First just a tiny correction: OMWF is Season 6, not 7.

Having got that out of the way, these are GLORIOUS! I love that episode and have done a lot of fan art with caps from it, and this is some of the best I've seen. I'm harder pressed to name ones I don't like than ones I do, because where do I begin with the favorites? Right down to the two alts, especially alt 2 - I love the darkness, and how the circle of light seems to pick up the reflections in Buffy's jacket and vice versa.

You use of textures is marvelous throughout: especially Visible texture, Cat 3, and AC1. AC1 is absolutely awesome and dynamic! And I love that your negative space icon doesn't go with a blank background as so many "negative space" icons do, but the background is muted. Love the colorsplash effects in AC4, the text fading in and out in AC5 - it's meant to be read but it's also a design element; and quote.

OMG can we talk about the beauty of your quote icon for a moment? It's just perfect, IMO. The color, the softness, the transparency of the text and of course the "typewriter" font which is one of my favorites. It's so evocative.

I'll be snagging at least a few of these if that's all right?

Ah dammit, I knew I'd make a mistake with 6 and 7 xD But I did it right when I claimed it :'D
Thank you <3 Corrected it right away :)

And then such a long comment *-* Wow :D And so fast xD
I also had a hard time to pick the ones for Teaser, but then I thought whatever :'D

Thank you so so much for your detailed opinion and kind words, they make me very happy :)
The themes were awesome, I had ideas right away and didn't have to struggle long.
As for Quote it was pretty clear to me I wanted to do something from the beginning of the song, and I'm so happy it turned out like it did :)

And YES OF COURSE! You can use any icon you want, I'm honored <3

[crazycordy.livejournal.com]

these are awesome!

I especially love 2 boxes... it just flows beautifully! <3 you category colors are just gorgeous and I also love AC1 & AC2... that Buffy icon is so vibrant and lovely :)

[sandy79.livejournal.com]

Gosh, they are beautiful! And the colors are so absolutely perfectly combined, not just in the category icons, but overall. Love the "looking up/down" icon (I'm a Spike girl!), and the "b/w" one!

Snagged them, will of course credit when use!

[killing-kurare.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much!

yeah, Spike is the best *-*
I'm so glad you like them, and of course, go ahead and use them! :D I'm flattered ^^

Yeah, I also like how 2 boxes turned out :) At first I wasn't sure, but then it worked xD
I had really fun with the colors, and Buffy's hair is so beautiful this long <3

I really like your coloring, light and crop on neg. space, the coloring on AC2 and your composition on two blocks. Nice work!

[feliciacraft.livejournal.com]

Wow! These are gorgeous! I can't choose favorites, but when I scrolled down to the Two Boxes entry (Buffy & Giles, "Stay"), I got goosebumps it was so powerful! Thank you for sharing!

[gabby227.livejournal.com]

These are gorgeous! I'm in love with negative space, close crop & partner in crime. Your category set is also simply gorgeous!

[tinny]

Ooooooh, great choice of ep! When I saw that claim, I knew I'd have to do that at some point, too.

I really like your Close Crop, I think that's my favorite. But I like the vibrant colors in the whole set, especially in the Category set - their hair looks gorgeous.

[starry-night.livejournal.com]
