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. ;)
