Oh gosh, I had forgotten I hadn't commented on this post either. *sigh*

Oh well, one belated flail comment coming right up!!!

THESE ARE FANTASTIC.

Just to start with, while I absolutely ADORE your use pastel coloring style, I am loving the more intense vibrant colors in a lot of these icons! #20 is pretty much THE BEST thing, wow. The lighting/contrast is just perfect so that she pops off the page, and the greens are so fresh and lush as well. I also love the touches of yellow and cyan the are still highlighted in her outfit/wings. All in all, just a super cute, eye catching icon! I remember staring at it awhile when I first looked at this post! #35 is also wicked cool. Are they from the same series by any chance? Anyway, I like the sense of action that you've emphasized with your texture use in this one. It makes for a very dynamic icon. The shades of cyan are also really gorgeous, and I like the little splotch of green in the bottom left; it's cute! The intense reds/oranges in #16 are also incredible! Your texture work really adds to that sense of fire. And the icon makes me feel like it would be hot if I reached out to touch so bravo with that one! #21 is also excellent. Your texture use is just always on point, and there's no exception here. You've also nailed those vibrant cyans again. Such a beautiful icon!!

And then there's 14, 18, and 32 which are my personal favorites that feature your usual delicate coloring and texture use. All three of them are GORGEOUS. #14 is my favorite, I think, because you've just really created this sort of angelic light that is so soft but not blurred or anything. It's really lovely. But I also approve wholeheartedly of the circles in #32, and I also love that you've, just like in #35, used textures to emphasize the motion of the character.

Also: 2, 13, and 25. Why? BECAUSE TEXT, THAT'S WHY. Your use of text is my favorite. Like...probably my #1 in terms of text inspiration. All your text icons are just so perfectly composed with all the right font and colors and ugh. Your talent, seriously. Anyway, these three are just exceptional. #2, in particular, is just amazing because of how much text you've used without making things seem too cluttered. So pretty!!

I am so angry with your internet for holding these beauties hostage. Bad internet, bad.
