I GOT NOTHIN' much to say, really, other than a couple small gripes.

#s 8, 11, and 12 all have that oversaturated/almost-too-bright color scheme that bothers me, like the bright yellow hair/overpowering red that really steals the show for the rest of the icon, and #11 looks a tad oversharpened.

THAT ASIDE THOUGH I really love the subtle blending on 1, 2, and 9. The Duo icon especially, I love to see more subdued hues balanced really well on a dark icon.

...OH AND PUT MORE SHADING/HIGHLIGHTS IN HAIR GDIT I don't know orz;

/IS SO VERY HELPFUL!?! I love your icons daughter. >:

PAPA GIVES CRITIQUE TOO WHY ARE YOU PEOPLE EVEN AWAKE AT THIS HOUR fjasdklfrijoles

AS FOR... THOSE. idk, a lot of it was just messing around with different effects and ish, but I'll definitely take it into account when I start coloring manga scans again.

AND THANK YOU.

THE SHADING/HIGHLIGHTS NEVER LAST LONG WITH MY COLORING sob.

PAPA IS SO VERY HELPFUL >:

[dickings]

LOL BECAUSE.... IT WAS RAINING AND I SLEPT UNTIL 2:30 IN THE AFTERNOON. SO I AM STILL AWAKE.

Doesn't daughter have a tablet too? >: >:

LOL WHY NOT.

Papa... will agree to disagree. :| /puntnuzzle

[negakat.livejournal.com]

OH. WELL. That's a good reason to sleep. >:

Yes, daughter only has a tablet and no mouse. >:

BECAUSE THEN I ADD A FILL LAYER and it disappeeeeaaaars that and I don't really make it stand out that much. /lol realism

...HOW DO I GET PUNTED AND NUZZLED AT THE SAME TIME? D8

[dickings]

Awww yeah I don't have a mouse either sob. Though my tablet has one, and I TECHNICALLY have a mouse but I never use either in this setup.

LOL FILL LAYER WHY WOULD YOU EVER. Just color with screen & multiply LIKE A NORMAL PERSON GOD DAMN.

Haha mine are subtle to as seen here in this icon. ):

BECAUSE PAPAS ARE ALLOWED TO DO THAT. >O

[negakat.livejournal.com]

aha I don't even have the mouse for my tablet. ;; Left it at my mother's when I moved.

BECAUSE IT BRINGS OUT OTHER COLORS. And I do use a linear burn layer. >( AND AUGH I HATE SCREEN LAYERS WITH A FIERY PASSION. fjlksdjf
