I really like the first one, but I think 'Marcus Cole' is a little hard to read because of the dark spot behind it. Otherwise, it's really a beauty. =D
Wow, thanks for the compliment! You must have really liked my "Regrets" icon I made, because you made "Thinking of You" with the same kind of design and pictures. It's always interesting how different icon makers interpret the same idea :)
I made both icons a week back before I saw any others then forgot until I posted. I just checked the icon you were talking about and they are spookily similar. To be expected I suppose given the limited caps but I changed it anyway now you have pointed it out.
No need to change it. It's good to see variations of the same icon. I make slight variations for contests. But since you changed it, I like the one you substituted better, since I like blue :)
I like the animation of the first icon.
