Oh wow, thank you so much for this amazing comment!! *___*
whoa, Likes to read was the last one I made and it was a quickie really so I didn't expect people to like ti that much, but I'm glad they seem to :) (I can't really take much credit for the text style though, as it was totally ripped off from inspired by theotherayn, so all due credit to her :p)
Hee, if you like my muted icons like Likes to read, you might enjoy playing around with this set of gradients - they're the secret behind all my vintage-colored/muted icons, true fact! As for Mask, the cap was hideously dark and badly lit to begin with but I liked the crop I got with it, sooo I decided that trying to brighten it up would ruin the quality so why not go all the way dark and make it look intentional, haha! Sometimes difficult caps are a good thing cause they make you try something different :)
Omg I honestly have no idea what you mean with the last part though, because I struggle SO much with image quality myself (all my main fandoms have pretty crappy cap quality tbh :D). Usually my solution is just a combination of slight Topaz use and manually smudging the worst pixellated parts. This sometimes works better than other times but I have to manage, since my favorite seasons of both DW and FS are the ones with worst image quality .__. idk if this answers your question but feel free to ask more if it didn't, I like to ramble about icons :)
Really, thanks for taking the time and effort to write this!!! ♥
