LIMS BtVS round 13 icons

[double_dutchess]

The current round of lims_btvs is not over yet (so  don't forget to vote in the final challenge!) but it is over for me. Here are the icons I made for this round, numbered by challenge:

1	2	4	5

I wasn't happy with my Oz icon at all, and I'm really lucky it didn't get me eliminated right off the bat. Based on the feedback I made a new version (1a below), but unfortunately that one sucks too. I still like the concept, but I guess it needs a better icon maker to execute it properly.

My Anya icon I was actually happy with, but it still got me eliminated. According to feedback, the icon was too busy and the font colours didn't fit with the rest. So I made a new, more subdued version (2a), but I find it a bit boring. I actually really like the bright pink (and it's on the Game of Life box too, anyway) so 2b is now my favourite version.

The Dawn icon I made for the comeback challenge (combining two textures from colorfilter; below are the single-texture versions) got me back into the game, but that only lasted until the next challenge. At least I got the chance to icon punk!Spike, which is always a pleasure. Below is a full colour variant, but I like the one with black and white Spike better.

Oh, cool! I like the fun, fun, fun icon -- so useful (if I changed icons, I'd absolutely snag). Nice concept for Oz, yes. The second version does make it much easier to notice what's up. And yay, punk!Spike! :)

I like the Anya one - and the Spike one. Not sure why Oz's lip looks distorted EDIT - Oh, I see! Sorry - it's first thing in the morning!

Ohhhh! I LOVE the Spike + Anarchy one. SO FITTING! And the Anya with the board games. Fun, fun, fun!

Really like the yellow Fun, Fun, Fun Anya, and of course, punk Spike is always a winner.

These put me in a holiday mood! So great!

Oh, these are great! Icons 5 and 2a are my faves.

I think the Oz idea is a good one, and agree with you about the b&w Spike. The combined texture Dawn looks great, but I really like the 2a Anya. We've been playing board games over the holiday and I can totally relate!

I wish I could see them. It looks like Photobucket has unleashed it's new hell on your links. :/
