As gorgeous as ever! I love your composition on Ben and and Jack and your vibrant coloring on The Master and Sikozu.

Thank you so much for the wonderful comment!! I'm so glad you like them, you mentioned a few of th eones I wasn't so sure about, it's a big relief that someone likes them xD
(...but I have to ask, since there's no Jack icon here, which one did you mean by that? Not that I can blame anyone for switching these people for Jack in their minds, he'd be a much better choice to hang out with than any of these folks tbh! :D)

Dangit, I meant John. They both start with J, and I do it while watching the show as well. I think I would much rather hang out with John, he is definitely a lot more interesting. And your compositions are always stunning and so creative. Wish I had half the imagination.

Oh no that makes total sense! Jack and John sound alike plus they're both super common names so no wonder they get mixed up - that's why I usually call John by his last name I guess :D

I think I would much rather hang out with John, he is definitely a lot more interesting.

LOL yes, definitely! I think Jack could still be a more sensible choice to have as a friend though cause he's not completely unpredictable; if I was really on that island with them, I'd probably agree with Jack that John seems crazy, and I'd probably spend time with Jack more willingly. But as a show viewer I ofc know more and can safely say John knows what he's talking about, and is 100% awesome :3

omg thank you so much about the compositions. I know they're probably too much for many people, so I'm just really super thankful eveytime someone likes them! :') ♥

Yeah...I knew you'd have the best set around. DARN YOU! *shakes fist in envy*

The Ben icon is so complex and creepy and PERFECT for that character! The text is all twisted and the grunginess just suits the images and the themes of Ben's life so well. HE'S THE GUEST OF HONOR. <33333333

That Master icon is so classic YOU. The coloring, text work, and composition are so easily identifiable as being your signature details. The Finch icon is so wonderfully sparse and neat. I love the contrast between the bright blue and the darkness surrounding Finch. (You squeezed Michael Emerson in twice!) The Locke icon is absolutely fantastic, and I envy the blocking so much. I'll never practice that skill enough to get good at it. Not enough patience! :P The blending in that Regina icon is flawless as fuck, and I love how the text cuts off at the top AND at the bottom.

THIS SET IS STUNNING, TOMMI.

whoa I don't know know what to even reply to that first sentence!! I can't believe anyone would think this is even close to the best sets in a fantastic round like this one o.O
YOU AND YOUR AWESOME COMMENTS THOUGH ♥ Thank you so much, this was all so wonderful to read. I love that you seem to appreciate pretty much all of the things I mostly worry about and just really want someone to like, such as the crazy compositions, haha.

noooo, I have to disagree here! I think you have a really cool approach to blocking: instead of having to use multiple caps, you often manage to use textures in a way that create a blocking composition within one cap. It's really original and distinctive and I envy that in turn :p

I love how the text cuts off at the top AND at the bottom.omg I love that you're always the one to point out all the weird details in a positive light xD well you know me, if there's one odd little compositional element in an icon, then why not ( ... )

Your bizarre aesthetic jibes with mine quite a lot, so I think that's why I gravitate towards your set most of all. It's funny to know you even worry about what anyone thinks of your work cuz it's always so unique and funky and cool! Even if someone doesn't like it, they certainly can't say it's boring or not complex. There are always a million details packed into such a small amount of space that it makes me go 0__0 WHAAAAAAAAAT????? HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE AND REAL???????

My version of blocking results mostly from not being able to color multiple images in a manner that makes them flow together cohesively like you and most other people achieve with caps and photos.

WEIRD DETAILS ARE THE BEST. You incorporate them so seamlessly into your work where they almost don't look weird at all. Instead they look exactly like they belong where you put them. It's pretty darn cool! :D

Oh my, it seems we're right back to our mutual admiration society conversations. COULDN'T BE HAPPIER ABOUT IT! <3

I really love the balance of the composition on the Scorpius icon and the muted color palette of the Regina icon. (Also, quality choice inviting the guy in the s&m suit. I feel like Scorpius would bring out the "worst" in all these creepy villains, lol.)

Aw, thank you so much for the kind words!! :) so glad you like those things!

Lol, yesss this so much! Scorpy was such an obvious choice for me, how could I leave him out when he's already dressed for the occasion :D
