Love the coloring here: these icons are really fun and eye-catching, great job on them! ♥

[obstinatecondolement]

Thanks so much!

I love the coloring in #3, beautiful! (Also, the bold texture use!)

[obstinatecondolement]

Thanks so much! I'm very new to icon making, so I'm glad you liked it :D

[tinny]

All riiight! I hope you come to like icon making, and that you enjoy the challenges here on dw. <3

In case you haven't seen it yet, there's a list of current challenges at icontalking.

Oh that's very helpful! Thank you :D

OOHHH!Such a nice pastel colouring!I LOVE THESE!The last one is so cool with that texture!

[obstinatecondolement]

Thank you! That's the one I did last, so I think I hit my stride as I went on, haha! I'm extremely new to this (never broke into the icon game back when I was on LJ and then I got used to only using the one on Tumblr), so it's very encouraging to hear that you like it!

[tinny]

pssst I saw that you entered one of those icons to both fandom_empire and here. Please don't do this. All icon challenges (with the notable exception of 100fandomicons) require you to make icons *new* and *for the challenge*.

[obstinatecondolement]

Thanks for the heads up! I won't do that again in future. I've deleted the icon I double dipped on from this post. I have another that I haven't submitted anywhere else with this colour palette; I can't edit it in now, as I won't be at a computer until this evening, but would that be okay to do later? Sorry for the confusion!

[tinny]

No worries, of course that's okay. <3

Wow, these colors are stunning! Love #2.

[obstinatecondolement]

Thanks! Just added the replacement in now.

[obstinatecondolement]

Thank you! I like that one too

[geckoholic]

Ohh, I really like the way you worked with the given colors and the fun composition in these!

[obstinatecondolement]

Thank you! I stuck to the same pretty basic formula for all three (make cut outs of the characters with transparent backgrounds and stick on a solid coloured background, add elements in a contrasting colour, put a filter on the characters that used one colour as the highlight and the other as the shadow). Some of them started out a lot busier, with like plaid backgrounds or other textures and colours on the background, but I simplified a lot in revision.
