I managed to finish my claim for 20inspirations pretty easily considering I started it less than a week ago. I chose simplicity because it's something I have a lot of trouble with. Simply put (no pun intended) I don't know when to stop. I just keep adding stuff because I fear it'll look dull or to cover up bits and pieced that I dislike ( Read more... )

YAY, A THOMAS ICON!~

Anyway, these are gorgeous! I think you did great with the theme and all the self restrain, even the more complex icons like #19 and #15 look visually clean and simple. I also love the colours and the composition in #08 a nd the cropping of #06 and #12's everything!

LOL. I meant to do more, but I can't get used to him in an uniform... XD

THANKS! It really gave me an excuse to give it a go to loads of techniques I've always been curious to try out. And I'm glad #15 isn't too much, I was a bit afraid it would be, same with #20. Then I can't NOT blend, so... Haha.

PAULA, EVERYTHING ABOUT 8 IS MAGIC. It's so incredible, with the pastel colours and the composition and everything. #13 is wow. The greens, and the sharpness. It's perfection. I love, love the texture use and colours in #18 as well. They are so intense, and the composition really highlights the emotion. STUNNING BB <3

THANKS!! &HEARTS; I've always wanted to make an icon like #08, but it's so not my style that I was afraid it'd look like I was copying emily_reich (who's the queen of these). But since this was about trying new things, I thought "to hell with it!". I'm pretty fucking proud of it too.

Also, plain color squares are my new favourites. Both 13 and 18 were complete messes, but those squares magically made them work!

These are really lovely, so simple and yet so complex. :3

SIMPLE ICONS ARE REALLY DIFFICULT, I FEEL YOU, BB ( ... )

NOTHING IN THIS POST LOOKS DULL, PAULA. NOTHING.
PHEW. Hahaha.

First... AWESOME DETAILED COMMENT IS AWESOME.

Second... THANKS. Both #2 and 13# were icons that had me doubting till the last minute. I thought her skin color in #2 was too unnatural and that the sharpness in #13 took away from the cap's cool play on lights. But you know how it is, you look at something long enough you'll find flaws everywhere! SO THANK YOU FOR MAKING ME APPRECIATE MY SADLY UNAPPRECIATED ICONS.

Third... GIRL, YOU HAVE TO WATCH DOWNTON ABBEY.
