I like the simplicity of three and four, and that you used an allover color with the lineart in four. Five has a really interesting composition that looks pretty, although pink isn't to my taste. I like the effect you were going for in two, but I think the light texture is a little overpowering, especially at the top. One is a nice basic style with pretty typography and pleasant texture use -- nothing too special but nice all the same.

I'd love to see more experimentation from you with crop or compositions. You've got a good eye for color, now start playing around more.

Yes.

roflmfao gunshou pretty much took everything that I would have liked to say. Colouring is great, texture usage is very inventive and text is awesome! Wish I could use text like that :B

yes

There is something in your icons that I can't quite pinpoint, but they are very visually appealing. The only icons that I had problems with was the first and last one. The first one was great except the text is in red and it doesn't really fit, though it's nicely placed. The last icon, all I see is a keyblade (... it is a keyblade, right? xD) and the contrast from bright/dark makes it sort of hard to see the subject.

Other than that, your icons are gorgeous *__* ♥

No

I'm afraid it's a no from me. I like your icons they definitley have potential! Your cropping is nice, colourings are fantastic but your text & textures let your icons down. You have used textures in some icons wheres you could of left it & it would look nicer.

Feel free to apply in a month time :)

Since I said No surmise said yes. You will have to wait for a reply from gunshou

Good luck :)

yes

Aw, I always really liked your icons :] I really like your use of text and the placement of it, and your use of textures are interesting, like in #2.

I don't have much crit for you except to be careful how you crop around the subject. Icons #1 and #5 are nice, but icon #7 irks me because Yuna is off to the side as if making room for the text (if that makes sense -__-). Other than that... :]

yes

[xartificallove]

I'm gonna say yes. I love your croppings, textures are lovely and I am in love with your font styles! the only thing I will say sometimes your colourings are a little too harsh like icon 1 but I think it works most of the time! xD

As you have had 2 yes's please join the community :)

Wow, you all are amazing icon makers! Well, here I leave a sample of my humble icons ^^

Yes, but

I like your icons, especially your FFVII & FFXII icons! However, icons # 3, 5, and 6 seem a bit overdone (I guess the word is?) Those icons look a bit desaturated or too contrasted. Other than that, your general icons have amazing sharpness to them and just ugh. *__* ♥

Re: Yes, but

[eve_sparda]

Thanks a lot ^^

No, but

[xartificallove]

I'm a sorry it's a no from me. Your ALMOST there in my opinion I was very torn I've been looking at your graphics comm for a long time & deciding. Your colourings are on the right track, your cropping is great but I find your icons a bit too plain. Maybe add more textures or texts, thats just my opinion.

Since I said no & surmise said yes you will have to wait for gunshou to reply.

Good luck :)

I actually really like your icons (especially the x/x-2 ones). However, looking at your community I noticed that you use a lot of 'white' textures that give the icon a bit of a faded look. It works well with some, but sometimes it dulls out only a spot in the icon which loses... the colouring (that I so love). Other than that, I would say be careful on the contrast and where you place text.

Yes

[xartificallove]

I really like your icons, I find them rather unique. I love how number 2 is blurred in little bits and is rich in colour. I love the cropping in icon 7 too. The only thing I really have to say is I like your text placement but not the text I find it a bit boring other than that I love your icons!
