Hi!
I like Tick the button and Monsters. Maybe pros will say - one button is not OK, make set.
Love new - oh-oh, I don't like colors and concept is not clear (IMHO).
Save the world - leaves are not OK definitely. Also pictute looks like sketch...like you were in hurry, just to finish and forget.
Diamonds are OK for me but I am afraid words as main (or almost main)part of image are not welcome.
Fall leaves are cool - but did you make this brush yourself? This question just jumps out when you see disharmony between nice leaves and acorns and rough sketchy branches.
Grunge leaves - uhh, I can't see leaves, sorry. Looks like porridge.
Cupid background is nice, but it is not background - where is copy space? It looks like poster.
Scribble - LCV and overly simply.
I'm sorry again, it is just my meaning. Nothing personal, a?
P.S.Theo, where are you?

Mjak - doing meatword stuff and lurking. And now feeling worried by why I'm being called into service. It's because I'm opinionated, isn't it? ;)

Okay, my opinion:

GrungeLeaves2 - No. I'd give this a Low Commercial Value reject. There may also be technical problems with the file if you've autoscanned something and not cleaned it up afterwards.

Cupid Background - Maybe. Personally, I'd take the cupid out of the heart and rejig the whole thing so rather than a rectangle, you've got a standalone image which can be put onto anything.

BlueGrungeScribble - Not for the first 10. The image is fine, but it's even odds on whether it would get a Too Many On Site or a Too Simple rejection.

LittleOneEyedMonster - Yes!

Diamonds - I'd say no, but I can also see it getting accepted on a good day. There are limited uses for this file so you could get the LCV rejection. I wouldn't for the first 10, maybe try it once you're in.

FallleavesandBranches - I echo Mjak. Is this a brush of your own creation or what? Even if it is, I don't like this one. I can't really see what it's supposed to be. It's some brown lines on top of some leaf shapes.

LoveNew - Maybe. It's a real borderline Too Simple for me, which combined with the amount of Grunge stuff on the Database is probably a rejection. I'd put it in the After You Get Accepted pile.

Tickonbutton - Nearly. The perspective at the front isn't matching the perspective at the back. The black line is what's throwing me. At the sides it looks as though it's supposed to be a line through the middle of the disk, but at the front it looks like it's supposed to be the division between the top surface and the front edge. You could - to be extra certain - do a double set with an X and an appropriate change to the world. It's worth doing because it will sell better and won't be much extra work.

SaveTheWord - Again, nearly. You've got perspective problems again. The top of the plant pot should have the same viability as the top of the globe. Illustrator has all sorts of extrude and rotate 3d jigging tools. Use them to create a fame of reference to get the perspective correct. Also, the leaves, another brush? If it's not your own, you can't use it.

Hope this helps and good luck with it.

I'm not sure I'd chance an application with these. I think the monsters definitely have the most potential. You could probably salvage the cupid and the button too. The rest I'd probably not bother reworking.

I'm fairly picky though and it's not me you have to convince. ;)

Totally love the monsters.

Too bad you don't have a alphabet and numeral version.

Hay maybe that should be your thing? Make different themed sets featuring your cute monsters?
:D

Thanks alot for all the great replies I love it to hear what people think, I'm realy also not sur about most of these but I'm for sure going to add the monsters to my first ten.

the tree is not a brush I just drew the leaves and duplicated, I work in corel draw x3 and is working on learning illistrator. but to come back, the faal leaves is a brush though and not all mine so I'll just scrap it totaly.
Thanks again I'll repost some again later...
