2012 icon pregression.

[dixon]

This year I didn't made too much icons, because my computer broke and I haven't got money to fix it.
Thank God the last summer I found a job and I could buy a laptop. And that's why there's not icon post
between January and October. Too bad for me. I hope this year is the year of icons :D


»January.
I think I started here to play around with the light, and using a warm coloring in most of the icons.
And sometimes too much sharpening.

 
 
 
 

Caroline Forbes for 20ispirations

»October.
This month I went back from my long hiatus, and I discovered theiconquest, (thanks to messdestructionfor your help and your patience with me). This time I was experimenting with textures and even with composition (wich I'm terrible at)

 
 
 
 

Multifandom for theiconquest.

Here I was trying to make a palette, I like a lot this kind of palettes and I'll keep practising because I wasn't very satisfied with the result.

 
 
 
 



Another one.

Here I was trying to make something new, experimenting with gradient maps and lots of textures

 
 
 
 

Multifandom icon battle.

Here I started to play around with pale and natural coloring. I really like this coloring and I'm sure I'll make more of these this year.

 
 
 
 

Buffy/Angel & TVD for theiconquest.

»November.
Natural color all the way. But I was trying so hard to make them natural, that they seem too natural. Maybe I'm paranoid, but I think that they're even unquality :/

 
 
 
 

Multifandom icons for elites and more.

Topaz Clean! YAY! I started experimenting with it but in low dosis.

 
 
 
 

Cordy icon battle.

Again playing with the light and blue tones.

 
 
 
 

TVD for tvd_20in20.
Using a lot of textures. Did I mention that I love textures?

 
 
 
 

Lana Del Rey for musicians20in20.

Went back to pale. I like the result of these.

 
 
 
 

The Hunger Games for theiconquest.

»December.
Vibrant coloring and lots of textues. I like some, I hate the most.

 
 
 
 

Multifandom for tvcrush20in20.

Went back to Topaz Clean. 

 
 
 
 

Delena for couples20in20.

I used a lot of techniques in this post, they were mostly for theiconquest and other elites.

 
 
 
 

Multifandom for theiconquest and elites.

Again, experimenting with composition, vibrant coloring and topaz clean. Oh and don't forget the textures! :)

 
 
 
 

Multifandom for elites and icon remake.

And that's all! I hope this will be a better year! I love icons so much, I'm sure I will improve :D 
Thank you so much to all our watchers and members! NEW YEAR, NEW ICONS! :D
