firstly, thank you so so much for keeping the round open a bit longer for me, akilah92, i'm so glad i managed to get this in! i'm completely intimidated by everyone else's sets (holy crap are they good!) and feel like mine pales in comparison by leaps and bounds but these inspirations were simply too, well, inspiring to let go to waste!
20muses set, 10 Jessica Jones || 10 Daredevil
[inspirations]
.Inspirations.
1. & 2. Louise LeBourgeois. - The grungy, cool style is not at all similar to mine because I'm 1) terrible with grunge and 2) missing the vibrancy but I wanted something for every category so here's me pretending I am ~chill enough for this.
3 & 4. David Shillinglaw. - I never really do anything too bonkers because I always feel like it just looks, well, bonkers and not necessarily appealing so it was a challenge to try to match the complexity and busy nature of this artist (still held back though, lol), especially as I normally wouldn't (and even more especially as I tend to adore those icons even while feeling wholly incapable of making that sort of chaos work myself).
5 & 6. Fran Williams. This was an interesting one but I think it turned out really well (at least the first one!). I was amazed at how purposefully killing some of the details could up the emotional factor. That is not something I would've expected.
7 & 8. Alonsa Guevara. Ugh, this is 10,000% not my skillset, I suck at both stock textures - I pretty much never use them - and in this particular case I was having a lot of difficulty with close crops using the Daredevil caps but I really wanted to use 'erotic.' I don't think that one turned out near as terrible as it could have. As for the stock one, yeah. I'm gonna continue not to do those, for obvious reasons, lol. Least fave of the set right there, only knowing I couldn't do any better stopped me from remaking it 10,000 times.
9 & 10. SIT. Black and white icons, bane of my existence, but wherever there's an opportunity for practice - I figure I should take it. I honestly really liked how the Fisk one turned out ... That might just be because I need more Fisk icons in my life though.
11 & 12. Ian Francis. I had a lot more ambitions for these than what occurred, but I was mainly trying to pull off red, flame, and space here. The meeting of abstraction and figuartion did not go near as well. My brain is very small and very dumb.
13 & 14. Xue Liang. I tried (and failed) to make vintage-looking icons for this one and I knew this was my obvious opportunity for levels, so I jumped on that as well.
15 & 16 . Line Osmundsen. This was a fun one. Again, I don't use stock images but it was interesting working with geometric ones and I had nice pastel colors to fall back on. I seriously had no idea about the pastels, I really like those colors, guys.
17 & 18. Richard Whadcock. I definitely looked at this and saw 'obscure' so that is where I stuck for this one.
19 & 20. Alice X. Zhang. Well this is just me all over (even though I feel like you can't tell at all) - vibrance and intensity, yes, yes, yes.
in the future i probably need to remember not to enter challenges just to enter them and instead wait until i have inspiration for them, because i hate almost all of these >.>
