Top 10 bestof_icons 2014!

[starkwars.livejournal.com]

I decided to post my top 10 icons each year (well as long as the community is around) so here they are again!

Thank you all who voted! ♥






Soo for #1, if you've read my comments at icontalking, you'll know I'm not really pleased that it won but oh well~ I literally did not see it coming at all when the voting got pretty far along. I'm still mostly like 'wut'. LOL I also feel that it shouldn't have won because I literally half assed my way through it as I was on a deadline. IT'S A LIE I'M SORRY ヽ(*´Д｀*)ﾉ

EDITED TO ADD; DISCLAIMER: I have 0 hard feelings if you voted for this!! Please don't feel guilty if you did, it wasn't my intention to make anyone feel as such!

As for everything else, these are pretty much what I expected to see! ha
#2 - I really mastered blue in this particular icon and shows when I started to use the noise filter in everything.
I'm sort of ignoring #3 because that cap is in my top 10 of 'worst to color ever' and will not attempt to ever again. (ノಠ益ಠ)ノ彡┻━┻
#4 - This is one of those times where experimenting turned out really well.
#5 - I feel like I got 'how to do muted coloring' down really well this year. & cutting out things properly. :P
#6 - USE ALL THE BRIGHT COLORS~*
#7 - If I were to have one kind of icon that is 'my thing' it'd be collage work like this. This is a fluke. I cannot for the life of me replicate anything similar to this. *infinite tears* (;*△*;)
#8 - I've come to the conclusion that I have made an obscene amount of blue icons; it's pretty ridiculous.
#9 - I should just quit while I'm ahead clearly. I'm not topping this, ever.
#10 - ALLISON（ ＴДＴ） There really isn't much to say about this, I just wanted to use that texture at the time. ha

Last year I had hoped to further my progress in complexity and texture use. I think I did pretty well on that front!

Have to say I'm one of the guilty ones for voting for that icon - I really love the muted colours and the texture use! I think my favourite of your from this is the Cersei one though - again I love the texture use, but there's something about the way her hair stands out that is just so transfixing!

Still backing #1 for all the reasons I have mentioned previously and more. Beauty is definitely in the eye of the beholder here! Though I definitely have a lot of love for #2 as well, it's such a gorgeously done icon.

Last year I had hoped to further my progress in complexity and texture use. I think I did pretty well on that front!
I think you did as well, and I think the icons that are here also show that the majority of people do too! Can't wait to see where 2015 takes your icon ♥
