These are just lovely. I've yakked about #31 at length, but just have to add that the satiny sheen on the skin and the way that sheen is reflected in the background texture is stunning. The soft, perfectly blended edges are a point of astonished admiration for me as well. Also love 6 - awesome work on the smoothing and coloring; love how many colors, including reds and turquoises, you get into the skin tones - and 9, 11, 12, 19, 36, 37, 43, 49, 66, 77, 79, 80. So many - I love them all! I particularly like the bw style you're exploring here (11, 51, 52, etc) - very stark and intense; the high contrast figures against the quietly modulated bgs are understated but dramatic; they pack a lot of tension - I can't stop looking at them.

Oh man, #31 is a total accident. I played and played and played and played with that. I couldn't re-create that if my life depended on it but I SO wanted to use that Janet cap. She's so pretty and she's so *human* in that moment.

Those skin tones are part of my current lack of icon-fu. I just can't decide if I like them. They seem so artificial to my eye but I can't make them look "natural" to me. I think in a page of them, they look normalized but by themselves they look a bit wonky to me. But it could be I'm just out of the groove. *shrug*

I'm pleased with the b/w icons. You've pegged it that I'm exploring it. I like the drama of the b/w and contrast. I've been learning how to use the levels adjustment to perfect b/w (to my eye) and I love what it does for the character. It isolates him without looking plain. It's minimalist without straying into boring.

I have to add that #31 is one of my absolute favorites, for all the reasons you say here. Because of the moment - she allows herself for that second to be frustrated at herself and exhausted, and it's one of my all-time favorite Janet scenes - and because of how well you managed to portray that. A very beautiful icon. :D
