Doctor Who icon battle, part 1  
The results of a huge Doctor Who icon battle between [livejournal.com profile] bizarra, [livejournal.com profile] erinm_4600, [livejournal.com profile] ghanimasun, [livejournal.com profile] haldir_lives13, [livejournal.com profile] jacquelee, [livejournal.com profile] john_scorpy, [livejournal.com profile] ladyhadhafang, [livejournal.com profile] messdestruction, [livejournal.com profile] mizz_destiny, [livejournal.com profile] thyla87 and [livejournal.com profile] torzy86!





For this battle we had three kinds of challenges: primary caps, which everyone had to icon, and secondary caps and themes, which were both optional.
As there are so many icons to post, I'm splitting this into two posts - one for the primary caps, and one for the extra challenges (themes + secondary caps).

Oh wow, just look at all the beauty in this post! All of you did fantastic things with the caps :) I'm a bit overwhelmed by this giant wall of awesome, so I'll just pick three favorites from each of you:

[livejournal.com profile] bizarra

It's so good to see how bold and experimental you're being with textures lately! Love the text and the muted colors in the first one, it all fits so well together :) The Martha one has fantastic crop and coloring (love the blue tint you gave it!) and I love what you did with the framey texturing in the third pick - it's subtle but gives the icon a nice composed look! Love the crop too.

[livejournal.com profile] erinm_4600

How is it that every time I see icons from you you've made a ton of progress?! :O These have some really awesome coloring going on in particular. The muted tones of the Rose one are gorgeous while the Amy one is so bold and refreshing with the extreme vibrancy! The Jack closeup has lovely depth/softness to it, as well as a great crop.

[livejournal.com profile] ghanimasun

Omg your lighting and texture use are getting more and more awesome with each set you make. The Jack one just kills me with the gorgeous texture use/composition, the Clara one is 100% quality icon in every way (lighting, coloring, contrast...) and I loooove what you did with the Master, the border-y texture looks so great!

[livejournal.com profile] haldir_lives13

I just love your colorings and creativity! Looove the first pick especially - we were the only ones to go for a cutout with that cap so *high five* also asdfsdfdf major props for managic to keep the shadow like that :OO The textured orange background looks fantastic too. The composition of the Martha one is just as awesome as your blocking always is (=VERY awesome), and omg the text use on the Clara one is just so creative and well executed!

[livejournal.com profile] jacquelee

LIGHTING MASTERY ^^ Love it so much in these three especially, and the warm vibrancy of the Jack and Martha ones is just so eye-catching and pretty but then again I also adore how the colored light adds to the bw in the 4th doctor one! There's something really captivating about the lowish, muted contrast on it too and the lighting is again really well positioned.
