I personally love your coloring. It improved greatly over the year! I was never a fan of the SUPER bright color'd lineart.

I don't like the textures you used on the non-manga ones, but they are still nice!

( yay, Kerli, btw <3 )

+ Your coloring is really great--it's always nice and vibrant without being over-saturated.

- Sometimes, like with that Rei icon, the white spot thing you do seems a little too obvious, or kind of tacked on. It might work better if you made it more subtle.

[gravity_xx]

Thank you. Over saturation bothers me so I always try to avoid it :P

With the minus though that's a decision I made intentionally. On some icons I do make it less apparent but on others I make it stand out because that's the look I'm going for. If it looks bad then that's one thing but if I wanted it to be more subtle I would have made it that way in the first place?

Hopefully that makes sense and doesn't sound like defensive bullshit because I do want to know if this looks crappy or not.

[minilovely]

No no I get you, and sometimes it does enhance the icon when it's that stark. But other times it seems overpowering, or like it's just kind of...there, I guess? UM FOR EXAMPLE, I think it works really nicely in this icon, but in these two it feels more tacked on to me.

+ = You pick good, high quality pictures to icon.
- = Some look dull and blurry. The sharpen tool is your friend (just use a lesser strength so you don't gj overboard).

[battlelust]

+ YOUR CHOICE IN PICTURES. SERIOUSLY IT IS AWESOME
- Some of your icons aren't contrasted enough...? ANd some are a bit blurry.

+you don't take this too seriously, allows you more freedom and overall better quality
-watch that pixelation! (not just you)

W/E your icons are amazing crescent-wing. >:B Lol anyways but I really love how you make them so bright and colorful.

The thing I'd critic is that maybe tone down the white texture (or the overlayed texture/color) just a bit so we can see more of the glorious icon that you created! :D But like for number 5, 7 & 8 they look amazing-so maybe something like that. (: IDEK YOUR WORK IS WONDERFUL. OTL;;;
