Before I'll start talking about my 20insp Leverage batch, let me wish you a Happy Easter and two wonderful days!

This month's overall theme was Down The Rabbit Hole as in using unusual crops, colorings, compositions and whatsoever. I tried to work with anything I usually don't work with, use textures and fonts differently

GODDAMN! It amazes me how quickly people's skills can strengthen and develop! Just overall, you did a brilliant job with this round. That second icon? WTF! It looks all painted and sorrowful and angsty. I wouldn't even know it was from Leverage if I didn't know who was in it. I loooove the lighting in his skin. The whole piece is so earthy and rich! The first poshing icon is so cool. I love that I almost can't see Parker's expression through the blue haze. Obscured subjects are like crack to me! The crop in the first demoniac piece is absolutely outta control, and the text is an amazing focal point there! May I ask what font you used in that piece? Why, hello there, conflicting icon! Why is your green so sumptuous and rad? Another thing I adore is icons of people's backsides, and the darkness in his hair contrasts gorgeously against the bright green! It took a few seconds for my eyes to adjust to tumble and grasp what was going on, but now that I see what a lovely crop it is of Sophie, I'm stunned! The grunginess there is executed

HAPPY EASTER, BTW! :)

And whoa, look at that wall of text. Hope you don't get a headache reading it! :P

[monstersinyou]

Yeah, Happy Easter to you, too!
Nah, didn't get a headache, I was getting all excited. :D

NOW THAT'S ONE AWESOME COMMENT OVER THERE! :D
I am so, so, so glad you liked the icons so much and had so many awesome things to say about them. I feel very flattered. ;)
That demoniac icon is probably one of my faves from this batch. As for the text, I think I used Georgia, but I can check again if you want. I'm pretty sure it was Georgia, though.
As for the colorings, I honestly have no idea what I did to make the greens so bright, but I remember a lot of selective color layers. For this batch I've basically been playing around with LOADS of different colorings and tried many different things. After all, the theme's Down The Rabbit Hole, isn't it? ;) The photo icon probably reminds you of apologizeg's work because I was given a PSD by her, which I played around with to get that coloring

Ahhh, no wonder that coloring looked so similar! I've been meaning to try my hand at her pink coloring tut, and seeing your icon reminded me of that! Been experimenting with selective layers, too, to completely turn colorings inside out. It's working very well for you! UGH, when they show Sam dying and Nate screaming, it breaks my heart. You got that heartache across in 11 and 19!

Haha, I can send you the PSD tomorrow if you want it. It's awesome to play around with and it's just so beautiful.
Well, his heartache has inspired me a lot for some reason. Thank you once again. ♥

[library_of_sex]

No, it's fine, but thank you! I prefer to follow the steps myself and really try to grasp the process.

[monstersinyou]

Yeah, I should probably do that, too. But sometimes I'm just so lazy and with uni and stuff I usually play around with the PSDs to find out what all the different adjustment layers do. Leaving out stuff, changing settings, including textures etc etc.
