097: catch up with the other kids / even falling far behind

[library_of_sex]

After two months on hiatus, I got back to banging around on PS last week, and good fucking grief, it was an uphill battle bringing this batch to fruition! This is mainly due to the fact that I was dumb enough to challenge myself to use all the words and textures provided in the inspiration post (focused on the four elements: air, earth, fire, and

Aw man, and to think that just yesterday I was wondering where you were cause I hadn't seen a post from you in a while. Wish fulfilled! :D

First things first, Henry Cavill is just *_*

Air + innocence is really ridiculously pretty! I love the colouring, so pretty and soft, which course fits the theme perfectly! The composition of Earth + stable if pretty fantastic and I loved the muted colours! Fire + anger is just GUH. I love the intensity of the colouring and the purplish-red tones!

The blocking in Water + fresh is amazing, as is the colour and omg, Water + unstable is glorious. I like the geometric textures around him! 11 amd 18 from the alts are pretty awesome too!

All in all, excellent post! :D

I had to force myself to start this batch cuz I just haven't felt much inspiration or creative energy in the past 2 months. It's really comforting and heart-warming to find out someone actually noticed my absence! :D

Isn't he just divine? I marathoned The Tudors in July just so I could keep staring at his face! If you've never seen him in the TV adaptation of I Capture the Castle, it's a must-see cuz baby-faced Henry at 20 is just the most adorable thing the world has ever known.

I got a feeling that "air + innocence" icon might get good notice. I created it and thought, "Whoa! I made a normal-looking icon!" Laaaaaaaughing cuz "earth + stable" is my absolute least fave and thought it might get concrit rather than praise. I'm glad you like it! Blocking is THE DEVIL to me, so it's just fantastic to hear that you like "water + fresh," which took ages to make.

Thank you SO MUCH for your incredible comment, Pips. It's really started off my day beautifully and made the pain of putting this batch together totally worth the frustration! <3

Awwwww. <3

He really is. I havent seen any of his work but I kept seeing the red-carpet photos for the Man of Steel premieres and thinking, 'good lord, HE IS CARVED FROM MARBLE.' *_*

Haha, yes. That did make "air+innocence" instantly noticeable. :D

No problem at all! :D <#

When I first saw him last year, I thought he looked a lot like another fave of mine, Matt Bomer. I don't understand how human beings can be THAT good-looking. Have they sold their souls to Satan or something? The world may never know!

I should aim for a whole batch of what I deem to be "normal-looking" icons. That would probably make me cry though. Not enough patience for it! ;P

[applepips16]

Matt Bomer is another. He's just so perfect, I cannot deal. -_- And yes, they both have the black hair, blue eyes thing going on. Shit, they actually could be brothers. Insanely beautiful brothers who inspire envy and admiration. :O

Haha, you should sometime. It would be lovely to see the results. We all should actually, even though there will be blood, sweat and tears involved. :D

[library_of_sex]

Can you imagine them playing brothers in a movie or TV show? Screens all over the globe would melt from the utter hotness. I don't know if any of us could handle that!

We'd all be crying and rocking back and forth, asking ourselves why we ever thought we could make 20 simple and staightforward icons.

[applepips16]

That would be brain-melty. And AWESOME. :D

OMG. yes, there would be a lot of that. All the same, I know what I'm gonna do for my next post! Or at least die trying! :D

[library_of_sex]

We would all spontaneously combust from too much sexiness, and it would be EPIC.

Are you really gonna try? Hat's off to you cuz I could never do it! I get really bored when I can't use textures all over the place.

[applepips16]

I know! :D

I am gonna try my best. I may not succeed but it seems like a good way for me to push myself out of my comfort zone! :D

[library_of_sex]

Good for you! I look forward to seeing what becomes of this personal challenge you've set for yourself...

[applepips16]

Thanks! Here's hoping I dont crash and burn. :)

[library_of_sex]

No matter the outcome, at least you tried, which is more than some others can say. *coughcoughmecough*

[applepips16]

Aw, thank you! <3 And sure you could do it too! :D

[library_of_sex]

I would seriously cry of boredom and frustration. My muse is already flighty enough as it is, so I need to lure him back in, not scare him off more!

[applepips16]

Hahaha. Maybe someday then, when your muse if being a good and giving person. :D

[library_of_sex]

Crossing my fingers that he will settle down once more and stop leaving me!
