Kudos to Jess, alice-trip, and Hannah on this lovely battle!

Faves are:

Jess - 17 just has such a gorgeous icy blue mixed with the yellow and slight green going on all around. The blue/yellow combo in 31 is just fantastic. My fave is 33 which catches my eye so match with the uber bright pink. I love the blurring arund the frog. That's very characteristic of your work!

alice-trip - The B/W in 7 somehow highlights Maleficent's villainy even more. Nice contrast, too! Who knew you could close crop a cartoon horse and make it look awesome? 23 is very nice! 39 is my fave cuz of the bright pink and the perfect text placement!

Hannah - 12 is about as scary as is gets. You don't really need anything more than Mal's floating to scare someone, right? 12 has great text and lovely coloring! 29 also has fantastic text, and I adore the entire orange composition! I dig the muted coloring of 43 and the flipped image!

Thanks so much Kim! I had lots of fun making those icons, especially 17 and 31. I think I have a new favourite fandom to play in, haha.

Great icons, Team Yellow!

Some favorites from each of you:

raiindust: #02, Love the composition and the beautiful blues in this icon. #32, The colors and cropping of this icon are lovely. #35, Love the use of black and white and negative space.

alice_trip: #23, The crop of this icon is great, as is the coloring. #36, love the colors you've added to Danny, they make her look (extra) beautiful. #38, The text is awesome and I love the colors and the texture in the background.

an_ardent_rain: #12, Love the center crop and the background color you chose. #29, Love where the picture has been cropped, how the texture at the bottom compliments it and the awesome text use. #42, The repeated, flipped image is great and the whole icon works really well with the two solid colors in the background.

This is such a great battle! I really love the pictures and all of you made amazing icons!

raiindust: I really love the softness in your icons. You cropped all of them really good, and I also really like your colourings. My favourite is #2.

alice_trip: Maybe it's just me, but is seems like you've changed your way of colouring a bit from the first 5 icons to the other 10. I really like that! Your cops are great and I like that your icons are all kind of darktoned. My favourite of your set is #23 of the horse.

an_ardent_rain: I think of the 3 of you, you've been most creative with composition. I always love texticons, especially with that font used, it's so cool! I also like your use of textures, especially the one in icon #13. I think my two faves of your set are #29 & 30 :)

To mm3butterfly: What font did you use in the teambanner? It looks fantastic!

Thanks so much! #2 was a favourite of mine (I have loved Maleficent forever) so I'm super glad everyone seems to enjoy the icon!

What a fun battle this is, congratulations, team Yellow!

My favourites:

raiindust: 05 (*right click save*), 31 (the almost unnatural colour of her hair works really well here, to me it enhances her mythical quality), 32 (love that crop!).

alice_trip: 22 (fabulous use of negative space with those beautiful greens), 23 (the crop is brilliant as are the colours you managed to bring out) and 38 (the intense colours are fabulous).

an_ardent_rain: 13 (I love the continued green-pink, the icon is both adorable and hilarious), 28 (his expression is even more hilarious in triplicate!) and 43 (what a fun composition! Plus the colours work really well together).

THANK YOU SO MUCH!! NGL I'm fairly sure the battle was revealed just after we had the conversation and the cap may have been included because of this!

HA! In which case I'd feel pretty smug. ;)
