No problem at all!!! ;//v//; Ahhh I'm so happy you like it!! <3 Thanks for crediting me in your sig as well!! >//v//< Also, finished your second set! <:
Love your new gallery layout! The font matches very well and the effects are very nice, as I expected haha. Do you remember what font you used btw? o_0 I've seen it around often but I never got around to figuring out what it is. Like, it can't be a default font, right? 
Anyway, it's also cool to see your past works and compare them to your 2014 stuff to see how much you've improved (which is a lot)! Your style changes tell me that you've been trying out new stuff, which is great and shows how varied you can be.
ICONS. I LOVE THESE. I CAN TALK ALL DAY ABOUT ICONS.
So yeah, I really like what you did with cropping, especially in the first. Face cut-offs are A+ and super interesting, and the light effects on her hair really add to the whole piece ;-]
Also, I like the background you used in the second one (which is super fitting), and cropping is top notch as well, since you managed to fit in all of the important details haha.
I'd love to see more icons from you!! Iconing is like "my thing" so I like it when other people try it out more too c:

Thank you very much! >//v//< And yup!!! I almost always use this font when I can't find other good fonts to match ahahah it's called Baruta! It's one of my favorite fonts to use! <3
Haha thank you!! ; v; Yeah! I've been trying out a lot of new things. I'm literally just free styling everything hahaha!! It's always fun to learn new techniques/ways to make gfx!
HAHAHA DUDE ICONS ARE SO MUCH FUN TO MAKE!!! <3
Omg hahaha honestly I got the face cropping idea from when I was literally about to resize the render, but then when I moved it around, I was like "OMG THIS ACTUALLY LOOKS GOOD WITH HER FACE CROPPED!!!!" Hahaha and that's where that idea came from ahahaha but I also wanted to make an icon with her showing her stuffed animal, so that's why I made two hahaha!!
Oh definitely!!! I plan on making more!! At least 8 more to provide newer examples once I re-open up my GFX shop hahahaha!
Thank you so much for all your comments and C+C!!! I truly appreciate it!! >/v//< I can't wait to see you update your gallery with newer GFX!!!
AHH THE PROFILEEE
"FT ONE PIECE" AAAAAAH SQUEE SQUEE
(it's funny that Brook looks like he's swinging forwards from the title haha)
SANJIII AHAHAHAHA "NAMII SWANNNNNN" !!
(OMG HE REALLY DOES LOLOL I DIDN'T NOTICE THAT AHAHAHA Honestly the render cut off Brook's arms so I had to try to cover it up without making it look too unnatural LOLOLOL )
Keitara
<span style="color:brown; ">♔
huehuehue I notice everything! :> *mellorine scan activated*
(I totally have this "Mellorine! Mellorine!" sound in my head xD)
Oh I see... Renders that are cut off are sometimes hard to handle, yes yes... *tries to speak like a gfx pro*
but either way it looks great!!
omg I just typed mellorine into google and look at what I discovered!XD
THIS EXPLANATION AND THE IMAGES DON'T FIT AT ALL AHAHAHA

Oh gosh it definitely was a nightmare ahahaha you can tell if you looked at when I first started making GFX in 2008-2009 LOL (Cringe worthy ahahahaha)! Once you get used to using the tools on GIMP and looking at tutorials, it actually got very easy and comfortable to use! c: It really just takes time hahaha! GIMP in my opinion is definitely second best if you can't buy PS!~

OMG LOL NOW YOU HAVE IT IN MY HEAD! XD Ahahahaha
Hahaha thank you so much!!! XD And yeah definitely! I'm glad I was able to use the text to cover it up so it looked more natural ahahaha! XD (Also looks like I cut off Brook's arms on purpose to make the text pop out more ;D )
OMG IT REALLY DOESN'T FIT AT ALL AHAHAHAHA WHAT THE AHAHAHA
Made some changes to the profile! c: Made the text A LOT more readable now hahaha sorry about before ; v;
Also opened up a giveaway! If you'll like any icons/sigs/banners/profiles from me, then feel free to post there! (Limited slots as I'm only looking for a certain amount of GFX to make to start up my real GFX shop hahaha)

Also tried out a new profile style!~ It was a lot easier to make, still took a lot of time, but still easier than the gallery profile I recently made ahahaha

It's called Baruta! c: One of my favorite fonts to use <3
The new profile style is super clean and nice, I love what you did with it. WHERE DO YOU GET ALL THESE WACKY FONTS? Lol
But y'know, I think the main reason why people are having problems reading the text is that it's in a light color (white) and the font size is pretty small! The font itself (I don't remember what it's called exactly but I'm aware that it's the default userbar font, lol) is definitely not the problem. The giveaway profile does look good as is but changing the text color to black or something would make it stand out better, as the white text slightly blends in with the light gradient :-]
I like this latest icon! The cropping's great and the lighting/coloring is nice, with the monochrome purple color scheme going on. But I do have to ask, do you usually put borders on your icons (since most of the icon examples in the OP have a border)? I think borders are great on graphics like signatures but I would be cautious with using them in icons, since they can give an icon a bit of a closed look rather than an open one, especially since there's less canvas space. Also, there are overwhelming sharp lines in some parts, like her face and arm! You most likely left things that way to get some depth contrast with the right side but it's a good idea to tone down sharpen with icons, again because the canvas is smaller and it's more noticeable as a result.
(Here's my favorite smart sharpen setting, by the way: Amount- 30, Radius- 0.5px; and then after I sharpen, I use the eraser tool on a low opacity to get rid of anything that's too sharp.)
I use this setting a lot because the result often ends up sharpened just enough, though sometimes I change the amount up to 45 if the image is blurrier than normal and could use an extra boost. If you haven't already, you should experiment with some smart sharpen settings and see how you like it compared to regular Sharpen!

Thank you!! >v <I get all of my fonts from dafont.com ahahaha! Also the reason why the text is white is because it matches more with the color scheme/profile hahaha I actually tried black before white and oh god it looked terrible. It didn't match at all ; __ ; Also the text used is a pixel font I got from dafont.com c: It's really great to use for profiles haha XD
Just finished messing around with the text settings! I made the pink more darker for the text's border! c: Also added a faint glow to make it stand out more XD
Oh no hahaha all the icons on my OP were requests and were requested that way hahaha XD A lot of people like borders on their icons so that's why hahaha XD Oh gosh!! Thanks for pointing that out!!! ; __ ; I did erase part of the sharpening when I sharpened it, but now that I see it, I should turn down the opacity even more. I was making this at 4am bwuahahaha! Thanks for point that out again! XD
Ohhh thanks for the advice! I'll definitely experiment with it on my next gfx! <:
Also here's the icon a lot less sharpened, with and without a border hahaha XD
Thank you so much again!! Your advice is always supremely helpful! > v<
