endearest / mm3butterfly / fuuurs Your Font: Times actually. And INTRO, I guess, tho, I've been using it less lately. Times 4 ever. which is hilarious since I usually hate it for anything else, but it's just perfect for icons! . And in any case, I try not to get married to any~~ Your Weakness: my colouring, my texture use, my blending (good old classic blending specially), (good old) negative space, my inconsistent contrast and sharpening. my innability to know what I did just three seconds ago to the icon I just did.
schryosel / pamkips / theotherayn / raiindust / 12feethigh LIYM: Ush, I'm making one of the challenges of theiconquest (who knows when I finish it T_T - I'm taking it slowlyyyyyyy), and this happened last night (?) ps. if you don't know it, it's not just random, it's a quote~
The top 5:
MAH BABIES.
ICON-GAMES ---- Icon- Remakes: Top-5-Something: this might take loooong tho.
The icon says "I hate yoga", doesn't it? It looks AWESOME (just needs a bit more sharpening). Personally, I have a lot of trouble with sharpening. My icons always end up looking too grainy, so I add a blur layer, but then that makes it too blurry, even when I play with the opacity. What gives??
Gosh, when it comes to icon challenges, I'm always slow. I just hate deadlines. Although theiconquest doesn't have a deadline, I still find it hard to quickly whip up a batch of icons. Some makers get theirs finished soooo quickly, and I'm just like, "Uh, I only made one so far..."
Oh, and you're one of my fave makers, btw. (P.S. The 3rd icon of your Top 5 is amazing on multiple levels: 1. PERFECT close cropping, 2. PERFECT CONTRAST, 3. PERFECT use of muted colors.)
It does~ It was some crazy idiotic thing. And oh, now that you say so, I think I never added back the sharpening layer after I changed sth! Oops. My biggest problem is never knowing when I'm going too much tbh, U have so ma ny ways of sharpening and usually involes quite a few layers but I never follow any reasoning as to why I use whatever method I use.
Oh I tend to vary, depends a lot of what's going on in RL. I might finish sth in a few hours, or take forever. I have quite a few of theiconquest quests started but never finished, but this one I plan to, it's just that I can pop all the text only icons at the same time and that's what I wanna do ;D
Where did that list of weaknesses come from? We have vastly different views on your icons, clearly! Your colouring especially is one of my favourite things ever, because it's so beautiful and clear and distinctive and amazing.
I LOVE YOGA. But I also really, really like that icon, lol. It's so incredibly clever and fun! Annnnnd the second icon from your top 5 is so staggeringly perfect, I can't even. I have been so in awe of it since forever!
Top 5 Suits... screencaps? Characters? Rachel/Mike moments. Something Suits related!
IDK, I just don't tend to feel comfortable at it, sometiems I like it, sometimes I feel meh, sometimes I hate it, so I'm pretty inconsistent and and one of the things I'm most insecure about!
LOL, I don't have feelings whatsoever about yoga tbh LOL. But it was a really weird late night idea ;DDD Tbh, I'm still not sure how the hell I managed that 2nd icon :D.
OH. I think I can do something of that, I'm gonna keep options open, but probs won 't be the first, AS PRETTY AS THE SHOW IS I HATE ITS CAPS, like. IDK. WORST THING EVER. (Tho I'm liking them more this season~~) :DDDDDD
IDK, I just don't tend to feel comfortable at it, sometiems I like it, sometimes I feel meh, sometimes I hate it, so I'm pretty inconsistent and and one of the things I'm most insecure about! Isn't this everyone when they icon though? I mean, I guess that comes with being creative, and the second-guessing nature that is kinda instinct. In any case, I adore your colouring :)
It's crazy creative, and I think weird late nights tend to have that result a lot of the time!
tbh I've been more than slightly afraid to venture into the caps, because idk where I would go with them. I should be brave and suck it up, but it's nice to hear this seasons caps are nicer, that's always a plus!
I guess,,, it still feels the place where I need to work more. And the one where I can tell the less if I'm going right or wrong . And ♥.
IAnd now I might do the first LOL. maybe just this season. Way too many eps and caps would kill my mind IDK. IDK. I'll see what I can do when I sit myself behind ps :DDDDD But yey suits ♥
Hello! They say better late than never, so... here. (i'm sorry i ended up being something else completely but I just couldn't get my mind to actually pick the rest XD).
YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU, CRAZY LOBSTER, SHUT UP YOUR PRETY FACE AND LISTEN TO ME. why on earth would you say your weakness is your....whaaat? i beg your pardon? coluring? texture use? sharpening? get out of my way or i swear i....asdfgjklñ you. that's it.
You know i'm so grateful to be on your fave list, praise list and in every one of your lists, actually :) THE TOP5 IS MAKING ME CRY. LOOK AT THAT PRETTIES. LOOK AT THAT.
So, i'm gonna challenge you. Remake that Tasha/Hal icon OR top5 sexy beast hal yorke. (i hope you understand where i said "or" i was meaning "and" :D)
GOSH, that hal/tasha, WHY WHY THAT ONE. LIKE. everything I might do will look meh and duh and etc because that was a one time thing. BUT IM A TRY. ONLY BECAUSE HAL/TASHA. And of course I like the other top5, so... consider it done :DDDDDD
I will, and you knwo I *will* do that remake. (actually I made it, but I'm still pretty unsure about it) BUUUUT I want to lure you back with some top 5 sexy beast hal here :DD
