Thank you!

I'm partial to the yellow as well. The full body one was a new technique for me, trying to hold on to the background lineart if not the color, so I'm glad it turned out well!

Negative space started with a really lucky scan, but it also took a surprising amount of work to get the colors to work right. Something similar with circles—I really wanted to do something with that character because of how his powers tend to be drawn, but finding the right scan and making it look good on an icon was complicated. And I had trouble getting floral to work well, so I'm glad that you like that one!
