Thanks! I was trying some new techniques. Actually, #27 was completely blue, if that's what you meant, all I really did was add a light texture to it.
If you look in the *New* Commericals thread in the Spoilers Board, you can find them there. But just be aware that if you make graphics with them, you can't use them in your profile.

not the greatest my brother. probably the best is #26 du mr.Adam Levine. Make your work more expressive of your art feelings based, it will show and your outcome will be SO much better, also if you are using c4ds erase the parts ont he focal.

Umm . . . I'm not really sure what to make of that post. I don't really know what you mean by "art feeling based" and I'm not quite sure what "c4ds"are? =\

Hmmm... I'm not sure what he was saying either however this is not my favorite dump of yours to be honest ^^; I mean some are really nice however others just seem busy or the effects are just... there and not really adding to the icon. For example this: I really don't think the effect added to the icon at all and in fact, detracted from it. The image in the circle seems kind of random (I know it's Troy but still, odd) and the circles themselves look a little pixely somehow. The same goes for #s 28 and 33. I dunno, somehow the effects just don't work for me. Usually I really like your icons so I was disappointed to be honest with this dump ^^; I did have some favorites, however 3 and 4 from the Adam Levine set and 13 from the Troy set.

Have to agree with Empy there: not your best stuff. Some of the coloring/images (like, sharpness etc.) were a bit off. (ex.(in the Adam Levine dump) 5-can't make out the face, 8,9,10,28,33-- just awkward placements for the text/brushes. I personally don't like it when the "extra" images block the main images too much) Now constructive idea time: That circle-y texture you used in AL2 and 10, TB8 and 11? Try moving it to be off center. It'll look better that way if the focal point of the image (usually the face) is off to the side. Use it as a sort of frame. Oh, and don't be afraid to change the size of it. The "A" block thingies in 28 and 33? Just kill them. Or replace them with something less solid. They distract from the picture too much. Maybe just a semi-opaque "A" in a color that contrasts the image? Other than that maybe just a little less texture on some of them. And HSM sucks.

Uggghh. *sigh*
Well thank you all for your critisism. It's appreciated, even though most of it was bad. :] I guess that I was bound to make a phail icon dumpp sooner or later. Wished I hadn't done it with these subjects though. It feels as though I have tainted them by making them bad. Well I still have to finish making the 100 icons for Troy, and I have the other 60 bases for Adam done, so maybe I can start with a whole different approach. Sorry if my icons killed you. I thought most of them were ok, but I guess I was wrong. D:
Merci again!

What i meant was make them express something. not just an Eye pleaser. a c4d is like, here i'll show you one you put it in photoshop and set it to an option such as "multiply or overlay" it gives kind of an effect to it. Btw.. michael phelps is killing it XD here's an example of what i mean by expressing a feeling, one that i made a long time ago

It looks like you ganked the textures Kalia (star-jrock) from LJ made for the icons like 1, 4, etc. from some of the Adam and Troy dumps. Not the best use of those textures, my friend. ;; Half of your icons look like you just slapped textures or lens flares on them just so it'd have an effect. Every icon doesn't have to have an effect. Some of your images also featured them making very...strange expressions. Unless it's supposed to be humorous, try and avoid those. XD But don't feel bad because they're not all bad. : )

In fact, i'd rather look at something with mor expression than more of a posed, or a "simple eye pleaser". It gives it more of an "active" feel. No offense, and i respect your opinion, but nah man..
