This is such a lovely entry! There are some icons here that really stray from your norm, but at the same time there's still that smooth, clean, contained kind of elegance that's present in all your icon posts. I also enjoyed reading about your opinions and process for each icon. It's always fun to get some insight into what each maker thinks of their own work.
The composition in 1 is truly phenomenal, and I love that constellation texture that really pops from the rest of the icon. I remember seeing 4 at anon_icon and loving it, and that hasn't changed one bit. It's got that textured vintage feel and I really like how Amy melts into that brush stroke. Wonderful brush work and negative space in 9. The composition and color contrast in 14 is so nice, and the text adds a nice touch as well. I can't believe how amazing the coloring of 15 looks after seeing the ultra blue original cap! You really kicked that cap's butt. I totally would've just given in to the blue, or made it another monochromatic color. I'm a big fan of the softness, composition

My goodness, thank you so much for this wonderful comment! I am just speechless from your incredibly kind words! I honestly appreciate so, so much that you took the time <3 THANK YOU!
first of all congratulations on your 100th icon post. that's awesomesauce *throws* confetti*
oh my i am in awe. first of all amy pond. when i read you are taking it for the challenge i was really excited. and seeing them now i am even more. perfect colors and crops. i totally agree with you about the popular crop thing, this challenge was made of win. i love what you did on #3, the color combinations are just perfect and loving the lights. #5 is one of my absoloute favorites. everything is perfect about this icon. i think #8 was the icon i looked at the most because it looks so different from the original but in a very good way, how you made it that dark and soft looking, it's just very lovely. #15 is just so damn cute. :') and #17, stunning. your style and awesomeness + amy pond icons = more please. :D
