#08 - Icon Battle with Discreets

[innocent_lexys]

Dear, Watchers!

The time has come to share the icon battle we had planned with Saskia discreets. I pretty much finished my icons today, as she sent me a message with her icons. I like how different our styles are, and it really shows below, even our cropping differs. :) While her icons are colouful and bold, mine are more on the natural side. Also, you

PLEASE TELL ME "FY" = "FUCK YOU" CUZ THAT WOULD BE AWESOME. I ALWAYS SAY FUCK YOU TO PEOPLE WHEN THEY AMAZE ME. HOPEFULLY, NO ONE'S EVER TAKEN IT THE WRONG WAY! ;P

OMG.

CRAZY LADY REPLIES WITH CRAZY AWESOME WORDS.

But of course I mention you, you know how much your art influences me and how inspired I am by you. ♥

NOT TO MENTION OUR SECRET BIZ. *coughs*

I am sure, Saskia will post soon as well. :)

OMG. YOU ARE USING IT. THANK YOU.
Really, really thank you, it is very rare that someone uses an icon of mine, so I feel special. BLOCKING IS FUN! I might have a new addiction... lol.

THE LIP ICON WAS CROPPED THAT WAY FOR YOU! Lol.

DAMN, THANK YOU, YOU CRAZY WOMAN, FOR EVERY DEAR COMPLIMENT.

Hm..., do you think I can decide for the post? Ask, it instead! :D

Your work is really changing and evolving with every single post. I absolutely love your battle icons.

That first B/W one (Daenarys?) is so beautiful and has just the right amount of contrast. The crop is exellent as well! The blue and neg space in your second piece are extraordinary! The yellow one underneath it has such a fantastic crop and so does the red piece right under that one. Your close crops keep getting better and better! I htink my fave though is the gorgeous and intimate look at Daenarys in the last icon in the first row of images you picked. Just phenomenally bright and well-lit! AMAZING!Your first alternate is so awesome. I like it just as much as your B/W entry!

I look forward to the PSD, my dear, and seeing how your brilliant mind works! :)

Also, you really did not need to mention me. Sari, I understand, and I absolutely see her inspiration here cuz you two ladies have the a similar sort of elegant aesthetic. Mine? A little too off the wall a lotta the time, really. If it can help free your mind though, that's fantastic, Lex! *hugs*

[innocent_lexys]

Oh, I certainly needed to mention you. You have been inspiring me with the mod post and your creativity is a blessing to all of us, mortals. Haha. :P

Yes, Sari's graphics and mine are crazy compatible with each other, we noticed that in our last battle. It's crazy in a very good way. XD I am glad you think my stuff is similar to her awesomeness. High praise, high praise.

Yes, maybe a little off the wall at times, but all those alternatives and all that work is really paying off for you. *hugs back*

I never even mean to come up with so many alternates, honestly. I just accidentally hit upon a look I feel is interesting, and I save it. I'm always trying a million things whenever I open PS, and then how can I help but have a million alternates? I wish makers showed off more of theirs so viewers could get a look at the many different ways they can work a signgle image!

[boo]

also ahhh i'm soo excited for teh upcoming posts, that zooey icon looks epic

[innocent_lexys]

Thank you for the lovely compliments! :)
I am happy you think so, it was an experiment, I was trying different blending techniques, and it seemed to be an interesting thing to try.
