Date: 2010-10-17 10:18 am (UTC)First of all - thank you for... well, everything! Beginning with agreeing to an icon battle, choosing fantastic caps, posting the results in your journal and generally being very kind to me.
The halo userhead is from me :) You totally deserve it and Castiel approves.
Now to the icons... They're all great (I didn't expect otherwise). My favourite icons of yours are: 14 (perfect everything), 15 (best coloring of all of them, great choice of font), 24 (I love font & text! I think this icon and my version of it are great example of our colouring differences - my icons are more pink and yours are more yellow. When I made Crowley icon I was quite happy with my coloring and when I saw yours... my jaw fell on the floor ;)).
I had most problems with 18 - it was very dark and it didn't look good when I tried to lighten it up. I don't know how you managed to make it so bright and without any grainy spots. For me - it seemed impossible.
21 was also hard. I hate to icon sad faces/moments especially when I know someone in the cap is dying. Your icon has lots of emotions in it - I love it.
I didn't know what to do with 25 either. Especially I hated the Impala in the back. I don't know why, but it (she?) looks too white on any icons I make (see 6 too). It's probably because of sunlight but it looks a bit weird to me.
I'm still laughing at 6 - Dean's facial expression. And Sam's giant jaw :D. Sorry for choosing this screencap - I seriously thought it would be good for "negative space", not close crops ;).

Date: 2010-10-17 12:00 pm (UTC)obsessioninterests.While you're liking my entries, I loving yours! I noticed, too, that my icons have more yellow. I like both colorings. Mine tend to the yellow because of my love for warm colors. I think your coloring lends itself especially well to ethereal icons like 7. I like the delicate look you got for Lilith and her nearly ghostly hair is particularly well done.
OOOH! I see that you just posted in your graphics LJ. I'm going to give my feedback on your icons there so that it's part of your journal.
18 - I was hating myself for choosing that cap. I got the lighting through multiple layers of curves and levels. You might have struggled with the lighting but I LOVE what you did with that cap. More on that at your journal. :)
21 - I was actually tearing up working on that cap. I loved Jo and Eleen so much; that scene tears my heart out every.single.time.
25 - The light on the Impala was off. I kept trying to darken the blacks to bring her out before I had to accept that it didn't have any blacks.
24 - Whereas I was admiring YOUR coloring & lighting! I think half the time the pleasure is in seeing what someone else's creativity comes up with.
6 - No apologies! I inflicted you with #21. It WAS a tough cap for me. It's no accident that I ended up with a boring, b/w simple crop. I started up trying to add negative space but I never came up with anything I liked. *shakes head* It's worth the challenge, though. I like being forced out of comfort zone, no matter how much I whine. ;-)

Supernatural caps are so difficult and you make them look easy.
Awesome!
