Well, I don't really know how you expect me to comment when I am too busy being blown away by most of these. I mean, geez, I can multitask, but not when my brain is too busy short circuiting from awesome.

I mean...#6 and #7 are just. They are literally so awesome that I don't know what to do with myself. Like I was saying yesterday, I need your text skills stat because they are so inspiring and perfect, and #6 is a perfect example of why. I love the combination of fonts and colors, and I like how the fact that some of the text is hidden by the subject doesn't really take away from it. I also love how there isn't any conflict between text and subject. They are both there, they are both dynamic, but they work together, you know? And then #7 is just perfection. I love the flames, and her hair is so amazing. Which...how difficult was that to cut out? It looks like ti would have been difficult.

Also perfect? #10 for many of the same reasons as #7.

Reading the comments, I now know that you colored the whole last row from scratch yourself, and that's kind of mind blowing. They are so, so, so well done. Just...mad props for that.

Tl;dr This post is magical.

Oh wow, thank you so much! You're too kind. ♥

I'm so glad that you like the text in 6, since I was going for something a bit different. 7 actually wasn't too hard to cut out, because I resized the original scan to about 500px where it was still large enough for me to really get the details before I quick masked it out of the background. It just required a tiny bit more erasing once it was resized for the icon.

I'm glad that you like 10 too! I had to remake that icon a couple of times because I couldn't come up with a nice background for it that worked with the lightning, so eventually I settled on sky.

It's lovely to know that you like the manga colouring icons, since I've really been starting to practice more with those lately. :) Luckily doing them at the size of the original scan means that I can then crop out any mistakes in the final icons, like with the last one where I completely messed up when rebuilding the bottom of her hair. Hidden forever!
