    Cant wait to see the final winner. These icons are all so beautiful. Well done to everyone. Reminds me how much of a beginner in the old icon department I am!
    Good Luck!

    oh gosh, I didn't even see the post for this lol. I kinda knew I was gonna be voted out the minute I turned it in...hahaha I kinda forgot about it, and had fifteen minutes before the deadline but I did the best with what I could lol I was suprised I got that far, and I have to say I'm very proud of myself, since I've only been at this for three months!

    Although I had fun, I can only do this kinda thing in the summer. I'm SWAMPED! So, good luck to the final three, I can't wait to see what you guys come up with! Everyone does such a great job with all of them!

    Round 1 ~ Challenge 7 ~ VOTING

    -Comment to this post with your chosen 2 icons. (make sure to look at all of the icons, and don't randomly pick bad ones, pick the TOP TWO OF LEAST QUALITY) With these 2 votes, you must include a reason for each icon and why you're voting for it.

    -You are voting for the LESSER QUALITY icon. Please do not vote using your personal preference, as we are voting on the general quality of the icon. This means you should look at the cropping, coloring, sharpening, text, etc. Do not vote for an icon because you don't like the style of it. DO NOT put personal preference into your comment or your vote will be disqualified.

    Examples of good reasons:
    50: The text is oddly placed
    68: The colouring is overpowering
    56: The icon is too blurry

    Examples of bad reasons:
    "I hate the colour pink." (Personal Preference)
    "You can't tell it's Vanessa." (You may comment on the cropping instead.)
    "The tiny text/decorative brush is unreadable." (Because they’re supposed to be that way.)

    -Remember to vote for 2 icons.
    -You don't need to be a participant of the challenge in order to vote.
    -With enough votes, voting will close on Friday night.
    -The makers of the icon with the least number of votes will win the challenge and will thus be declared as the last iconmaker standing for this round.

    Okay, let me start...though it´s a hard decision again.

    #2 the red is overpowering
    #1 the skin looks a bit yellow-ish

    Time flies when you are having fun! Here are my final votes:

    #2 - The red color takes away her skin color
    #3 - (I really don't know how to explain this but I give it a shot:) her face looks a bit blurry but her hair a bit too sharpen, it doesn't look natural.

    :eek: Wow the last round already!

    Well, as everyone can imagine, it's not easy but...

    03: Very plain, and it would help if the icon wasn't so sharpened. It could use a little more contrast, and some more colour to bring out Vanessa's skin and clothing, to compliment this particular background.

    01: The cropping is very far away, so the details of the icon are lost. The colouring of the skin, and hair should be contrasted a little more.

    Good luck everyone!

    03 - Vanessa's face looked kind of squished and the text is a bit plain
    02 - The red colour takes over Vanessa

    Great icons you three! Good luck, it was a hard choice. :)

    Great work guys but if I had to choose I would say

    #2 - the colouring is too red
    #3 - Is a bit plain and the background is slightly unclear to what it is.
