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 ♥
