Here's my entry for somein30 round 13: Icon crossing, where the idea was to "cross" random pairs of our own previous icons. I used Extra hard mode, where even the screencaps had to be recycled from one of the parent icons. This was a huge time saver, since I didn't have to do much screencap hunting - maybe extra hard was the easiest mode actually :D
You can see the parent icons under the spoiler cut - warning though that some of them are butt-ugly (looking at you, parent 9.2!)... Hopefully the new versions work better, although some of them are kinda crazy as well, I mean, if your parents are the freaking fifth pair, the child will come out weird ok xD Anyway, it was super nostalgic to see these old icons again and nice to even see some progress after all. Because of the random parents, the styles in this post had to be a mix as well - I usually prefer to make cohesive sets, but embraced the variety here, hopefully that means there will be at least something for everyone! :)

The biggest surprise for me was that there were so many DW icons in the parents, I expected to see more LOST. Has DW been my main iconing fandom after all?

If you like something, please let me know, and and all comments are super appreciated! ♥ And feel free to use any of these of course. Also, happy new year to everyone!!

Oh. My. God. Where do I even start?

I'm sure others have said it before but you must be the reigning master supreme of blocking or something. It's something I associate with your icons and something you seem to pull off so effortlessly. 13 in particular is just, I don't know. It's just wow. I also really love the simpler composition in 1 and 11. The cleanliness of 1 in particular is really eye-catching. Or maybe it's the complementary colours? Either way, it's a really pretty icon.

I love the crop, monochrome and text work in 2 and 16, the muted colours in those and in 12 are incredibly lovely.

I think you're actually just the master supreme of composition to be honest. The longer I look at these icons the more I find to love. 17 and 18 fly under the radar at first glance but after a few moments my eyes just keep getting drawn back to them. There's so little to fault on either of them. Composition, colouring, they're got it all!

My absolute favourite of this entire set, though, I think is 5. I honestly don't know how you pulled it off but everything about it is just wow. The painted effect is spot on execution wise, the colour choices are perfect, the brightness and sharpness are also incredible. It's just a really, really phenomenal icon ❤️

Omg thank you so much!! ♥ I'm so glad someone appreciates the craziness going on in 5, that's the kind of icon that's definitely not for everyone but I'm sooo happy you think I pulled it off, it's so far from my usual bag of tricks, I can only think of a couple other cases where I tried something similar.

As for the blocking, 13 was heavily inspired by good old school blocking masters such as prettybutt. Tbh this texture did almost all the work but I'm so glad you like the result!

And I'm just so flattered you like so many aspects of these, it's always so great to hear your thoughts. It's crazy to think that we first interacted TEN YEARS AGO (holy shit, has it really been that long??), when I for some reason tried to give you concrit even though I was soooo new and bad at icons and had no idea what I was talking about xD
