This is a placeholder comment for when I come back to flail like crazy tomorrow! Because I am super happy about ALL OF THESE THINGS. But sleep is a'calling!

So more detail tomorrow, but right now just know that EVERYTHING IS SUPER PRETTY AND YOU ARE THE BEST!! <33

ETA:

OKAY. COMMENT TIME.

Firstly, this was so much fun! It was good to get out of my Once iconning space and into another for awhile, so thank you for that. And just...thank you for being so patient with me. It cannot have been easy waiting around for weeks while I got my act together. Hopefully we can do something like this again, but...with less of me being terrible and more on time iconning fun! \o/

Now onto your icons which are GORGEOUS. Seriously, you did such a stupendous job with everything, and I am so looking forward to more icons from this show made by you. This is, like, the greatest ever icon appetizer.

I am so enamored of your 'faceless' icon! It's such pretty and elegant, and I love the flow of it all. The monochrome coloring absolutely works here, and the painty texture splashes add this great sense of movement without anything becoming too cluttered. I think Amy would totally approve of this composition, and I know I do! Haha! I also love your 'blue'; the coloring is beyond stunning! The light work is beautiful as well.

Your second and third icons are super pretty too! I love the text work in both of them a great deal. The different fonts, colors, and the way you've used rotation in the one of Gina is absolutely spectacular and super fun! I think you've really captured Gina's personality with the composition, for sure! And the one of Amy is really interesting. It took me a bit to figure out the quote because it has been so long since I've seen the pilot, but once I did, I really liked how you had cut off bits of the text. After all, her follow up is about how the makeup look was an STD, and I just feel like "decaying" text, if you will, is really appropriate. XD I also love love love the pastel coloring here! I wish I could pull that off! It's so freaking pretty!

And that brings me to my two absolute favorites from your set: #14 and #15. I was kind of surprised to like a Boyle icon as much as I like your 'quote' one because I don't like Boyle that much. But I LOVE this icon! It's so clever and fun! The font works perfectly. I love the placement of the text. I like the alternate without the targets, but I love the original version with the targets just as well! And the coloring is super great, of course! I love the deeper purple paired with golden yellow; it really pops! And then the 'negative space' one...I honestly couldn't stop staring at it while I was putting together the coding the other night. It's just...WOW. It's really spectacular. It's so simple, but it's...so elegant and well done and everything. I love everything about it!

So, again, thank you for asking me to battle! I was and still am super honored, and your results are AMAZING. <3

Thank you tons and tons <33

Let me know if you ever want to do another battle! This fandom or something else. :)

I already left a comment at absolutelybatty's post and told her that both your sets look absolutely stunning and the creativity of this batch is amazing. :)

I really like the creativity and composition and coloring in #3 - it's such a great icon and the text works so well for it. #7, #8 and #9 are gorgeous, too. I love your use of text and vibrant colors and #9 is just the prettiest thing ever. Also, I really like what you did with negative space, quote (great text on both), blue, faceless and gun (!!! - this means AWESOME!). :D

[apologizeg]

Thank you so much <3

omgoodness!! so many lovelies!! I've been wanting a B99 icon to use and now I have one! Too many!! Which one to pick!!??!!



And I will of course credit.

[apologizeg]

Thank you, I'm really glad you like!

[nightbulbs]

Copy-pasting from absolutelybatty's post because I'm lazy:
YOU GUYS. THIS IS MAGIC. Or I could call it Christmas because look at all the quality icons to choose from?! First, it's B99 and second, you guys are geniuses. Win!

Favourites from you...so many! I can't believe how clean yet colourful these are, with fabulous compositions! I adore 2, the pastel colouring is so pretty, and the shaped text that's slightly erased is elegant and fun. 9 is so beautiful, I love the cap but I love what you did with it even more, the vintage colours and flowers, wow! Negative Space is my favourite from your set, the colouring on Terry is the most perfect thing!! And the text adds that little something that makes it a great icon. Quote is hilarious, love the colour scheme and composition, and lovely lighting too :) Speaking of light, Blue is so eye-catching, bold and subtle at the same time! Faceless is lovely and elegant, which fits Amy so well, and I also love Gun, the contrast between Amy looking so serious and the dark colouring, and the pink paint splash is magical!

Now I need to decide what to save, and I'll probably save everything! :)

[apologizeg]

Thank you so so so much ♥♥

[setentpet.livejournal.com]

Gorgeous! I have saved all the icons. =)

I have been waiting to find a great B99 post.

[apologizeg]

THIS BATTLE IS FLAWLESS! What an amazing thing to have appear on my friends list!

Your icons are insanely beautiful. You + B99 is such a great combination, so hopefully there will be more icons from you in the future from this fabulously flawless show.

Faves are: 1, which has killed me since I first saw this post. THE COLOURS ARE PERFECTION. They are so soft and subtle and gorgeous. The lighting is muted and matte and divine as well. Just, what a gloriously perfect icon. 14 is all kinds of stunning. LOVE the use of space so very much, and the text placement is beyond amazing. I adore the colours especially, they are strong but not too strong, and it's just a gorgeous combination. 20 is amazing. The colours are beautiful, and the texture work is simply incredible. I especially love the addition of painted textures, how very clever! And 21 is probably my favourite, the colour combination is killing me, and I love the more muted, pastel tones you've used. Fantastic use of background as well.

Seriously stunning stuff!

[apologizeg]

Thank you so so much for this fantastic comment ♥♥

said this in samantha's post but THIS IS THE MOST PERFECT BATTLE THEME
you made so many great icons! and for a show i love sooo much ;___;
snagging #21!

[apologizeg]

Thank you very much :)

[neonspider]

Like I already said at batty's post, this battle is freaking amazing!! So many incredible icons from both of you :)

It's hard to choose favorites but I'll try. 2 is definitely one of them - that muted, matte, vintagey coloring is to die for *__* And I love the text and how it sort of fades around the edges, very unusual and looks super cool!
The vibrant glow and text magic and lightish contrast in 3 look gorgeous and fit the cap so well.

WOW at the entire row 7-9; the coloring in each of them is particularly fantastic, I can't decide which I like more, the vibrancy of 7&8 or the gorgeous vintage color scheme in 9! Also the text in 7&8 looks stunning, I especially love the font and arrangement in 8, as well as the gorgeous texture work on the background in 9.

14 is another one with really cool text, I love how elegant it looks with the script font and how well it aligns with the subject. And the vibrant yellow/cyan combination always works for me!
I also really love the lighting and composition in 15, and the super gorgeous combination of light pink/muted purple in 21.

Amazing work from both of you!! ♥
