069: i woke up one morning / all my fingers rotting

[library_of_sex]

I know it's been a few months since I've posted, but laziness tends to trump everything else where I'm concerned. As always, please find it in your lovely hearts to forgive me! Now, I'd planned to present a multi-fandom entry for my return, but halfway through making my second and latest 20inspirations entry batch, I realized my alternate/variation-loving ass

Oh, these are gorgeous! I really love 5, 6, 17, 71 and 77 especially. ♥

Erasing bits of the texture in #71 was so annoying. I'm glad it at least got someone's notice! :)

Thank you so very much for taking time to comment, Liz! <3

Wow, Kim. I think this is far best of your icon posts! You have improved so so so much! I am really impressed.

I really like the colours and the texture use on the following icons:
#5, #6, #7, #10, #13, #17, #18, #19, #20 and #76.

The following icons I adore for the composition, texture and text use:
#6, #6, #10, #13, #14, #16, #18, #19, #20, #27, #51, #60, #61, #69, #75, #76 and my absolute favourite for unique texture use #77!

Good job, keep creative! :)

Yours is one of those comments that kinda makes me wanna tear up cuz it's astounding to think anyone would willingly take time to examine my work and really think about why they like something. Thank you for making me feel so appreciated, Lex. You have no idea how motivating and gratifying your comment is. <3

Also, #77 was probably the easiest thing to make here! I'm laughing that you enjoy the texture so much cuz it's just one of pandavirus' large ones cropped down and set to Screen!

Once in a while we all deserve such comments, and you worked for it, you are creative and your colours are brilliant! I like to leave more detailed comments when I take my time. :) I am glad it made you happy, as happy as you made your watchers with you posting. <3

I'm not sure I can face your longer comments down there. I get the feeling you really do want me to burst into happy tears, Lex.

Oh my lord, #20 in particular is so, so gorgeous. It's exactly what I look for when I'm searching for a complex icon. Great work, Kim!

[library_of_sex]

I'm absolutely floored by the response to #20 so far! That was only gonna be an alternate, but when I realized I had an icon that I really didn't like anymore, #20 had to step up and fill in a spot. So thrilled that you enjoy it, babe! HOORAY!!!!!! <3

KIM. SERIOUSLY

[library_of_sex]

Funny that people enjoy #77 so much cuz that's the easiest one to make! B/W gradient map + pinkish texture on Linear Burn (or is it Color Burn?) + pandavirus texture = 77! #14 wasn't too tough either. All the credit goes to the textures that add the color!

Yeah, when I do the flip upside down thing, like in #13, I usually try to cover part of the flipped image, so it's not just repetitive. It's like I got a different crop except not really.

NECKPORN! HEE!!!!!!!!! <333333333

I FORGOT TO MENTION 67 AND 52. RED DOES THINGS TO ME.

Mostly I love how these are just variations on a crop but you've put them together in such an interesting way.

DUDE, RED AND YELLOW HAVE BEEN MY STANDARD FOR MONTHS NOW. IF I COULD MARRY THEM, I PROBABLY WOULD. EVEN IF THAT MADE ME A POLYGAMIST. AND CRAZY. CUZ WHO THE FUCK MARRIES COLORS? THEY'RE ABSTRACT!

Thank you so much. I've been told that including so many variations makes me look indecisive or like I'm trying to fatten up a post, but the truth is 1) Hell yeah, I'm indecisive! I leave the choosing to others, and 2) I never need to fatten up posts. It's all I can do to keep mine from exploding cuz I always have way too many to present!

I absolutely grinned when I saw the notification for this, Leila! <3
