Awesome work. I really like the video inspiration one a lot and no. 5 (category) also.

Oh wow, what a gorgeous set of icons! I'm so glad to see another icon post by you again, because you know how much I love your icons ;) There are just so many gorgeous icons in this post that I don't know where to start with pointing out some of my favourites. They're definitely very you and your general use of textures is simply stunning. I for instance love video inspiration and how you make that kind of texture/brush use work. Incredibly beautiful and I can totally see how it's inspired by the video. Oh and your entire category set is amazing. I love how all the icons also have this particular feel about them, which makes it really feel like a set. The use of the texture in especially cat2, cat3 and cat4 is amazing. I love the contrast in cat3 with the light textures and then the dark on her face- it just gets the emotion across. And the softness to cat4 is also stunning- such an incredibly haunting icon

Thank you so much, Christina!

I'm also really happy that you post icons again even though we don't seem to have the shows in common ^^ Did you struggle with the execution of the themes/the black & white category or was it easy for you? And do you still "icon" the way you used to or did something change considering techniques, routines etc.? This was my first 20in20 set and it was actually harder than I thought, especially the black & white part although I used to love making b&w icons. They just always wanted to stay colorful D:

Haha yeah we definitely don't have the shows in common that I've been making icons of, but hopefully in the future I'll make icons of some of the shows we have in common. I do have to make a Rosario Dawson set next week though so there's that ;) Ohhh no the execution of the themes and the b/w category was hard for me. I do think that the b/w category was easiest, because the show I did is terrible to colour so making it b/w just made it easier and I already knew the cropping I wanted. Finding the pictures was hard though, lol. And soooo many of the themes were hard. And I can so imagine that the b/w part was hard, especially if the icons want to stay colourful. I think this show is also quite colourful in general so maybe that is also an important factor? Which themes did you find the hardest

[no_delusion]

Oh yay, I'm looking forward to that :D I love Rosario in Daredevil even though she had way too less scenes. There's supposed to be a second season of it, isn't there? I hope she gets more screentime then, also as her own character and not only as the love interest of Matt. Even though I really like the dynamics and relationship between these two, she deserves more character development on her own.

I think Colour Use, Old Timey and Upside Down were the hardest for me. I'm still not really satisfied with the coloring in Old Timey and the rotation in Upside Down feels off but the challenging part was still fun :). It was also difficult to keep the exact shade of pink coloring in Color Use because the pink was rather subdued and I was tempted to add more contrast and/or light to give it more depth but oh, well. I still like how that icon turned out, though. How about you, which themes were the hardest

Lovely icons.
I really like color use, lyrics, texture, cat 1 and cat4. Nice work. :)
