5 Other Icons that Blew Me Away

[katekat]

I've done Faith, Buffy & Giles.  These were the icons of other characters that made me sit up and take notice.


1.

Why this icon?  it's a fantastic crop, a beautiful texture job, lovely text, and pretty much all around perfect (and heartbreaking)

2.

Why this icon?  It pares down everything to it's essentials - just the features illuminated in flame.  Yet you know *exactly* who that is - Spike, at his smoky best.

3.
by cool_rush from cool_graphix here
Why this icon?  The same thing applies to this as to the icon above - beautiful, tiny and yet Willow is essentialized here.

4.
also by mouthfullofdust from thirdhex here
Why this icon?  it takes my breath away what can be done with skill - taking a beautiful shot and magnifiying the brush of magic from Tara's fingertips into long star shapes.  Just perfect.

5.
by quietlyobsessed from tapered_faith here
Why this icon?  Because it captures some of that quirky energy from the first seasons via both texture and color.  And because it's a little silly, too.

They're wonderful. The Spike smoking one is particularly striking. Think I have to have that one.
