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*

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

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

maylene @ postapocalyptic

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

i have always envied your skill with coloring manga, it is seriously always so lovely.

unasuvas @ ramudaderuta

Your icons all have really nice coloring and cropping. *__* Simple, but beautiful.

You use such vibrant, gorgeous coloring! You really bring those CLAMP images to life, and the cropping is well-done, too. Nothing bad I can say, haha. ;_;

Oh god I can't resist these.

Man, you really have that red coloring down pat. The Terra and Kotori icons are beautiful. I think that the first few icons are a little on the dark side, but that's just a personal nitpick. I love your use of textures and typography and your cropping is just wonderful, as well. ♥

I suck at picking samples. XD;

I feel like you got so much better in iconing recently. You were already really good, but fff your Monster icons and that Hokuto icon? So beautiful and subtle -- it almost looks like the mangaka colored them! You've long been someone I looked up to when it came to manga coloring and it looks like after all these years, you still haven't lost your touch. :D

i realise, however, that i need to start using more textures. >< this is no secret to me.

YOU HAVE A HUGE PENIS.

I hate text and shit some old icons are OLD but as you can see... my style has hardly changed.

You are like my hero for crops. I love how you just use really simple colours and mild textures to such amazing effect. You don't clutter your icons, and you do these things with negative space that makes me envious. It's so nice to see icons that draw the eye exactly because they don't assault it. It's a good thing your comment is a little way away from my radioactivity.


I do have one huge crit for you though. =( Slow Elly is slow. (Also you don't make ninteen billion icons of my favourite characters. Probably a good thing, I've got that covered.)

The cropping is really good! I do think you need to add more brushes or textures to make them even more interesting. Mini text would work really well with these too. =)

Don't really make anime icons...

i love your icon subjects and the faded, aged look they have to them, but also the splashes of brighter color like in five, six, and twelve. :D

you know what i always tell you — look out for the yellows and blues, but they're not much of a problem now. :D i love your coloring for #s 3 and 11. WTH THIS ISN'T AN APPLICATION SCREENING WHAT AM I SAYING XD just... one thing. i had to quint really hard to see who it was in #8. o.o

I really like that broad-white-outline-around-character thing. Also, I generally like the composition a lot; the interaction between the figure and the space. Which sounds really art-wanky but I kind of don't know how else to put it?

puncture @ genesisicons

I could like live off your icons, I swear.

skyfever @ abouquetofroses

Your coloring has gotten so much better. I don't think anyone would call your icons "too simple" anymore. :)

Raves Ahhh, the cropping. Ahhh the difference/light layers. Excellent job, hun! :D And #3, you know how much I love that icon. You're improving in the texture department! ♥

Rants meron ba? For some reason, #2 didn't catch my eye the way the other icons did. :| Perhaps it's the cropping? Idk.

talim (awesugoi). God, don't look. My posts there are so all over the place. XD




Give me crit! Or senseless praise. :'D

I really like how you work with cropping and textures. Your fifth one really caught my eye.

The first two Hetalia ones could do with brighter coloring but otherwise, they all look pretty good!

gyuhyun at hexbomb-de-bom-bom

you're one of the underrated icon makers, really. YOU.ARE.AWESOME.OKAY. i love your coloring and texture use. ♥

and oh, POST MORE. :D
