i know i change styles a lot, so i've used two icons for each of my favorite styles (5 different total). it would mean a lot if you could tell me my best style, and any other relevant concrit. thank you!

A lot of your stuff is way oversatuated. Bright is a lot of fun when done right but sometimes you take it to eye-searing levels which washes out a lot of the details of the original art.

is there a particular style that doesn't do this? (i can guess what does)

I really like your icons a lot. They're well cropped, simple but not plain or boring and the saturated, vibrant colouring really fits for most of the images but your black-and-white icons like this one (http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n578/turntech/icons2/50shadesof31.png) are pretty as well.

As for suggestions as to how to improve your icons, I think some of them are a tad too bright in addition to being over-saturated which makes the colours washed-out and over-contrasted. Examples: X (http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n578/turntech/icons/nyeh_59.png), X (http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n578/turntech/icons2/lorax22.png), X (http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n578/turntech/icons/nyeh_35.gif), X (http://i1140.photobucket.com/albums/n578/turntech/icons/nyeh_73.png). As opposed to the other anon who gave you concrit though, I don't think a lot of your icons are oversatuated? Just a couple of them in some of your posts. c:
