20 multifandom icons for inspired20in20
Teasers
Okay so I picked the ourobouros part the challenge at inspired20in20 this month and, basically, recreated 20 of my earliest icons that I still had the psds for. They dated from around July/August 2011 and to say that I stunned myself by how utterly dreadful some of these were is an understatement! What I mainly noticed was that I've moved from a tendency to use cool colours to a preference for warm ones (especially browns and yellows). When did that happen, brain?
I didn't have the screencaps for any of these saved and I joined the round a little late so I didn't really want to go looking for them so I used the original bases and crops. Since I've gotten used to working on a 200x200px canvas and then resizing, working on 100x100 was definitely challenging and more than a little disconcerting. Also I'm not completely happy about some of these since I felt like I missed some of the details and I also think that these are probably a bit too sharp (again with smaller canvas) but, on the whole, I think I've been able to show significant improvement over the past year or so. Hopefully you guys see it too :).

And here are the originals in case you want to compare. Beware: very bad text and colour combinations ahead!
