55 ♦ 20 icons

[aeriiths.livejournal.com]

First of all, I'm so glad to see 20inspirations back! I've only managed to participate once before and kinda regretted not finishing my sets more often. This round's challenge was Adventures in Wonderland, and soon after starting my set I realised that I reallllyyyyy shoulda picked Kyousougiga or something instead because that would be perfect. Still, I claimed Fate/Zero S1, and I'm fairly happy with how they turned out?? I tried to push myself to do some stuff that I don't normally do and it was just really fun tbh.

I love the texture use in 4 and 5, the lighting in 6, 9, and 18, and I absolutely adore 12! Lovely colors in all!

Omg I looove #2, the red is amazing and the little dots around him is so graphical and aesthetic, I love it! #3 is all delicate and fitting. The light in #6 is amazing, we recognize instantly the character, I'm blown away by how pretty it is! #9 is also a great surprise, his hand looks like rock or marble, it adds a nice symbolism to it. The light in #11 is so perfect wow!

I love the lighting in #7 and the colours in #9! #11 is my favourite in the whole post, the colours are AMAZING! And #12 has fantastic composition and subtle textures! I also really like #13, red can be a hard colour to work with but you've completely nailed it! #17 is also really creative and I love the crop! What a great post, nicely done! :D

THESE ARE GORGEOUS!! ♥ ♥ I can't deal with these at all. The coloring, the textures, the compositions, ughhh everything's beautiful! Idek where to begin so imma try to keep this brief so I don't word vomit. #20 is absolutely beautiful. ♥ I love the combination of the vibrant colors, silhouette and geometric shapes. It is everything I could ever love in an icon and I am sincerely in love with it. ♥ The composition on #5's wonderful! It's so cool and original, I looooovvvveee what you did with it. THE COLORING ON #9!! ♥ HOW??? F/Z CAPS ARE A HUGE PAIN TO WORK WITH AND THEY HAVE THAT LIGHTING GOING ON AND HOOOOOOOOWWW DID YOU DO THIS COLORING???? It's so perfect and fuck I love the fact that you added the hand like that. The blending on #12 is so cool, I can not at how beautiful the coloring is too. I'm so sorry for this word vomit, I'm awful at saying what I want to say. :c All I know is that you made these gorgeous icons and that I want to give you an award for working with F/Z caps. F/Z caps (weeelllll any ufotable series for that matter) are a HUGE pain the ass to work with so awesome job. ♥ ♥ ALSO I FORGOT TO SAY I LOVE #3 AND IT'S FUCKING GORGEOUS. ♥

Edit: I did this dramatic spacing and I s2g LJ is not letting me have it. Just know there's dramatic spacing on the oh my god. I need you to know.

I know nothing about anime/manga, but 4, 5, & 8 are stunning

[watchpoint.livejournal.com]

these are gorgeous! i really love what you did with that spiral texture on 2, the overall composition of 4, and the blending of 10.

[shadedcolor.livejournal.com]

I like the soft coloring in this batch! I especially like #2 (great texture use), 6, 9, 17 and 20!

[coffeepinku.livejournal.com]

khbvihwfbi all the Iri icons *u* <3

[absolutelybatty.livejournal.com]

IT TOOK ME AWHILE TO GET HERE, BUT I GOT HERE IN THE END!! THESE ARE SO FABULOUS, AND YOUR BLENDING SKILLS ARE PERFECT. AND YOUR COLORING AND TEXTURE WORK ARE PERFECT. AND YOU ARE THE WORST; WHY ARE THESE SO PRETTY?????

*takes a deep breath*

Okay. So these are really great! As I said, your blending is beyond excellent! #1 and #12 are just gorgeous! There is this delicate thing that all your icons have (in terms of textures usually but...) that is sort of amplified in your blending I think. Like...the lines are so precise and clean and clear and they merge perfectly. So that is really awesome. And then you've done really wondrous things with decorative textures in this set as well. I really love #9 for instance! The coloring, first of all, is absolutely magical! I love the softness and the lack of contrast here. And the colors balance each other out perfect. And then there's that hand which I am assuming is a texture??? And it is placed so perfectly that I want to cry! It is beautiful! And there's also #8 which is definitely fantastic! I love the split screen here; you've used it really well even though it is the same cap. And the bug (bee, maybe?) really unites the whole thing, and the icon goes from simple and beautiful to OH MY GOSH THIS IS SUPER RAD in like the shortest amount of time possible. And then #14 is just so unbelievably gorgeous! SERIOUSLY. The stained glass window in the back + the wings + the gorgeous white and gold coloring? Absolutely radiant.

And your blues in this set are incredible as well! #18 is so, so lovely! I don't know if it is actually snowing in the cap or if that's just another instance of your brilliant eye for textures, but either way, the lighting just amplifies that aspect perfectly. And I've already spoken about #12 but I love the blues there especially with the little bit of purple up at the top. And #11 is just really fantastic! The negative space + the violence explosion/sparks down at the bottom play really well off of each other! And then #10! #10 is ridiculous! I love the split screen again; lovely cropping that really makes this the perfect composition. AND!! AND!! THE BORDER AT THE TOP!! I love borders, and this one is perfectly placed. And I do really love #5; the silhouette amongst the trees is just super great work, imo.

And then, to finish up, I also love #2, #6, and #13 for coloring and texture reasons. Great job, lovely! <3

Oh wow, so much gorgeous creativity in this post!! All of these are so out of the box and I love all the composition and texture magic in these.

Some of my favorites:
2 is ingenious, I love how the spiral texture fits the motion in the cap and the other textures are fantastic together too, love the background circle and the light paintiness too. 5 is super fascinating, love theblues and the tree textures. The light/dark split in 7 is fantastic, and omg the composition in 8 is so cool, love how the fly decoration ties the blocks together and the muted browns are gorgeous. So much love for the intense multicolor vibrancy in 9, and the hand texture(?) is an awesome imaginative detail and perfectly placed. Looove the blocking, cropping and the bright cyans in 10 and the sense of explosion in 11. The unusual color combination and the muted contrast in 16 look stunning and I absolutely adore the text, the arrangement and placement and font choices are spot on! 19 is so cool with the way the characters lurk in the darkness, excellent grunge icon, and I ADORE 20, it's seriously fantastic, I love textured silhouettes in general but this is seriously stellar because the geometric pattern is awesome and the star thing in the middle breaks the silhouette up and the effect is so creative and original.

Fantastic work!!
