i've always adored your mastery of the use of text and your coloring, manga or not, is really nice. also? om nom @ your cropping.

[zombieflu]

aw thx ;A;♥
The fourth icon, I used a typo texture so I take no credit in such a neat text >:
but thank you so much bb♥

[unasuvas]

You have the BEST cropping in your icons...
And your use of text & texture is perfect; not too cluttered or anything.

Plus, I'm a big fan of your manga coloring. 8D

i have always envied your skill with coloring manga, it is seriously always so lovely.

[radarsparks]

these are all so bright and colorful. *-* (exceptions being the third, eighth, and tenth icon but they seem to be muted on purpose, so!). i really love how you handle manga coloring, especially in numbers five and six.

I always always really really like your manga coloring. Everything just blends so smoothly. Super duper jealous. This isn't much of a crits but, yeahh... KEEP ON DOING WHAT YOU'VE BEEN DOING WITH MANGA ICONS. 8)b

Your icons all have really nice coloring and cropping. *__* Simple, but beautiful.

Your coloring is just... consistently perfect. You could probably stand to try some more unusual crops, but honestly, your icons are fine the way they are~

I'VE SAID THIS BEFORE BUT OHMGSH YOUR COLORING IS AWESOME, YOU MANGA COLORING AND THE COLOR ADJUSTMENT LAYERS ADD SO MUCH BRIGHTNESS AND AWESOMENESS♥

You use such vibrant, gorgeous coloring! You really bring those CLAMP images to life, and the cropping is well-done, too. Nothing bad I can say, haha. ;_;

[radarsparks]

man, you've improved so much from the last icon concrit meme(and i didn't even have much to concrit back then...). no one wields light textures(and even just textures in general) like you do. you're really good at bringing out the base colors in an icon but not letting them take over the icon completely. very clean and clear coloring(number nine is the only one i see here that seems especially muted) and your manga coloring is awesome. ♥_♥

[lovely_zombie]

Your icons are so beautiful and soft bb~! I feel all warm and happy browsing through them. Your use of colour is nothing short of gorgeous and I love the use of textures. ♥

[powercorrupts]

Oh god I can't resist these.

Man, you really have that red coloring down pat. The Terra and Kotori icons are beautiful. I think that the first few icons are a little on the dark side, but that's just a personal nitpick. I love your use of textures and typography and your cropping is just wonderful, as well. ♥

[exhero]

I always loved your use of textures. &hearts And I love the red coloring to your samples up above. **

I love your style because it is so very you. I can look at an icon and go "oh hay Kai made that", and they're so very sexy. And fuck anyone who tries to usurp that colouring style from you :'D because you're still the best.

And really who else icons Hayden Christensen as Anakin...
