I've probably already told you how much I love most of these, as for the rest I love the rainbow!Rose icon, it's so beautiful! <3 Great composition in #2, I absolutely loved that show back in the day and I'm big fan of Russell Tovey since then (he has the cutest ears ever!!). The coloring in 3 is gorgeous, as is the text work and composition in #5. The color combination in #6 is one of my favourites and the shadows/lighting in the icon is great. The whole LOST set for 7days is amazing and although I've never watched Survivor these aussie guys are pretty hot :D
Totally get you on the icon dumps part, I've been trying to combine them with some sets for other challenges, but there are not many of them right now. And now of course I have to ask about the personal project, because I need some bad ideas myself :D

Ok, so here's my totally random project, it's a bit complicated but I hope it makes sense. It's a character focused rewatch/iconing project. Basically I have a list of 100 characters and ships (which don't have to be romantic, just any interesting relationship) that I like the most out of any shows. I then use some sort of method to pick one or multiple of these subjects at a time (usually one, but for a fixed-size set I like to pick them all at once). This selection method could be a random number generator, a game (I developed a board game that I sometimes play with thyla87 to determine our subject picks for a challenge set), or a semirandom method (my most used one is a simple algorithm of dividing my subjects into two random stacks, turning the two topmost cards and eliminating one of the stacks based on the subject at the top - I keep doing this halving of the stack until there's only one subject left ( ... )

Actually it's weird how similar and yet so different my iconing project is :D I started with 70 characters/ships and the goal is to make one icon of each for a total of 70 that will be posted at once. And although I don't have the rewatch part, I always end up rewatching some episodes (or sometimes seasons) which really slows my progression and now I'm little behind :/ It doesn't help that the first few icons ended up with text and I decided to go all in and make all 70 text icons :D
Random number generators are great, it always helps when I'm wondering what/who to icon and lately it's been more fun to make icons outside of challenges, there's no pressure :D

I love this style, the most complex compositions are the ones that amaze me more and more, I don't know how you can achieve similar results, as in 2, 11 and 19. I also love 21 (incredible coloring), and painting in 39. However, they are all masterpieces for me XD!
