Better late than never, I guess! It's been a while since I did much of anything with textures, so this was fun.

Hover text is character, fandom, original artist if known (I lost the citations for one of them).



And a few alts this time:

Great! Lucky for you, I had no time to do the roundup yesterday, so you are not too late at all! :D

My faves are 1,3, and 5. The red in combination with the green in 3 looks great, a) it makes her stand out more because the background is darker, and b) the complementary coloring really adds something, too.

I really like the last one, too, even though I can't actually tell what the subject is. *G* But the idea to put a spaceship into this texture is great.

It was the 25th when I posted—my time, anyway! But it was pretty late, I admit. (I spent most of the month without iconning at all, and then I realized that I didn't want to miss another challenge. And then I spent half of today figuring out how to do gif icons in GIMP, because your old one above that you posted made me realize that I didn't have any idea how to do it...)

Anyway, thank you! I had a hard time deciding about #3; I ended up going with the red background for the contrast, so I'm glad that that's one of the things that worked for you.

The last one is a Romulan starship, commanded by the woman in icons 5-6; the design on it is canonically meant to be a stylized bird of prey, although the image is small enough that you can't really tell in the icon!

These look great! I love your X-Men ones, but they all look amazing! XD I can't decide if I prefer the first Rogue one or the alt more, but they're both gorgeous and my personal favorites out of your very impressive batch. Great job! ♥

[sheliak]

Thank you!

I had trouble deciding between the Rogue ones too, so I'm glad you like them both. :)

I already had the texture you used in your second icon, and never did anything with it but wanting to. I love what you did, it is framing the character in a cool way.

My second favorite icon is #6, the lighting looks create a great dramatic effect to go with the image of someone holding a arm.

Great job :)

[sheliak]

Thank you! I really liked being able to do the frame and floodlight effects that you mention.
