Oohh, pretty! Harmony used to annoy me, but I really enjoyed her on Angel. I like Accessory, OOC, Re-cast (YES TO EMILIE ULLERUP!), Cat3, and AC4 is perfect. :D
These are GORGEOUS, just beautiful! The entire holiday set is a wonder - not the least bit "cliche" - the text in Cat1 is amazing. Submitting the text version of that icon was the right choice btw.
As to the rest, where would I even begin? Accessory and purple are two of my favorites - i love the way her body is twisted and how you've cropped that - bored, out of character, outfit...ok pretty much the whole darn set here. Super work.
I wonder if rahirah has seen these? I hope so - I always think of her when I see images of Harmony.
Aw, thank you so much hon! I'm thrilled you like them, particularly the Cat set because I seriously had no idea what I was gonna do there until I found the sparkly textures, lol.
Purple was actually a happy accident. I was gonna use it for another one but I loved how the colouring worked for that theme so it stayed where it is :D
It's not just the textures but how well you integrate them that matters of course.
I'm not sure I singled it out before but my eye keeps going back to Cat2, the gold one, and the way the "sparkles" envelope her. It's pretty but there's also a sense of danger and foreboding in this one, of being consumed - by magic? By all that glisters (that is not gold)? By addiction to pretty things? Or it's just a pretty icon, full stop.

Does that happen to you a lot or are you generally able to plan where things will end up and that's where they stay? A lot of my icons are meant for one slot but fit several others as well - I think it's the way my mind works (like water flowing as my sweetie once said) but it also ends up being a problem a lot of times.
Thank you again. I quite like how Cat 2 turned out myself. I'm trying to push myself a bit more when it comes to textures because I usually just use them for light and stuff. And I love your thoughts about it :)
I tend to know which theme/category an image will be used for most of the time. But sometimes I'll start working on it and it will just fit another one better...which is both good and bad. Good because it means I have another theme done, but Bad because then I have to find another image that will work for the existing one, lol.

And thank you - I'm very happy you like them. And I agree - Harmony annoyed me during the first couple seasons of Buffy but on Angel she was awesome!

I think the transition from high school to adulthood really helped her character. And she was funny with Spike.
