Farscape_20in20 (one of the most iconic things about Farscape to me personally is the relationship between Scorpius and Braca :D and since iconic can also mean something done in a conventional method, I did this with a coloring really conventional to my own icons.)

These are beautiful!

Crowded is really interesting (in a good way!) and I love the no contrast .. Yellow is really pretty and I love your AC set! Particularly 3 and 4. :)

Thank you very much! :)

one of the most iconic things about Farscape to me personally is the relationship between Scorpius and Braca :D
Yes, omg, yes. I could write a novel on why this is so true.

Lovely icons. I am, of course, partial to those with Braca. In some ways, he's a difficult character to icon because he spends most of the series standing up straight with his hands behind his back; there's not as many dynamic poses for him as there are for other characters. I like how you used textures to bring about dynamism in his icons.

I also really like your Faith icons for iconquest.

I love the Buffy and Narnia icons.

[thyla87.livejournal.com]

I know, right. It is the reason why I haven't chosen Braca for a characer round yet. But maybe I will try him next because he is my favorite character and there isn't enough Braca! :D But I just feared to use him because he has almost always the same expression. :D

Omg, sooooo many great icons to comment on!

theiconquest:

I really love 1, 4 and 5 from the Hero icons; the coloring and lighting on 1 are wonderful and the texture use in the Faith one looks lovely (as does she ♥).

From the Wizard set the definite standout to me is 4, the texture use is stunning and I love the composition too and how you combined color with black and white. The colored panel is amazingly colored too, very soft and peachy. 1 and 3 are lovely too.

The text ones are all pretty awesome but 2, 3 and 5 would be my favorites, and the simple ones are really pretty too, especilly 2.

Farscape20in20:

I love how the blurring is used in Blur, and No Contrast is very soft and pretty. Close and Far looks amazing, I adore the blending and texture use, and Symmetry is a very well made simple icon, the contrast is spot on. Yellow looks lovely with the vibrancy and texture use and the originality of expression is lovely. I adore the crop, contrast and coloring on Skin, it's a very pretty icon, and aaaw at Iconic :D

From the category my favorites are 2 and 5, again I really like the b&w + colored levels and the frame in b&w is nice. I also really dig that you went for Dargo and Zhaan, very unexpected.

I really love all the acs, I like the muted coloring and soft contrast of 1 and the texture use, colorings and negative space in 2 and 3.

Awesome job with all of these! ^^

#001 - Wow, gorgeous lighting and coloring!

#003 - The soft, natural hues are wonderful. ♥

#009 - I love the composition!

Awesome job! :D

There is never enough Braca. Trufax.

I found during the last challenge that Braca's eyes-forward-at-attention face when he's with Scorpius changes by degrees over the course of the series, gradually going from "what the frell is that thing?" to total puppy dog eyes. I also noticed that his uniforms get tighter and tighter the longer he serves under Scorpius. At the end of season one, he's wearing a frickin' smock, and at the beginning of season three, he's in a catsuit. I need to do a picspam about this someday.

Joining in with the Braca love!

This is a really great set. I really like the vibrant colouring and use of textures.

I particularly like hair porn, no contrast, AC set and your interpretations of crowded and iconic.

As always Thyla, a great set.

I am loving ac #2 & #5. And Blur, symmetry but expression is my fav. i love the grungy, texture use.

[shan-3414.livejournal.com]

Beautiful set! I love your composition and texture use throughout. Especially adore Hair Porn, Expression (such a unique icon!), Skin, and AC#3 & 4 (the coloring & texture on both are just stunning). Snagging a couple for sure!

[nebari-rebel.livejournal.com]

Beautiful icons...I am really loving Crowded, the coloring and the composition. I can't stop looking at it. Blur and Yellow really grab my attention, Hair Porn is beautiful, and I LOVE Iconic...

Great job on the category set - I love the caps you chose. Your ACs are amazing. I love 2 and 4 but like Crowded, can't stop looking at 1.
