I got so excited because I know you said you were waiting until you had enough Hook Once icons to post them so I didn't even read the fandom list before I clicked into the post. THE GOOD NEWS IS THAT IT IS OKAY THAT I WAS WRONG ABOUT WHAT WAS GOING TO BE IN THE POST BECAUSE EVERYTHING IS SUPER PRETTY.

The coloring in 05, 09, and 10 of the Chuck icons is just sublime. Seriously, gorgeous coloring in all three of those. The slightly monochrome nature of 10 is especially impressive because those warmer colors are so easily over saturated but yours aren't. So it is just delightful! And then the crop in 17 is slaying me. WOW. Really effective obscure crop without losing the ability to identify the character! All the Supernatural ones are amazing as well. You work incredibly well with those types of greens, I think. Slightly darker and gritter. 32 and 37, in particular, are quite amazing coloring wise 9and 37's crop rocks as well). And color awards to 39 and 43 as well; super pretty!

Lucky, lucky requesters! And I am super glad your muse is back, bb! <3

LOL Sorry to get your hopes up! But my next post is gonna have Once so at least there's that? Yes? My muse has been pestering me about getting back to those so...yeah. XD Someone needs to make another post in tpp so I can get more caps.

I loved working with the Chuck caps(which is why there are so many of them lol), because they were super challenging but really rewarding in the end. It's been a while since I tried more subtle and natural colorings so it was nice to know I can still do them.

It's funny because I do not like greens at all. I do IRL but I hate working with them in icons because I'm too terrified of making someone look sickly lol. But SPN lends itself to green so well, especially in The End. And looking back over this post I see a lot of green so apparently my subconscious likes it way more than my conscious.

Don't tell 34, but 37 is my favorite of the whole batch, I think. I'm just so proud because that cap is a pain in the ass to work with and it's been done quite a bit and I wanted to do something different and experimental with cropping and coloring and...well, I ended up loving it. And I got a little concrit help on a_i so. :D

Do you watch Primeval? I can't remember. You should, because dinosaurs and sassy people from the UK all run amok with each other.
