leverage.

I am just in time with my latest batch. This one's for yet another 20insp challenge. I thought this was a very tough one because I had to design 20 black and white icons and after like half of them I got a little tired of black and white and having no color at all. I think I did a pretty good job on some of them, but there's other icons I'm not too ( Read more... )

type: 20in20, !20insp, tv show: leverage

I adore the fact that you and I are pretty much iconizing this show season by season. I just did S1 for my own batch!

tihana - Excellent blocking and the grainy texturing illuminates the fierce expression on Eliot's face!
elegance - Holy shit. The crop is bonkers in the best possible way! I love all that vast cheek space and the text nestled on it.
blockade - Beautiful combo of crops and wonderful contrast, too!
negative - I adore the cleanliness of this icon and the stacking of the images. The small black border at the bottom is a fantastic detail that really rounds out the entire piece and makes it feel balanced!
theme (3rd one) - The circle framing Hardison's gorgeous face makes such a perfect and simple composition. Great lighting as well!
juanxyo - Adore the contrast and blocking here. It's very nice and sharp!

THIS BATCH IS AWWWWWWWWWWESOME!

I think the fact we're doing this is pretty awesome, too. I was thinking about doing Jennifer Lawrence or another TV show for next round, but I might as well go for Leverage season 3. :D

Thank you so, so much for your comment and sweet words on the icons. I've been playing around with the blocking in tihana and blockade for so long, glad they turned out nicely. :)

THANK YOU FOR YOUR AWESOME COMMENT, LOVE!!! ♥

Yeah, I might do S4 next since S2 still isn't up at grande-caps yet, and I don't feel like DLing huge zip files. It's really cool to see how differently people interpret the same words. I love what you did with "blockade" cuz it involves actual blending, which I didn't do in my own version of that prompt.

BUT OF COURSE! I'M SO EXCITED TO SEE WHATEVER OTHER LEVERAGE GOODIES YOU HAVE IN STORE FOR MAY!

But season 2 caps are up here. I actually think it was you who gave me that link in the first place. ;)
I might have to stop iconing Leverage or go back to season 1 or 2 once I'm done with season 3 because I still haven't watched any season 4 episodes. German TV's still broadcasting season 3. :D

It's always awesome to see different people interpreting the same prompt differently, especially when they're iconing the same fandom like we do. :) Can't wait to see what we're coming up with next month.

I've actually got another Leverage batch coming up for big20in20. :)

Ugh, I've seen so many gorgeous Leverage icons lately. I feel incredibly tempted to watch the show, seriously. XD

I love, love, love elegance! The composition is absolutely ingenious! The unusual crop makes the icon an instant standout, and the typography fills up the empty space very nicely. This is going in my Inspiration folder!

Also, the texture use in that second theme icon is stunning, and I'm loving the lighting in juanxyo. :) Great job!

Well, you really should watch the show, it's amazing!

Wow, thank you so, so much. I'm so glad you liked the icons and I do appreciate your amazing comment. Thank you! And my icon going into your inspiration folder, eek! Now that's AWESOME NEWS! :D

Once again, thank you very much for dropping a comment. :)
