These are very cool. I like the "cut-off" aesthetic of your designs - they engage the imagination. I find 2-4 particularly intriguing, in a sweet/ comfy/ paternal sort of way. Thanks for sharing!

excellent cropping.
Experimentation is always fun!

The blending of images in #40 is haunting, it doesn't grab you the first time but on reflection is sucks you in. Very nice. I can't say which coordinating color works better (7 or 8) because both set off the image nicely. I also adore 35 - I have a soft spot for negative space icons.

....and comparing some of your alterations (because... well, you ASKED) lol :

2, 3 & 4 - I love the understated coloring of the first 2, sometimes I feel that kind of coloring looks better on an icon with more negative space than on a closer crop - but that's a personal thing and not really an artistic kind of opinion.

I think 22 has a bit more definition than 23, the blue makes the blood stand out, making it a more dramatic icon

I prefer 27 to 28, the lighting effect highlights Rush's face a bit better and he seems a little 2-dimensional in 28 when compared to 27.

:D

Thanks for sharing with us, I love your icons, especially that they are so warm filtered and that you left us blank spaces to write to :) Not many of the icon makers think of that. I greatly love the ones with Robert in sunglasses, he is just so cute :) Thank you again. xxxx

[quiet_elle]

i do like people feeling and being able to take my work away and alter so its perfect for them :)

I love those sunglasses :D

I need way more SGU icons, so I took a bunch. Will credit, of course, when used.

Also, between your fics and your icons I've decided you are awesome and I need you on my f-list. ;)
