Notes:

• For the crossover OTP icon, I chose Hermione from the Harry Potter films.  I feel like they both have this passion for learning and plus Hermione would be really interested in how life was back then for him.


• For the Cat #4 icon, I wanted to use this cap and it wasn't until I messed around with coloring that I realized how I wanted this icon to look.  This icon started from Merlin being emotional that Gaius was being framed for having magic and leaving suddenly without him and turned into Merlin being emotional about Arthur being gone but still in his memories.

I really love outer space and relaxed! ^o^ the colors on Cat 3 are super pretty as well :)

Thank you!

Hermione and Merlin...they would be quite the epic pair. And I love your whole Category line! These are great :D

Right?! Something about Hermione and Merlin makes sense. Thanks!

Very nice icons.
I liked most flames, joyful, orange, cat 4 and ac 5.
Good job :)

Thanks, your comments make me very joyful! (lol)

Totally see that OTP... and I truly loved the hands icon. Just great!

[roseemrys.livejournal.com]

I'm glad you like the Hands one, I wasn't sure it focused enough on the hand. Thanks for the comments!

Cute icons! I really like monochrome, cat 4 and 5 and ac 2 and especially ac 5, it has a really great dreamy, mystical quality.

[roseemrys.livejournal.com]

Thanks, and the screencap for AC 5 turned out amazing for coloring; it felt so effortless.

Your cropping in all of those is perfect! I really like the Crossover idea (and execution), and both negative space icons are great, too.

Really good set overall!

[roseemrys.livejournal.com]

I've been trying to do different crops on my icons so thanks for pointing that out!

Monochrome is fantastic! Love the colour + angling. Your Category set looks so lovely as well, great job!

[roseemrys.livejournal.com]

I definitely struggled with Monochrome so I'm glad it turned out good. Thanks!!

Ahhh, man, I really miss this show! I really like your crop on cat. 3, coloring on pale and crop on crossover OTP. Nice work!

[roseemrys.livejournal.com]

I miss it, too! I really think there should be a movie post the finale made but the main actors are so far-flung now it might be difficult to make. Thanks for the nice comments!!!

Lovely coloring and contrast use here! ♥ I loved this show! OTP is amazing, also hands, monochrome, plants, cat 3&4, ac 5 =)

So many great icons here! First of all, I love the entire look of Flames - the contrast is perfect, the character stands out really well against the darkness, and I love how the crop puts Merlin and the flame on the two sides. I really like the vibrant distinctive colorings in Plants and Relaxed, and Monochrome has a really nice atmosphere, fitting the dramatic shot in the cap. There's also something eye-catching about Pale, I dig the unusual crop and the sharpness. Also your choice for crossover OTP is great and makes so much sense the way you described it :)

The extreme negative space on cat3 is wonderful, as is the bright coloring! ac1 is another one with a really cool interesting crop, and I also like everything about ac5.

Fantastic work! :)

[olivefox.livejournal.com]

Nice! Relaxed, cat3, and ac5 are my favorites :)

[bad-numbers.livejournal.com]

i love love LOVE your crossover icon! what a perfect choice and the caps look as though they're actually in the same scene looking at each other :) other faves are pale, relaxed and ac 1, xo.
