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
