Is EVERYTHING HERE a legitimate response to the question, which are my favorites?

Oh hon, this is everything my Buffy-loving heart could possible desire! Where do I even begin with the great? The range of techniques here and the mastery of each one is astonishing. THis is a set to cherish. Cold as Ice, Partial face (GREAT crop!) Hope, Primary colors (darker than I would normally like but it just absolutely works here), Joy, Two, Cat1 Cat2 makes me scream with delight because of the vintage coloring, AC 4 and 5 (off center tight crops and bright eye color are my jam), and AC 4-5.

BTW - the odd thing is that the first icon in each row looks a bigger size to the rest in each row but if I right click, the icons come up from their original source and look fine. Does it look that way to you too?

Honeyyyy than YOU SO MUCH for the lovely words! They make me so happy :) :) And I'm delighted you like my icons <3

I agree about Primary Colors. It's still hard for me to make my icons darker but I've seen that sometimes my icons can be too light so I'm working on the shadows :)

Oh yeah, it looks awful but it's probably this layout that makes it look like that??? Have no idea why.

And thanks again for the compliments <3

I should also mention Behind - which I appreciate now more than I did last night, and a key mark of a strong icon (and set) for me is that I want to look at it again and again, and I find new things each time - there's a lot of "there there" in this set.

(This is probably going to sound weird, but looking at this set and spikesredqueen's, I'm suddenly ok with having dropped out this round. i know I couldn't have done what I've seen so far, and that's ok, I get to just sit back and enjoy this time around!)

It's still hard for me to make my icons darker but I've seen that sometimes my icons can be too light so I'm working on the shadows :)You've succeeded here, I think. Visual legibility is a thing with me (esp with bifocals) but you've got some lovely deep blacks with no pixelation within the shadows (i'm struggling with that too ( ... )

I think you could have done it just fine. You've improved so much in so little time and besides, everyone has their own style and that's great :)

The text in the icon says just that! Good catch!

Ahahahah thank you very much!! That makes me happy!
