Critique:Reason: The colors are overpowering on the bottom half, it's as if they couldn't decide whether to do a dark or light icon. It ruins what could've been a beautiful icon

haha, oh my, I thought it would only be "overpowering texture" comments^^" just to clarify: I didn't use anyone's tuts or brushes, only the 3 textures we were given + one of my own (which included the text, the pixel boxes under her chin and the slightly grainy effect which everyone complains about XD) thanks anyway :)
Something being over sharpened always bugs me, and her hair has been over sharpened! When it is over-sharpened, you can see the low-quality thing that .jpg images do. Also the font is a bad choice.
Reason.The bitmap/pixel font doesn't match. The background is brownish tan grey, and Namine is grey. That doesn't match, and the red spots makes it look worse. The brush just sits there and doesn't do anything at all, so it might as well not be there.
Oversharpened; trendy. Not fond of pixel fonts on icons either.
I like the decisive blue vs. red scheme. The texture adds to the icon and the text is well placed.
Holy crap. The cropping is amazing, no fuzzy white lines! Only problem is the text. The colours match the icon but the light blue doesn't and the text looks funny with the blue.
Reason. (Optional)The coloring is bright but kind of pale/faded, which looks good. Also, the contrast of bright blue and hot pink work well on this icon together, and wouldn't look good on another one because of the structure and textures on this icon.
It's Reno! And Rude, but this is an awesome icon! The colors are very nice and the textures were used lovely. :3
i saw the banner at school ( ekkkk! its so pretty and the colouring is perfect! ), but photobucket seems to hate my home computer ;_____; if its not too much trouble, could you upload it on tinypic or imageshack. thank you ^^;

The colours are too stark and the image a bit grainy.
Reason. The colours on this icon are way too bright. The bg colours stand out more than the character and its harsh on the eyes.
Good Comments:
Loving the shiny ♥
