Of course thinking about your preferences doesn't mean I'll accurately predict them but you're one of my Icon Muses (Fairies?)
The new Gift icon does look very pretty against the blue-grey. It also reminds me of a mural of a sky in a beautiful old cathedral! I just wish she was smiling a little more - it's weird, I so loved that cheerful image of Buffy smiling that I snagged from Spikesredqueen that I feel anxious without it - like the loss of my teddy bear!
Speaking of the color blue I made a pale blue variant of The Chain icon for round 1 of 20in20 and I - apparently deleted it. Idiot me. And I can't recreate that exact shade for the life of me. (Which is was separates the true artist from the dabbler, I think.)
Interesting that you like orange. Orange is my least favorite color but I love peach tones (to look at not to wear) I used to subscribe to bead and button magazine and they did a color poll - orange was their reader's least favorite color! It's a challenging color to get right. I think also it can imply aggression and energy (and youth) so "kick-ass" as you say is appropriate.
the Becoming moment you choose it's simply perfection
I should make a list of what I consider the truly sublime Buffy-centric (and buffyverse) moments: "Me." "I'm Buffy, the Vampire Slayer. And you are?" are the top two, no question. (And that wordless exchange of looks in Showtime, of course.)
