Omgosh!! These are...flawless! The coloring, the bold tones, textures, cropping! And I love your abcs themes! Awesome post!

[alwaysbeenasmiler]

THANK YOU! I HAD SO MUCH FUN WITH THIS THEME! Like, it was revisiting every single part of my childhood memory, and I had to par it down-- it was so hard trying to keep it evenly distributed. I think that the main theme was just too fun to pass up! Once again thank you so much, my heart smiles from your words-- seriously!

OMG THESE ARE SO GREAT

I've been having trouble with this theme but you knocked it out of the park!

[alwaysbeenasmiler]

omg thank you! It was hard thinking of it at first, but then I thought about sort of doing the ABCs in maybe objects/maybe keywords-- it became so much easier and I was able to string the ABC together-- YOU ARE TOO KIND! SERIOUSLY!

great job onthese!! I especailly like 7 - the composition and negative space is great, and good colouring

[alwaysbeenasmiler]

Thank you so much! I had fun making all the icons-- don't really care about placing anything else except that I had a blast to be honest, and I hope it shows that I enjoyed making them-- or that they somehow convey my enthusiasm

[timetobegin]

I adore the way you work with colour. I love #1 and #6 especially!

[alwaysbeenasmiler]

Thank you very much! Colour is one of my favorite subjects to work with and it's always fun to challenge myself to make certain colours pop! You are definitely too kind! <3

[breyzyyin]

These icons are absolutely gorgeous! ♥

Return to Oz! Love that movie.

[alwaysbeenasmiler]

You have no idea how scared I used to be of the Many Heads.. loved the movie but also nightmare fodder!

[alexia_drake]

Very interesting way to use the theme! lol I love you colors, lighting and your compositions. Great icons!

[alwaysbeenasmiler]

Thank you so much! <3 and it was hard for me to think of coinciding letters for subjects, so I had to get creative about it!
