congrats on finishing! I'm sorry it took so long to answer, I only had enough time to accept it this morning but then I had to rush out.

I think you filled quite good the captain, punch it & KM! so YAY for the fact that any doubt you had on them ended up in such wonderful icons =D I also liked communications and starfleet but I've got to comment on the final frontier, I didn't think of that when suggesting the theme but it's really eye-catching! Although my favourite has to be Spock, IDK why the composition and colouring of that icon just strikes me as perfect.

I've no idea about this show & thus the character but the category set has me thinking that the character at least is the most adorable thing ever just by existing XD. May I ask what his hair colour is? In some of your icons it looks green and in the others more teal like but it all might be due to lights/shadows in those scenes so I wonder /curious.

No problem with taking your time to comment. :)

I'm actually not quite sure where I got the idea for my Final Frontier icon, but I was trying to figure out what would help increase the focus on the figure and somehow also use the huge negative space left in a way that wouldn't take the focus away. So I'm glad worked.

I think with Spock, there was some kind of fortunate accident with the texture I used that makes it seem like his hair continues behind the texture and fades off a bit. Yet it's also clear that it's separate.

He is rather lovable and adorable in the anime. He clearly cares for Fuu (the main character whom he falls in love with) and he just has a interesting personality that ranges from silly to serious. I'm glad the category set got across how adorable he can be. XD It's why I love him after all.

And his hair is green. I think the teal you're seeing is due to the lights and shadows and maybe some of the textures I've used, like in the Spock icon. The cap for Starfleet was from a scene that took place at night-time and so that probably affected his hair color.

fortunate accident = best kind of icons =D

*nods* I figured one had to be the 'true' color but I wasn't sure which it was XD

I suspect many good things happen because of fortunate accidents. ;)
