Rules:
- Vote for 2 icons of the least quality. Reasons such as 'I don't like' or 'It's too plain' are not allowed. Actually think about why you are voting out the icon. If the icon is too plain, why is that bad thing? What could have been done to improve the icon?
- Also vote for 1 icon that you feel is the best quality. The reason for this one is optional but encouraged.
- Please do not focus on the icon fitting the theme as your main reason for voting a icon out.
- Keep your icon identity hidden until after the results are posted. Do not vote for yourself or get anyone to vote for you.
- You do not have to be a participant to vote (the more the merrier!).
- Positive votes do not take away from the amount of negative votes. This will change in the event of a tie.
- One person will be eliminated as the result of the voting.
- The comments are screened.
- If you entered and do not vote then you will not be eligible for Community's Choice or Mod's Choice.
- Voting will be open until Monday at around 11 PM ET.
Examples:
Least favorite:
12. The texture really takes away from the focus of the icon and throws off the balance.
120. The image is very sharp in spots including Buffy's hair line & facial features. It could have looked better with either some contrast or using a blur tool.
Favorite:
04. Beautifully cropped.
166. The coloring really makes the icon stand out from the others.

no subject
Date: 2016-12-18 10:41 am (UTC)#06 - the texture overpowers the subject, and there is very little contrast. I suggest adding contrast to her face to bring it out better.
#01 - This was a hard choice. I went with this icon because, at a closer look, there are color splotches on her face. I suggest smoothing those out with a small blur brush.
1 best quality icon:
#05 - The idea is very unusual but everything about it is executed perfectly. It's definitely a very unusual icon, and I feel like rewarding the brave choice. The clean style of the card requires the cap to be modified a lot to fit, and you did it flawlessly. He looks like he was hand-drawn. Amazing.
