SOOOO many gorgeous icons!!! Thank you for hosting this, novindalf! <3

my top 2 for everyone:







Great work, everyone.
Let's do it again some time in the future! ;D

[novindalf]

You're welcome dearie! So glad you liked my Regina icon, I think that's the one I'm most happy with :D

I'd love to do it again, but maybe in the rather more distant future - it's a lot of work ;P

part 1.

[monstersinyou.livejournal.com]

OH. MY. GOD. Y'all are the reason why I need to get a paid account with more userpics now. :D

I wish I had been back early enough to join this awesome, awesome battle because the outcome is far beyond amazing. Seriously, there are so many pretty icons up there, I don't even know where to start with my comment (do comments happen to have a maximum number of signs allowed? Because I have a feeling this will be one hell of a long comment, so you better get your reading glasses out and wrap up nice and tight under a warm blanket 'cuz I'm just gettin' started!).

absolutelybatty

Seriously, the Ruby icon is beyond amazing. I really, really love the blending and texture use and text and coloring and duh, it's awesome!

footballlover10

Hook always makes for a favourite icon. Nice job on all of these, especially the Regina one. :)

margerydaw_s2

The colours on the Emma icon are fantastic, I really like the blues and red of her jacket. The crop on the second icon is stunning, absolutely love it. Also, the texture use on the Mary Margaret icon is beautiful.

nightbulbs

Seriously, choosing from your icons was so hard! Your text and texture use is beyond amazing and I love all the little things on the Emma icon, it is so pretty. Also, hello sexy Hook!

wandererjulia

The close crop on Regina is gorgeous (I love close crops) and the Snow Queen looks great, too. The Else icon looks amazing and I really like the rotated image, it works really well for the icon.

bangel_4e

I really liked your icons, they were so amazing. The vibrant coloring on the Else icon is so beautiful and I love the glowing look on the others.

sietepecados

I absolutely love, love, love the Emma icon. The coloring and negative space work so well together and so does the text. The same counts for the other two. I love how clean the Snow Queen icon looks.

Alright, I guess the original comment WAS too long indeed.

RE: part 1.

[bangel-4e.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much for liking them!!! <3

part 2.

[monstersinyou.livejournal.com]

julie_izumi

I love the dark vibrancy on the Regina icon and the texture use is really gorgeous. The composition of the Emma icon is beautiful and the colours are gorgeous. And the crop on the Anna icon is gorgeous!

kirtash_girl

Wow, the coloring on the Neal icon is amazing! The coloring on the Peter Pan icon is lovely, too. I like the muted look of it.

crazy_cordy

I love the clean look of the icon and the black and white with red is so pretty and really suits the image. I love the screencap you chose for the Elsa icon and the texture use is great. Well, and Hook is just awesome Hook.

novindalf

I love, love, love the negative space and dark coloring on the Regina icon, it's beautiful and it looks so elegant! The light coloring on the Emma icons is beautiful. And the coloring and text and texture use on the Hook icon are amazing.

crucified

The natural and soft look on your Elsa icon is beautiful. I like the darkness of the Hook icon and the duotone coloring. The cropping and screencap choice on the Mary Margaret icon are lovely.

slytheringurrl

I really like the fading look on the Snow Queen icon and the pale coloring. The coloring, texture use and how lovely Elsa's lips stand out is great. Great animation and coloring on the Hook icon.

And now one more part.

RE: part 2.

[novindalf]

Thank you so much! The Regina one is probably my favourite, so I'm especially thrilled people like that one :D

part 3.

[monstersinyou.livejournal.com]

theladymorgan

The purple coloring on the Neal icon is gorgeous. The negative space and blues in the Elsa icon are beautiful, it looks so neat. I also really like the glowing look on the Anna icon.

icequeen3101

The crop on the Snow Queen icon is fantastic. I also really, really like the coloring and lighting on the Robin Hood icon, it looks beautiful. Also, the greens and lighting on the Mulan icon are also absolutely stunning. Nice work.

gallicka

The cold look and texture use on the Snow Queen icon are to die for! It's so, so beautiful. Also, the coloring on the Elsa icon is gorgeous and I really like how you made her look so different. I also really like the Mulan icon - it's so creative with your gorgeous text and texture use and the blending. Also, let me tell you I really LOVE your Hook icon even though it didn't make the top three here because it's way too hard to decide, haha.

nadya149

Oh well, you have way too many beautiful icons. It was so hard to choose just three! I really like the coloring and texture use on the Belle icon, it's so perfect! The Elsa icon is pure perfection, too. The coloring and negative space are to die for. The texture work and blending and text on the Hook icon are gorgeous. Also, I really like the neat and clean and glowing look on the Mary Margaret icon - but like I said, I could only choose three.

youwatchusrun

I love, love, love the negative space and darkness of the Neal and Emma icon - it's perfect. Also, the shadow looks brilliant. The pale pinks of the Snow Queen icon is so beautiful, too. And the Elsa icon looks gorgeous as well. The earth-tone coloring, negative space and the decoration on the Robin Hood and Regina icon are so pretty.

Now, this took quite some time. But I guess all those pretties you created are totally worth a few (or a few more) minutes to comment. Like I said I wish I would've been back to LJ earlier to join in the fun because this is such an amazingly beautiful and absolutely perfect batch of icons and every single one of you did such a truly awesome job with these.

Whooo, finally made it. :D

RE: part 3.

[gallicka.livejournal.com]

Thank you! Those 3 are some of my fav. too! ♥

[sietepecados]

[novindalf]
