I really like all of these, the soft coloring is so satisfying and nice to look at. ♥
Maybe try experimenting with different colors, I see a lot of red. xD
Not that, that's bad. I love redheads. ♥
Great work. :D

i like your colourings, but you tend to go overboard with certain colours like red (eg. 9, 10, 12) or yellow (eg. 3, 5). i like your close crops (eg. 6, 11) so do more of those?

OMG YOU FELL FOR THE TREND?

Holy shit, y'know I love your style, it's so awesome, your creative texture usage is bomb & ~inspiring~ & I swear I is shitting bricks over 2, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, & 11~

[palereverie.livejournal.com]

You know, the only thing I can think of is that no amount of guessing will let me figure out what is in the left-hand corner of the 6th icon. Wether it's deliberately obscure or not...

Is it John Smith from Pocahantas?

Otherwise I like your icons and have no criticisms ^_^

You're one of my favorite ♥
You're really good at experimenting with coloring and textures
i love all the little lyrics you put on them (especially your banners)

[restlessme.livejournal.com]

I love your close-up icons.
The seventh icon seems to be...too saturated?
But otherwise they are all great and I love the Hiro and Claire icon.

I love your icons, especially Alex ones :)
I'm not good at concritting icons, but I love the colours, and I especially love the second one on the top row, and the textures on the two on the middle-left.
(Where did the bowling ball pic come from? I like the colours on that too.)
:)

I love how you're not scared to try crazy things with your icons! Lovelovelove it. Also, your black and white stuff is some of the best I've ever seen. Especially that b&w Basch icon you have posted right there.

I think that your strongest point is your text though. You're really good at placement and variety with text. :3

Sometimes your coloring is a bit off, imo. I think it has to do with textures. Like in the Auron icon. I think it would've looked better if it was completely b&w.

*hides in a hole* I don't like critiquing. Can you tell? XD

edit: edited for excessive use of the word "though". *smacks forehead*
