Yay, thank you! :D I'm very glad you found some you liked, 15 and 20 are among my favourites too ♥ The 22 effect seemed kind of weird at first, but pretty beautiful, I was really surprised with the result, haha.
I'm definitely planning to continue, thanks! ♥ I had wayyy too much fun with this :D And I'll keep in mind that you like multi-person icons… ;) Personally I tend to often focus on one character, but those are cool as well, indeed!
Thanks again for the comment, it's really appreciated :D ♥♥♥

Yeah, if you'd asked me I would have said weird photo effects like that were a bad idea, but the result is just really pretty. I'd be taking that one too, but Belle isn't really my thing.

You're kinda inspiring me to get back to making icons. I had a little bout of it and then gave it up, but it is fun, and it's so nice to be able to make that one you really want . . .

I find it hard to explain my preference. This is gonna sound wacky: single-character icons often feel a little . . . selfish to me? I like icons that seem to convey the connection between two characters through the use of the space between them.

Same here—I wouldn't have thought it'd work if I'd really known what I was doing, but I was just trying out various things to see how it looked and I thought "ohhh, shiny!"

Eeeee, you should get back to it! ♥ I'd love to see your icons. I know right, it's pretty wonderful… ^_^

No, it doesn't sound wacky! ^_^ Though I don't get the same feeling about single-character icons, I totally see what you mean as far as the connection is concerned. Now that you drew my attention to that I kind of want to do more of those, actually.
