ARTIST'S CHOICE

• I chose Naya Rivera for the Casting Call icon because Naya could bring the bamf part of Malia alive and also give her great emotional depth based on her playing Santana on Glee.


• I tried to really push myself this round and got help from some tutorials I've recently looked at.


• Any constructive criticism is great and please credit if you've used one of my icons and someone asked where you got it from.

the you tried one is hilarious

[roseemrys.livejournal.com]

Thanks! Yeah, I thought about the you tried star as soon as I remembered the Malia car scene. I tried using the original star but it wasn't clear enough so I made one, lol.

I like the star icon and the coloring/light effect at AC 2 is amazing.

[roseemrys.livejournal.com]

Thank you! I ended up using like 4 different light textures on AC 2 but I like how not busy it is.

[havers.livejournal.com]

just perfect mix

Pretty! Malia is one of my all-time favorite characters. My favorite one is pink, but they're all really lovely. <3

[roseemrys.livejournal.com]

I love Malia, too! I wasn't sure about her at first, but she's grown on me a lot. Thank you for the compliment!

Fantastic icons! I really love the crops :D
My very favourite creations are earth toned, pink (lovely colours!), sad, sound effect, square, star, ac #4 & #5!

[roseemrys.livejournal.com]

Thanks!!! Those are my favs, too!

[patriciatepes.livejournal.com]

These are awesome! I loved Sad, Square, and AC 3!

[roseemrys.livejournal.com]

Thanks! I'm glad you like Sad because I have trouble with simple monochrome and black & white icons.

I love Malia! Great batch! My favorites are Triangle (the complementary shades of gray are lovely, and her cut-out perfect--the alternate was equally nice), Full Body Behind (that was such a cool scene for you to choose), and Embarrassed (loved her expression and the texture you used here).

[roseemrys.livejournal.com]

Thanks for the kind words! :)

I can see why you chose the three teasers you did, they're wonderful, but I also really like Embarrassed (I'm a sucker for those sorts of grunge effects but I rarely see them well-used as they are here), pink, triangle (and it's alt) and AC1. And I'm in awe of the clarity of all of these.

I haven't watched teen wolf so I know nothing about the character btw but I had to take a peek based on the teasers at the comm. Excellent work!

FYI - I'm working on your banner right now from the last round for your Rose icon, congratulations! I hope you'll like.

[roseemrys.livejournal.com]

Thank you! And the banner was fab!

[red-satin-doll.livejournal.com]

You are VERY welcome, it was really my pleasure! I posted the banner and talked about it on my journal (http://red-satin-doll.livejournal.com/92092.html) btw - your icon really did inspire the look of it and I'm thrilled with how it came out.

Love the crop and cap choice for full body behind and I really like your coloring on pink. Nice work!

[roseemrys.livejournal.com]

Thanks! For some reason I'm just really into pink right now (especially the paler pinks) so that was really fun to make.

Good job! It's absolutely visible that you pushed yourself. You go!

My absolute favorite is Curly Text, but I also like AC #1, Sad, Pink and Earth Toned.

Since you asked for constructive criticism, here's one idea of something you can try: I think some of your icons look a little busy - like Heart and Symbol. Maybe try experimenting with Negative Space or subdued coloring when you get the impression that the icon looks too busy, that will help make it look calmer. Depends on the effect you're going for, too, of course.

[roseemrys.livejournal.com]

Thanks for critiquing me, it helps getting other people's views on the icons. I tend to have trouble with icons that have multiple sections and/or textures so I sort of just messed around with those icons. Maybe I should do that fashion thing where before you leave the door you should take off one accessory and instead of an accessory, it's one aspect of the icon. :-)

[bad-numbers.livejournal.com]

what an amazing set! and this character/actress is so beautiful it's hard to make a bad icon though :) faves are curly text, embarrassed (wow, my fave icon - can I ask where you got that grunge/frame texture? it's AMAZING), full body behind, star and ac 2 & 5, xo.

[roseemrys.livejournal.com]

Thanks! I got the texture from this set. This person has 6 or so more icon texture sets that are so amazing if you want to look through their DA gallery.

[hermionesparkle.livejournal.com]

Nice set. I really like pink, sad, star (haha I love the text), & triangle.
