I agree, it all looks great! I especially like the colouring of your Flint and John Silver icon, the softness and lighting of your Miranda icon (also the muted colouring looks great, I wanted to use the muted theme with this cap as well but it didn't work out xD), and the colour scheme and composition of your Twelve icon!
Hey, since jsfunction just came by to praise our icons, I thought I'd use the opportunity and ask you whether you'd made any headway into black sails season 2?
Yessss I'm SO excited to finally come here and see these icons even if there's only 6. But, they are all fantastic so this is a GREAT start to your comeback, right?? :)
So my favorites out of them all are probably 2 and 9. 9 is why I even found this post cause it was in a praise post and FOR A REASON goddamn that COMPOSITION. Just, flawless! Looove all the visual elements (the circle, the painty thing that divides the icon into blocks, the TEXT MAGIC and the negative space to balance it all out). Everything just works and the coloring makes it even more eyecatching. And 2, there's something super amazing about the coloring, I love that it's dark yet vibrant, the colors are a bit unusual in a really cool way, and all the colors stand out even better because there's so much black to give it contrast, just fascinating to look at and idk why but it kinda reminds me of older icons (by good makers, not talking about old terrible trends lol, but some icons from ca 2010 or 2011 that were actually great). Also I'm suuuper into the extra

Your thoughts about 2 are just <333 I love the "old" trend of vibrancy/contrast and a lot of true blacks, and I was probably trying to emulate that, more or less consciously. I'm so glad you think it works! 9 is probably my personal favourite as well but it didn't feel "finished" because I was so rusty, so I was extra flattered that someone wanted to praise it!
seriously how are you not rusty at all??? I AM THOUGH. The struggle was real.
Yessss there is more Gomez, and I love Missy so much! Let me know what you think if/when you watch S10. It's not perfect and it's a "simple" season in many ways, but after years of Moffat mindfuck, I enjoyed that. :)

Nice icons (I'll be so depressed with how mine will come out, ha!)! Saved #9.

And I'm sure your icons will be great, I'm worried about making OB icons though, I was never great at it...

The battle results looks splendid! Will post a link to my journal asap. Thank you so much for suggesting a battle and playing with me!
(Also, I posted the new battle signup post a bit ago, so in case you feel like iconing some easy word prompts, be my guest! :D)

I am still in total awe of what you did with the Flint and Silver one.
