Wow, gorgeous coloring! I love how bright the last ones are, and #5. The second icon is good but isn't very interesting; maybe you could add a texture? And some text or something on #4? Other than that - utterly gorgeous work! *loves #11*

dude your icons are just like. akljfslajfldhajs so hot ;; nothing wrong with them that I can see, your colouring and textures and everything are so boss! LOVE IT ♥

i'v always loved your use of texture and color - you're really like ridiculously good at that as well as composition and cropping. i'm really unsure what to critique, to be honest, ha ha.

So cool! I really like your compositions, they're so interesting and diverse~ Especially 1, 4, 7 and 9, but they're all lovely!

[ex_maylene942]

you have an amazing texture sense! i myself have never been great with texture, but you truly use it well.

[radarsparks]

you have pretty and neat texture use! it's inventive and i adore it especially in the eleventh, fourth, and second icons. however, in the first and seventh icon it seems a little too much.

you use textures and text very well, i really like your coloring too!

[januaried]

Gorgeous!! I think maybe #7 could do with less green multiplied texture, but otherwise I love these icons! Bright beautiful coloring and lovely texture use. The first one is my favorite.

[radarsparks]

love your text and texture use, and the coloring itself is very eyecatching. like the person above me said though, it's kinda overbearing in some icons, like the green in number eight. 8x

Nice use of color! I think you should experiment with texture use to make icons a little more interesting though.

Lately I feel like your icons have been a little too muted, or maybe it's an exclusion layer or something, idk. That's more of a personal preference thing, though. But I really like the more radiant coloring in icons 6, 7, and 9~ *__* 9 is especially gorgeous. (who is that? I want to snag that icon sldkjfslf)

i really envy your skill with manga coloring, ngl! and you have a really nice cropping sense.

[garrus]

Your coloring just gets better and better and better. The first row of icons here is AMAZING but that Darth Vader one is something else, too. sdlkfjkdslfj you've clearly been stocking up on that Rasputin juice. ;D

Well you already know how I feel about your icons bb ♥ JDKASJDKADJKAD Honestly, that 3rd icon has amazing manga colouring skills and the colours just fit so nicely together.
P.S. You have improve like a ninja with greased lightning skills. Oh yeah. Seriously though, your icons just keep getting better and better each time.
The only concrit I have to just to work a bit more on the movie icons :)

EDIT: I loved your icons before, but your colouring and cropping and text usage has gotten just so wonderful. And your use of negative space is so impressive ♥
