These are wonderful! Several of these are now in my icon folder just waiting to be used now XD
My you make VK artwork look hip, and also not-dark. The coloring on the full-colored version is beautiful~
Also, the yellow SE icon is MINE! Love at first sight.
also, how exactly do you do this battle-type thing? It looks like fun, and I would love to try it out with some of my friends~
that is.... after my hiatus /cries

AWWWW, that makes me happy. :,D Thank you! Ahaahahaha is it really? I don't keep up with VK at all so I don't know how the artwork really works exactly. I'm glad I didn't butcher it completely. lD
OHHHHHHHH TY, SO GLAD YOU LIKED IT. I wound up being dumb & recoloring it all after I couldn't get it to work.

Okay I'm going to word vomit here rn so bear with me. Basically icon battles are what they sound like, icon battles. You pick a person or group of people & set a couple themes. These themes can range from technical things (like negative space, color, close crops, etc) or actual scans. Whatever you pick, you icon. For example Emily & I decided on an image battle so we picked 10 images each (20 tops) and iconned all 20 images. :3 Eventually you post all the icons, either together so people can awe at the pretty or separately. (Most image battles are self explanatory tbh.) For technical ones you just icon whatever themes you set. It doesn't have to be fandom specific, that is unless you want it to. I HOPE THAT MADE SENSE? LORD KNOWS ( ... )

I think perhaps it's better sometimes not to be familiar with an artstyle, because it allows you to be creative.

Oh, thank you for explaining~ That's pretty simple after all XD
LOL, I miss iconning so bad, I'm glad I only have a week and some odd days to go. I saw the themes at animanlims, and I'm so disappointed that I couldn't join in DX

Yep, I totally understand that feeling.

I'm very excited to get back to work. I have a to-do list like you wouldn't believe XD
Now what would be a bummer, is if I go and miss the sign ups at otp20in20 after looking so forward to doing a 20in20 all month....
