I understand what you mean with the shading. I find myself having problems using the right amount of shades lately - while intense shading works well with some shounen series, it looks really awkward in others (Trc being one of them ;A;). But in my opinion this colouring style is more fun to do, so I'm quite reluctant to go back to soft colouring now. xDD I will definitely be more careful with it in the future!

Thank you very much for the comment and the suggestions <3

Mm, I agree. The more intense shading works better for some series but not others (though I think it works for some scenes in Tsubasa. Cloney and Kurogane spring to mind, though the effect might be a bit intense for, say, Sakura)

And hey, if you like it that's what matters! In any case, your icons are always stunning, so~ ♥ Keep up the good work. :3
