What a stunning post!! Seriously everything here is incredible. Especially the SPN icons. I'll def upload some if I ever get over this icon laziness phase haha. No seriously I still think about icons but I haven't really made any lately or even browsed posts at all, but this post happened to be on my feed at a great time, and I always love seeing your posts anyway cause everything is so inspiring and amazing.
Ok, some favorites: 5!!!! 5 is stunning. The coloring is beyond flawless. It might be my favorite icon here. There's just something really eye-catching about the way you colored her skin and everything and I keep wondering how you did it???? I mean it doesn't look like there was much to work with in the cap as far as colors go but somehow you made the colors really pop. Just, wow. I also love the fun compositions in 6 & 13, and the composition in 11 is ingenious, love the combination of silhouettes and blending and more silhouettes and textures :D so perfect! The purple textured look in 18 is super gorgeous as well and i adore the grunginess of 4 and 28 and basically all of the grungy icons, you're so good at using grunge. ALSO CAN WE TALK ABOUT ALL THE BRILLIANT CLOSE CROPS HERE?? The crops themselves are superb, esp 9, 17, 32, 34, but tbh close crop icons rarely catch my eye even if the crop is good, so its not just that. There's always something extra to your close crop icons which makes them eye-catching and I don't even really know what the secret ingredient is, it's like there's just something particularly flawless about them, maybe the contrast, I really love how striking the contrast is in icons like 9 and 16. there's this crisp, sharp clarity to them that I really dig! Love what you did with 23, the texture work is really creative. Annnd speaking of creative, what is the blocking magic in 31, 33, 37 & 38?? They're all wonderful, but especially 38, I love how the frame textures work with the blocks and the pale color scheme is super pretty. All the animated fandom icons look great too, I love the shiny/glowy look and the bright colors ofc! 49 is particularly great, love the speech bubble detail.
Awesome work again, I love how active you've been this year ♥
asjflg;b'sviisfhb k WOW what even is this comment, why are you so so sooo good to me ;A;
if I ever get over this icon laziness phase haha. No seriously I still think about icons but I haven't really made any lately or even browsed posts at all THIS.IS.ME. literally, i haven't even gotten over the lazy phase where i just reply to all these amazing comments, let alone make icons or even open photoshop. idk if it's the spring, or easter holidays or just idk me being a sloth, but i just /flops. LOL
i'm laughing, because i've noticed this always happens with you - you always point out and compliment my work when i'm trying some techniques i've learned from you or am heavily inspired by you! like in 5, the colouring, i was genuinely trying to follow what you said about colouring with gradients set to soft light :D i mean it's not even close to the icon colour i was aiming (your pale icons that won @ elitecimplicity (i think?), the purple ones). and 11, a complex icon, which you are the master of :3 i've actually stopped saving icon by icon from your posts and just screencap your batches and put them in my inspo folder, then go though it whenever i'm stuck or thirsty for complex icon inspo :P
also i'm gr9tly pleased to hear you compliment my crops, it's something i've been trying to focus more on and it's wonderful to hear it's working *high fives*
I love how active you've been this year LOL you said that and immediately, i fell into a slump of lazy and "not into photoshop mood" :D damn. i hope we both get back into icons c:
anyway, thank you SO MUCH for this lovely comment, it's put such a big smile on my face ♥
