These are... all awesome. The use of color, the contrast of light and dark, the arbitrary use of saturation...
16 - The difference between 15 and 16 is astounding because the simple grey tones of 15 do not prepare for the slash of sepia and crimson in 16. Very well colored.
17 - gorgeous, I love the line of glare which draws the eye to a specific portion of the icon, creating the illusion of more space, because of the terrific cropping and the grey background... I also like that the focus of the icon is in the bottom left, not the the center, as one would immediately assume.
19 - Again, the focus of the icon at the bottom. Beautiful. I love the little pinpoints of red against the murky blue and beige of the sky. Also, the black is very well merged (or rather, not merged) with the actual image of the icon.
22 - see above.
Anyway... I just thought that I'd stop in and say that I think that your icons are very powerful and very beautiful. That's all xD
Wow! Thank you so much. It's quite rare for someone to write a comment of this breadth and depth, and I really appreciate it. Especially since I did try to pay more attention to my colouring than I normally do (I hate using colour; I find it so frustrating!). :)
It does, of course, help that 300 is all about the visuals. ;D
