ANIMANGA BATTLE - THE REVEAL

[aeriiths.livejournal.com]

WE DID IT YOU GUYS. WE FINALLY GOT THERE. Here are the results of our animanga battle! Man, once the icons started to roll in I got really excited about making this post, but that was pretty much dampened when I started trying to code it. Sorry it's not beautifully laid out, but I'm sure the icons will make up for it!

I'VE PROBABLY MADE A BUNCH OF MISTAKES SO LET ME KNOW IN THE COMMENTS.

Well I have nothing else to say so uh. Check out these pretties and hover for the fandom!

1. The balance of the composition and typography is lovely. Reds are so hard to work with, especially when there's red text, but you did a beautiful job keeping things clean.
2. I'm super picky about b&w, so usually b&w icons aren't my faves, but you've done an amazing job with not only the lighting, but also drawing the eye in with those textures :3
3. Blue bias or not... I am in love with everything about this... the colors, that light texture coming down the middle is such a wonderful touch that ties everything together... the movement with the typography... the use of textures without going too gritty... I could go on and on XD

adriftingsea

1. WOW.
2. The fun way you incorporated numbers is so pretty, and yet the focus is still totally on the character, which can be hard, so great job <3
3. I love the depth you got from the icon as a whole. The floral background is really used to its best advantage without taking over the whole icon, and the composition with the character in the center is super cute <3
1. Coming back to talk properly. WOW. The use of that texture looks so amazing on the off-white background. The coloration is flawless, the pop of gold near the top keeps it from getting too dark... plus it has a bit of an autumn vibe to it, which totally works. The way the character bleeds into the texture a little bit is such a cool effect, and the way you colored the typography is a nice touch because it's visible without interrupting the flow of the icon. In other words... I seriously love this icon.

1. This icon is pretty much flawless. Your use of textures here is really amazing, I'm totally drawn into the icon the more I look~ And keeping the palette limited to just two colors was so smart because the focus is clear and clean.
2. The composition is fearless and beautiful! I just love the layered effect of the different elements :3
3. The mild use of sepia tone on the characters is such a cool way of drawing the eye in, and allowing them to stand out against such a detailed background. The overall icon has a "nostalgia" vibe to it, which is automatically very endearing.

dashberlin

1. Wow, that typography looks so cool! I'm also loving the lighting here, it's so dramatic~
2. I pretty much just love it all. The coloring is lovely, the use of textures is right on, the composition is really cool, and the typography looks so elegant with just the first letters in the required font <3
3. You are a genius... I hate myself, you made this theme look so easy all of a sudden.

deternot

1. The gentle use of lighting is an absolutely lovely touch, paired with the sepia-gold coloring... you've captured "angelic" right there in that icon... I LOVE it.
2. The colors are amazing... so vivid and deep, and the composition has such great flow the way you've allowed everything to spread across your little 100 pxl canvas. :3
3. If I haven't told you yet already, I am in love with your use of sepia/natural colors. This is just another masterpiece, the way you used the provided texture is a great way of adding depth, and yet you've kept a lightness that keeps the icon as a whole very elegant and ladylike <3
