These icons are super amazing. There are not enough video game icons around, and these are all gorgeous additions. I wanted to point out my favorites:

- Thank you xafirah for doing the world a public service and making a 'calibrations' icon with Garrus. That is amazing. xD I've saved I will credit you when I use. <3

and
- Tali and EDI! Both amazing, emiels. I love your creative use of colors in the EDI icon. Her visor is stunning. That Tali icon is lovely, with its negative space and soft, gentle coloring. Sort of fits her. ;) Snagged and will credit when I use!

May I also ask who made the Wrex icon you are using as your userpic? It is stunning.

- So neat, crusading_soul. Had a bit of nostalgia looking at that icon.

- Thank you adriftingsea for making a Link icon. Great color and spotless blending!

I LOVE the grungy virbancy of your icons ♥u♥ Your typography is so amazing too I just love them so much.  The awesome painted effects too *o*  Everything you make is like a tiny little masterpiece ;p  I love the orange text on the two icons I picked (didn't realize until now xp) and the composotion of the Ellie one is just love ♥

crusading_soul

Your coloring is so pretty!! *O*  The light texture + glowy-ness of the first icon is super pretty, and the negative space in the second one is superb!  And then the typography in the last one is really simplistic yet really intriguing thanks to the tilt :3

I'm in love with the wam coloring of that Lutece Twins icon ♥  The red/orange color of the FF7 one is really pretty too (and the negative space but I'll do p much anything for negative space xp) and then your Mass Effect icon is sO COLORFUL OMG ♥

xafirah

I've always loved the vibrancy of your icons :3  The colors in the second one are so eyecatching *o*  the composition of the third is really subtle and pretty :3 and I love the composition + typography of the first one ^o^

All in all, everyone did FANTASTIC and it was super fun :3 thanks to emiels who coordinated this and set it up ^o^/♥

Thank you!
I haven't been making icons for a while and it was good to work with something I ADORE. Third one is actually VERY VERY VERY painted-over! Since I was working on some illustration I thought I could do something close to that! Also, Ellie is such a cutiepie!
Let me tell you this tho: going back after months of non-iconing TEXT IS HARD.

Speaking of typography, I love how you made the text in the second icon the focal point. And finally, I love love love that Bioshock Infinite icon, everything about it is perfection ♥
