Round #12 - Challenge #8 - Voting

Skipping: [livejournal.com profile] setentpet, [livejournal.com profile] scarred_loretta, & [livejournal.com profile] neatmonster.

Rules:
- Vote for 1 icon 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.


If you entered, please do not vote





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.





1. 2.

1 least quality icon:

#2 - Good colours and crop, but the tiny wavering font that was used doesn't fit the Big Bad text (unless it was used ironically?). Also, the placement of the smoke looks very unnatural. It doesn't seem to come from the end of Spike's cigarette and has a strange angle.

1 least quality icon:
#2 - The crop isn't bad and I like the pronounced bit of smoke but the icon is a bit too dark and the text seems out of place.

1 best quality icon
