Ooooh, I'm a big fan! I really enjoy your anime icons, especially, since they capture what I really like- brightness and quality, without being overly touched up and made fancy- If that makes sense. Either way, I adore the way you do them.

I like these! I think that a few could possibly be brighter, though. Either brighter, or with an exclusion layer on top. (I can totally see the third icon on the top being totally awesome with a hue/saturation layer, for example-- but that's just me and my taste in bright colors.)

I wish I had more non-manga icons to share but these are examples of my best, I think.

Here's some samples:

I think these are the best out of what I've done recently. My older stuff? I keep looking back on it going "I THOUGHT THOSE WERE SO GOOD OH WAIT THEY'RE OVERSHARPENED AND RETARDED" soooo...yeah.

._.

Honestly, there are some of your icons that I absolutely adore. Your last sample is definitely one of them. The colors are gorgeous, it's not too busy or too plain, it's just fjkfs;.

--But then you've got things like your third one that kind of just... ugh. The coloring's fantastic, and the colors you use are still gorgeous, I just think your icons look a little flat with just that alone, you know? Maybe try adding some gradient soft-light layers, or a selective color layer to slightly change the color of the lineart, so it doesn't stand out against your color so much (or you could change it so it stands out MORE, but that's up to you). Just sayin', black lineart is so zetta boring. you know? I want to see you experiment!

Ohh....I really like the last one. And the first one. The third one's cool too...^0^

(The white-haired guy is amusing...XD)

Wait...concrit...hmm...uh...more angles? And not just faces?
*fails*

you really make me want to get a paid account D:
more than anything, i love your choice of pictures.
even though some icons are pretty simple, it's still eyecatching ♥

Hey! I just did my own thread and was pawing through the comments and found you! I love your cropping and colors. The composition of number 6 and 9 are just awesome! Something feels kind of off about number 7 though. I think the coloring just makes Eames look kinda well, too dark. It might be the red tint

I love your crops forever aakjsdas. What I like best about coloring is when you have like...two main colors I guess? OR THREE IDK. Like that DGM icon on the bottom is very pretty because of the color contrast.

i love the ones you do without faces. anyone can slap a happy character with some saturation tiddlywinks, but to recognize and crop out a gesture instead of an expression, and then enhance that in 100x100... that's awesome.

and i hope one day mine will be as good <3

also i love how your colored manga ones turn out *o*

I always love your icons!
You are very good with both caps and art,

Hope to see more soon =)

So many of them are just... striking. I especially love the first and fourth ones. ... I have nothing constructive to say, really. XD

Blue and red comes out really well in these! ♥

your icons are hot!!
but sometimes I think they are a little too busy, you've been getting better though!

I haven't been making icons for very long nor do I have as much skill as other makers, but any helpful criticism would be excellent. Thanks!

your cropping is pretty good so far, but maybe try and utilise more negative (blank) space in your icons to draw the eye to the subjects more.

All of these are pretty much the most recent ones I have; none of them have been posted up yet.

I haven't had much time to improve my graphic design skills, but any helpful concrit is very much appreciated. Thank you!

I like your croppping a lot, I always have a problem with any animated so I admire those who can work with it. I would just suggest to maybe experiment with lighting and maybe contrast/brightness and see what happens!
