20 Star Wars icons  

Fandoms:
Star Wars (sequels) [20]



Here's my entry for the 17th round of [community profile] somein30. Just Normal mode this time, but I surprised myself by making a full set of 20. Full disclosure, I'm limiting my icon-making time radically from now on, so sets this big should be rare in the future (look I've spent SO MUCH of the past 11 years or so on icons, obsessing over every single pixel, I kind of want to focus on other things now), but then again these types of icons I can make pretty fast, so it wasn't a big deal this month. These are super super basic but imo that's nice balance after the complex set I made last time. So what you can expect in the future is either super simple sets like this one, or complex sets that have much fewer icons; I'll probably switch it up between these two modes cause I enjoy making both.

This time my subject of choice was Star Wars, I watched these three sequel films a while ago and kinda liked Kylo and Rey and I've been meaning to make some icons of them, and the technical theme of Bright vs Dark went so well with the obvious light vs dark themes between these characters, so, here you have it, ten bright Rey icons and ten dark Kylo icons. Very creative, I know xD

Feel free to use any, and let me know what you think ♥

It might be an obvious way to interpret the theme, but it definitely works ;)
I love the clean look of the light icons vs. the grungy one of the dark icons. The pastels of 1-10 are so pretty. The blending on 10 looks awesome.

These are great! I love the negative space and pastele colors on the light set - 2, 7, 8 and 9 are my faves! Also crop on 17, 18 and 19 looks cool!

Thank you s o much!! :D I specifically wanted to try using pastels for once, I had to really resist adding more vibrancy and making everything neon again.

I really love the light set so much. The solid pastel backgrounds and the subject flawlessly blended to it. And the way you have made the light set on Rey and the dark one on Kylo, the thematic message is powerful ( the whole light - dark , angel -devil parallels ).. I love how you've played with both the subject placement and zoom. Like in 1 and 3 full body and central crops. 2 with more zoomed in and central crop, and 5 with subject shifted to a corner. Also, the close crop, sharpening and the soft coloring of icon 7 is stunning. Composition of 10 is great with a whole zedi Rey with silhouette background .
The dark set is also amazing and I love the grungy textures , especially how there's a smattering of specks in 15, 16, 20, giving it a very spatial feel. My favs are 12, 15, 16 , 18 , 20. Yeah it's hard a pick just a few favs from your sets.

Awww thank you so much for the lovely comment, I'm glad and surprised you found so much to like in such a simple set. Thanks for taking the time :)

I almost didn't recognise your work without the intricate composition and text pieces - but that colouring, especially on 3, 8 and 9 is unmistakeable! Gorgeous use of colour throughout, and I love the cropping in the second Dark row!

Haha I know right, these barely look like they're mine at all! It was so hard not to make everything crowded and neon :D but honestly I really like making some minimalist icons too every once in a while and I'm super glad you liked the colors and crops! ♥

Lovely! Your pastel Rey icons are ridiculously charming.

Well, yes, those are super simple compared to your usual ultra complex compositions that regularly trigger my inferiority complex :D, BUT they are still amazing!

I love the floating in #1, the at once centered and not centered crop in #5, the coloring in #8 and #9, and the composition in #10. In the dark ones, I adore your grunge, as usual! My faves there are #11, #12, #16, and #19.

I really like the grunge and muted tones in the dark half, especially in the close and medium crops (11-13, 16-19). The dreamy pastels make 8 maybe my fave, though. I also like 7 and 9, the colours and close crops - the latter icon has the feeling of a 90s music vid.

This is such a perfect set for this challenge, and your colouring on the light is so good, and the lighting on dark is amazing.

Awesome job!

Their outfits really go with the way you used the theme!:D
Really like icons 3,5 and 10. The dark set-what a gorgeous set! The use of that gritty texture is awesome! Crops in 15 and 16 are <3

Such a strong vibe to the Kylo Ren batch! Beautiful use of shadows and textures. And I absolutely adore everything about #9.

I love how they all fit together so well. It's tallented because you did both bright and dark.

I love the pastel coloring on bright ones!<3 The sharpening is fantastic, esp. 9, 7, 5. I love the crop also on 9. 10 is stunning; love the crop, blending, and texture use. I also love yellow/purple color theme on 3.
Dark; Texture use is wonderful and I love your sharpening skill! I have trouble with that. I adore the close crop on 16-19!!♥ I love the color on 15.
Thanks so much for entering :)
