Comment on everyone's work here! (This keeps the posting thread clutter-free and makes it easier on people with slow internet connections.)

This is also a good place to post any credits you want to give, for images, brushes, textures, so forth.

Well, I'll start the comment party by commenting on what people have posted so far. :)

Ariadne: I love the coloring on the Cate banner! And the contrast on the Icon banner is fantastic. :)

Nurr: The coloring is literally phenomenal on every single icon. I am jealous. Teach me your ways. Also, the wallpaper--crying because it is perfect. The contrast! The simplicity! The flawless blending!

Skitty: This is a weak start. Get moving. :P

Feanor: I am in love with the Thorin banner. I just can't stop looking at it and I kind of wish that I made it.

Maneth: The banner with Tyrion and Shae is awesome. The textures! The colors! Their faces!

Aranel: Everything you've posted is insanely quality. I can't wait to see more banners and blends from you, because the two that are there are so excellent. :D

Yeesh, I don't think I've actually made icons since last summer. I started and was like, "Were they always this small?" :blink: @Skitty: see, what I do is get one thing of coloring that works and then use it on every single image in the photo set. :P


Ariadne: Great start! I agree with Skitty, the Cate banner is gorgeous!

Skitty: You've come so far, I'm so proud. *sobs* Look at all the colors! :teehee: I especially love what you did with the Sam/Lucifer banner and the Theon blend. And the Faramir one is GORGEOUS.

Feanor: Yay Merlin! And the hobbit banners are brilliant! I love the Thorin one.

Maneth: That Jaqen banner is really cool!

Aranel: Fantastic icons! Your coloring is magnificent.

Woo, great start, everyone!

@Ariadne: I love your icon banner, it looks amazing ^^

@Nurr...these icons. I am so jealous of your icon skills. Sell me talent! I will pay you 100 bucks!

@Skitty, your coloring is amazing. I always admired you for softness of your works and coloring.

@Feanor: Great Merlin icons! I love how colors match the theme ^^

@Maneth, your "Beauty" banner blew me away!~You got these skills!

@Aranel, your sense of color is mind blowing. I may steal your talent as well.

Everyone's graphics look wonderful so far! :-D

Cara: I really like the coloring and the bright/dark contrast on your first three avatars. I also like the orangy borders you used.

Nurr: So many icons! :blink: I think the different photo placements are great.
Some of my favorites are your Julie and Sam banners, and I LOVE your Merry&Pippin blend. :swoon:

Skitty: Icons! great coloring, and the crown brush on the Aragorn icon is an artistic touch. My favorites are the second pair of Leggie icons.

Fea: I seriously love your second and third Hobbit banners. Great work! :)

Maneth: Nice Hobbit banner, and wow - the beauty banner is simply stunning. I like how the colors are so vibrant.

Aranel: Your colorization is fantastic.

Darkheart: A) I'm totally snagging that Sherlock wallpaper because it is INSPIRED AND I NEED IT. Also that Castiel banner is amazing with all the little scenes. I love your style!

So much excellent stuff :P

Cara: I love the colours and placement on your icons, particularly the LotR & Star Trek ones. Also this and this get a special mention for being AWESOME.

Ariadne: I adore the black and white contrast on your banners and your Sam blend. I also really love the dramatic look that you used on your icon banner. :)

Nurr: My God, your icons. :swoon: They're perfect.. I'm not at all sure how you manage to fit so much brilliance into such a small space. The "An unexpected Journey" blend is also fantastic.

Skitty: Can I have your everything, please? :swoon: It's all amazing. I think my favourite so far is the Team Free Will blend. :teehee:

Feanor: I love the array of colours that you use, in particular that LotS blend and this banner.

Ariadne: Your bookmarks are pretty cool! I like your icon banner too.

Nurr: :blink: You have a lot of stuff. I love your Bilbo and Smeagol wallpaper! And this blend. The Sam banner is so shiny!

Time for another round. :P

Cara/Dany/You change your name a lot :P: The banners of Daenerys are fabulous. Also, the blend with Bran is blended so well, and the coloring is really beautiful as well.

Ariadne: Pippin! :) I love the Beacons blend. Actually, both blends are great!

Nurr: I really love the simplistic look you've used on the Bilbo and Gollum banner/blend, and the Gandalf banner. Basically everything you've made with Bilbo and Gollum, actually, is amazing, like the wallpaper. *dies*

Skitty: You have a problem and yes, you are actually capable of making GoT graphcis that don't feature Renly or the Tyrells. Boo.

Feanor: The blues on the most recent additions are beautiful!

Maneth: Such incredible colors, especially on the Dany blends. :) I also love the Fellowship banner--very cool texture.

Aranel: New banners! *licks* I love the blending, it's so seamless.

Darkheart: So much Castiel. This is good. I also am in love with the Sansa blend.

Damson: I love love love love love the Morgana wallpaper! The texture and text look wonderful. Also, the challenge blend makes me smile. :P

Whoo, okay...now let's see.

Cara: Haha, sorry, you can't steal my so-called talent. *hides it away* :P Loving the colours you used. Your hobbit and GoT graphics are especially outstanding; your Bran blend is my favourite, it's so well done!

Ariadne: I'm appreciating you Cate banner too! I like the different ways you worked with that Pippin icon and that Sam blend is fantastic!

Nurr: I DO NOT KNOW WHERE TO START. The pace at which you spew these graphics out astounds a slow poke like me. Truth be told, your icons inspire me. But thank you! Is that Tom Hiddleston I see there? Your blends make me squee and your wallpapers reduce me to tears. Shame on you. :P

Skitty: You graphic genius you. You do know that I will eat your stuff if you continue that licking. XD I likewise am always looking forward to see what new things you post. I love love love your blends and must agree with Darky...I lost my soul to the Team Free Will blend. :lol:

Feanor: Amazing blending~ Your Bilbo banner is my favourite. Now post some more!

Maneth: I'm loving the colours you use, they're so eye-catching. Interestingly enough, I like your last banner best. But the Song of Fire and Ice wallie tops even that!

Darky: Can I say yum? I covet everything you posted. :teehee: My absolute favourites though are the Angel of Thursday, Sansa and Targaryen blend. Thank you for feeding my fandoms!

Damson: The Morgana wallpaper. <3333 Your icons are win, just so you know.

@Skitty: Thanks! I love that whole cutout style, I think I might do a whole series of them. Should be fun.

@Nel: Why thanks! :blush: Ayup, that's a Tom Hiddleston.


Cara/Dany: Love the Bran blend! It's got a great feel to it, blending and color-wise. And the Star Trek stuff is awesome.

Nel: GAAAAH everything you do is amazing and I love it all even if I don't care about the subject matter. Your blends are just stunning.

Darkheart: Again, LOVE your challenge. So perfect. And I just keep coming back to your Cas stuff (like that second blend) - so awesome!

Damson: :lol: Oh my gosh that Bilbo icon! And I love what you've done with the Gandalf and Elrond banners, plus your Merlin stuff is really just fantastic.
