Oh these are super pretty. 5 is incredibly soft, but also gorgeously vibrant, I think it's my fauvorite right now.
Some of my other favorites are 6 (beautiful lighting, and you managed to bring attention to the single perfect tear), 13 (so mysterious), 14 (I love how you isolated red cristal, and mixed with blue it looks like something from dark fantasy quest) and 17 (this one is truly divine, the shapes are so perfect that you can see every detail of the box and the doll even though the icon itself is pretty dark).
How did you make 17 so clean? In my experience dark caps always show grains if you try to lighten them this much.
Ah thank you for this amazing comment, dearie! :) I definitely had a lot of fun playing with smoothing #17 up.
It was acting up 'coz of dark colors, and I almost given up on the idea, but then I just figured out that it doesn't have to stick with it's original color (which was yellow-ish). So I made it blue and used gaussian blur (on everything except hands and objects) and then I sharpened it and applied topaz and lighting. Then I sharpened it again and here we are :)
That sounds like a tricky process. Thank you for explanation. I'm so used to see you working with Topaz that I often forget about other filters xD Now it all makes sense.
