The Fayth icons were my favorites, as well. That art is positively gorgeous. (I wish there were more Aeons so there would be more pretty fayth art! I had to sub in the Zanarkand fayth since I ran out of Aeon fayth.) Glad you liked the coloring, I had to do some pretty heavy tweaking with Ifrit and Ixion - they started out more reddish and blueish.

It really is weird~ My Violet icon is one of my absolute favorite icons I've EVER made, so I was really sad when it didn't win.

I am sad that we didn't have a voting on the entire set of 20, though.
