... WHY IS IT THAT YOU'RE ON MY FLIST AND YET I HAVE NEVER SEEN THESE BEFORE

I think that you are excellent at doing the textures/words/layers thing and so you should do it more. Like, the 1st one and the 4th one on the bottom look amazing, but I'd like to see words covering the space a little because I can see from your other icons that you're really good at doing that (unlike some people *cough*me*cough*) who're... really bad at using tons of textures/text). Also third one on the bottom would look better without a border, imo.

Like I said, though, I really love how you use textures and text. They make the icon unique and interesting. I love the cropping in the 2nd one on the bottom, and I love what you did with the Dark icon, flipping it upside-down and cropping it like that and all. It's imaginative and different and I like it. :D ♥

Ahahaha~ I think its because I don't talk about iconing a lot so not very many people know that I do! ^^; I think...all I do with textures is slap them on and if they look good, yay! It's really just mix and match for me until something clicks. Textures is hard for me too! D: I think textures are hard for most people in general. ^^;;;
