I mostly make these for RP reasons, but I'd love to hear some feed back?

i'm very charmed by your icons, and i think the fact you make them for rp is an asset because you're not... trying too hard? the editing/colouring is very minimalistic and doesn't come across as self-indulgent.

one thing i think you could work on is sharpening; sometimes i feel like your icons are a bit too sharpened! that's not always the case, but i'd be on the lookout for that when editing.

[tavros]

hahah, yeah sharpening is one of the hardest parts for me. not so much now, but i used to have only PS7 and the sharpening is a bit different

thank you, though! i'm glad you like my icons, yours are really nice too

i am in love with your icons. i find that the colouring makes the icons sort of soft, which i find lovely. i like your grayscale icons as well, bit i'd personally like to see how some of them would look coloured!

[tavros]

aaaa that's a huge compliment coming from you. you're one of the icon makers at mambo?? i really like the icons there, thank you!

i mostly do the grey scale when i'm not too happy with how the colored one came out ( or just for minimalistic pattern on my rp account )
