What a fantastic set for the theme, and a great first entry at monthlyinspo! Ugh I totally hear you about the time... 5 graphics in a day is still pretty good imo! I can only do that if I literally take the whole day for icons, otherwise it's more like... 3 on a good day .__. But I really hope you'll find some time to enter other rounds as well because this set is magnificent ( ... )

This comment is just precious!!! THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH for all your kind words and appreciation! ♥

I'm so relieved that you relate about the time in making icons! I agree with you: 5 is my maximum and, as you said, I have to dedicate them the whole day or just be super inspired!

About the neon colored icons, I was just getting bored with all those dark icons and I was inspired both by neo-noir aesthetics and by the glamour & fashion of the era. So I'm very happy that you like them!

I'm also happy that you appreciate the chiaroscuro ones, because, as I said, I just love this technique and the icons made in this style.

Thank you so much for all your praises and I really hope I can enter again in the future: your words really helped! Gah, the next challenge seems so creative and interesting!

This is fantastic!
the use of effect on shadows and hilights to make a duality in the icon is gorgeous! Favs are: 1,3,5,14 and 19!
Awesome job!

These are lovely! The neon colours on 12 and 13 are fantastic, and I really like the crop on 17, 19 and 4. :D

Hi, I'm actually commenting here because I wanted to know if it would be okay for me to snag this icon that you made for movieslims a while back. I'm not sure what the etiquette is for icons made for icon battle type activities. It's such a pretty icon, though, and I've been looking for one of Heimdall. :)

Hi! Yes, of course, you can snag it! I just hadn't time to post it here, on my personal journal, but you can use it!
Just credit me as usual! :)

Will do! :)

Thank you! Glad you like that icon! ♥
