Oh my gosh, this has to be your best lot of icons ever. Seriously. They are the most wonderful looking icons I've seen in ages. I'm not even exaggerating because you're my Twinness and that's my job - I really think these are FANTASTIC! You put me to shame. But that's okay, because we're one and the same and we share everying, right? (except name and blood!)

1. Stealing this one! So very, very true. She is... living sex. Is that possible? If so, that's what she is. I LOVE the cropping of the background and its dullness contrasted with the brightness of the smaller picture, and the faint light circles and the text (especially the full stop!). So yeah, basically everything.
2. Again, lovely. The cropping is great (not to mention the picture itself) and the whiteness at the top with the text works really well. Poor Syd. Poor Vaugh. But hey, DIDN'T THEY GET TOGETHER IN THIS EPISODE? I THINK SO. Sorry, just had to get that out there.
3. This one reminds me of Firefly, for some reason. I really like the little box with the gun, 'cause it proves the "prepared point". As usual, great cropping. That one's practically a given, though.
4. Syd is the best! Syd's my hero! Excellent text on this one and (once again) very good cropping. The border also works well.
5. Firs thing to stand out: the great text! Love it. A lot. The two boxes (well, one's the background) showing the different angles of the same shot work REALLY well, as do the thick white bars. You're the queen of that style, Twinness!
6. So cute and so sad! I long for the pre-Evil!Francie/The Francinator/The Freplica days. I bet Will does too. Anyway, once again you're really workin' the box style and the spaced out text. The lighting is warm, loving and friendly *sigh*.
7. I'm not a big Francie fan but I like this one a lot. I think it's 'cause of the white bars at the bottom and top, and the spaced out text (one of my favourite textual effects. I mean, I do use it in every icon these days, haha) and the brush. The way the text and brush both merge into the bottom is something I think looks great on any icon.
8. An evil icon! Geiger - that's his name right? Anthony Geiger, German Intelligence? I don't like him. He tried to hurt my Jacky, and NO ONE gets away with that. NO ONE. I really like the squiggly brush in this one, though I don't really know why. It's just cool.
9. I don't really like Dixon that much at some points in season two (er, ESPECIALLY this episode) so I'm glad you can't see his face too much, hehe. Nah, I think the cropping's great, because it's so obviously Dixon (not to mention it says so). I always try to go for the "risque" cropping, but it NEVER works out like this. You have the touch!
10. My poor darling SpyDaddy! It's all right, though, because his wonderful daughter is coming to save him. Thank goodness. I really like the bleak and eerie lighting of this one (they reflect the scene well) and the text is very true.
11. Um, morbid much? (I LOVE CORDY.) Yeah, this is a bit creepy, but it's really effective so well done! The cropping is perfect, the way it has the blood as the main focus. I'm in awe!

So all in all, WONDERFUL icons and you must make more. May I suggest... Crossing Jordan ones? Yeah? YEAH? Sorry...

Hi, I just wanted to pop in and let you know that I'm nominating the icon you designed (which won the last contest at [livejournal.com profile] syd_stillness) at [livejournal.com profile] alias_awards. It's really a lovely design!
