ANIMANGA BATTLE - THE REVEAL

[aeriiths.livejournal.com]

WE DID IT YOU GUYS. WE FINALLY GOT THERE. Here are the results of our animanga battle! Man, once the icons started to roll in I got really excited about making this post, but that was pretty much dampened when I started trying to code it. Sorry it's not beautifully laid out, but I'm sure the icons will make up for it!

I'VE PROBABLY MADE A BUNCH OF MISTAKES SO LET ME KNOW IN THE COMMENTS.

Well I have nothing else to say so uh. Check out these pretties and hover for the fandom!

I could live to be 100 and never get over how much I adore your coloring! That first icon is amazing, it's so inspiring to me! I love the black vs the color section, how bright it is and just everything about it, it's so amazingly creative! And the Pluto icon, wow, I love the color palette and the lighting so much, and the text is awesome! And the last icon, wooow. I swear, whenever you make an icon that is mainly all one color, you go all out and blow me away. I love the richness of the colors and how you've used the texture so much, it's so gorgeous!

emiels

I love how much depth you always manage to bring out in your animanga icons through shading, it's so impressive! That first icon is just perfect composition, I really like what you've done with the background especially because it is simple but has enough little things going on that it is never boring! And I'm super into the second icon, so creepy and awesome, I love how you have the purples at the top and the reds at the bottom, so good! The third icon is my favorite of yours, I love how dark it is with the lighting mainly to the side, it looks really cool, and I really love how you have the florals in the circle behind her instead of the whole thing, it just makes the icon stand out in a really neat way!

*write an entire book entitled Katy: How Do You Do the Thing* Seriously though, your icons amaze me, they are so unique and you cover so many different styles with ease. I love the first icon so much, the tans versus the yellow and the blending, its just so cool! And the second icon looks so simple but it is sooo stunning, I love how warm it is and the lighting is so nice. And the last icon is just so incredibly composed, I love how you've used the text as such a big part of the composition and the yellows~!

kayable

Your compositions are ridiculously perfect! I'm so glad you posted a bigger version of the blending icon the other day, I love getting to see behind the scenes of people who are so good at composition c: I lovelovelove the first icon here, the dark purple coloring is amazing and I adore how you've used the text and the upside-down subject! And the second icon *fans self* the b/w on the color background is amazing, I love how clean the b/w section is! And the last icon is just sooo pretty, I love the slight rotation and the colors look so nice together!

pamkips

Well, first of all, how dare you with these amazing compositions and colorings! That first icon is just so gorgeous, I love whenever you work with white on red, and I love how I discover more and more about the composition the longer I look! The second icon is my favorite, I love how pale it is and the text work is so perfect, I just love it completely! And that third icon just blows me away, I love how complex it is and the different colors! I really love how you have the cap of her looking back in the middle, it stands out perfectly!

petite_tomate

I love how cohesive every single one of your icons feels, with the coloring and lightning always perfectly attuned to the subject. The first icon I picked out is so cool, I love the curl of the text so that it fits the image and the reds vs purples with just little hints of orange/yellow! The second icon is my favorite, I love how you've used red in the text and the subject to create this complete mood, it is so cool! And that third icon is so pretty and happy, I love your texture work and how many different shades you've used!

I always look forward to the colors you choose, they are always so perfect for the caps in ways I would never think of! The first icon is a perfect example of that, I love the slightly-pale rainbow tones you've used for the text! I also really like how you've used the silhouettes! And the second icon, woooow, it's so completely perfect, I love the paleness in the background against the darkness of the subject non-face, so cool! And that last one is just so bright and gorgeous, I loove the blues and the clouds!

takonasu

I love your takes on all the themes! All these icons are so perfect for all of them, I love seeing how you interpreted everything into these really intricate icons! That first icon is so pretty, I love how you let the color of the texture really guide the icon, it looks sooo pretty! And I'm going to skip to the third icon for a moment, and say that I love how cute it is, and how the lighting is completely soft and wonderful. Now I'll go back to that second icon because holy crap, holy crap!!! That is so amazing and cool!!! Literally everything about that icon is perfect, I love it so much, the composition and how creepy it is and just everything!!! I'm in awe!


Thanks for putting this all together, Katy!! This activity was so much fun ;-; And the post looks really pretty, so hush :P

[superjesster.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much, Danielle! ahh, I'm glad you like the knb one bc I was so lazy with the silhouettes LOL. Confession: I didn't even cut anything out, I just picked a shadowy cap and used a gradient + duplicated the layer to make it look like a silhouette.

[aeriiths.livejournal.com]

omgomgomg thank you so much, so glad you like them! ♥ ngl that first icon you chose was the only one in the entire set where I had a plan laid out in my mind from the moment I looked at the theme post.

also: *write an entire book entitled Katy: How Do You Do the Thing*
