCH. PRETTY. ♥
How am I supposed to get over my Once addiction if your icons keep giving me feels?!
I have so many faves it's not funny, but absolute favourites from you are 4 and 5 from the Caps ones (these colours and light!), and the Themes ones are magic, Faceless is so clever, Negative Space looks like candy to me, Blocking has amazing colours, Out of the Box is a good example of why I look up to you in terms of composition. And Alt Universe and Text! I can't look looking at them, the compositions are clever and fun, plus perfect colourings and text use (they kinda remind me of raiindust icons, but made by you? maybe it's just me, lol, anyway, double awesome and definitely saving these).

Flawless battle, you both did an amazing job :D

I AM AN ENABLER, AND I AM SORRY THAT I AM NOT SORRY.
Besides, it's payback for your last post. So there!! ;)

I am in this weird fairy space au coloring phase right now that I cannot begin to explain, but it's been backfiring on me at the lims currently so I'm just really glad people like the cap section at all, hah! I'm not even sure what I was doing with Out of the Box, but that is such a lovely thing for you to say; thank you so much! ♥ And it's totally not just you drawing parallels between the Alt Universe icon and raiindust. When I finished it, I thought to myself it was kind of reminiscent of a Teen Wolf icon Jess had made. I think it's the combination of fonts, tbh. It's got the playing curly font and the blocky font altogether which is something Jess always makes into magic. I'm very flattered you think I pulled that off! :D

Again, thank you so much, lovely! What a fantastic comment! ♥ We should team up for a Once battle soon as well, tbh.

Haha, but my last post wasn't half as fantastic as this battle :)

We should team up for a Once battle soon as well, tbh.
Asdfghjkl. I'd love to :D Just drop me a line when you feel like making it happen!

So gorgeous. Both of you are my favorite icon makers. I love the colors and the cropping and I keep staring at the prettiness. wandererjulia I love how you turned Hook sideways for "out of the box", "faceless" and "negative space" is also gorgeous. absolutelybatty I love what you did with the text in "faceless" and your "negative space" is a standout. Great work!

Negative Space was a last minute, 'please let this work' type of deal so I am really pleased that so many people like it thus far! And thank you so much; you are very kind! ♥
