Loving the text in 1. It's all 3D-ish and that lends itself so well to the pop art feel of the icon as well as to the fact that it's a sci-fi show! The bright colors totally give me a "happy surprise" vibe, and then I looked at your explanation and realized that was exatly what you strove for! :D
2 is just buttery and golden and such a joy to look at! It's drenched in dense, warm lighting. It's one of my faves here!
4 feels more like your usual more complicated stuff, which I love! The text work is fantastic, and I enjoy that it's hard to make out at first cuz it makes me focus more on what's going on. It's also great how the white texture contrasts against her beautiful, natural skin tone. Brown icons aren't easy to make so kudos on this one! <3
If I saw 6 without your name attached, I'd still know it was yours. It's very, very TOMMI! I love how that deep aqua blue contrasts with the sepia framing around the image. Gorgeous detailing with the cut off text as well. I love how you often cut off the text in your icons!
The crops in 7 are heavenly. I adore when the face cuts off on the right and you see the rest of it on the left. That's one of those quirks I've recently realized I enjoy. The 3D text also works nicely here against the pink that pops against her face!
Hello there, gorgeously muted blue in 17! How did you come about? You sure are pretty to look at! The lighting is exquisite there, too! It conveys the depth of their sadness so perfectly.
Excuse me while I vomit over your the7days stuff. It's insanely beautiful! 24 is creepy and haunting and looks like a Gothic portrait or something. Loooove the muted tones in 25. Reminds me of hauntes and the text is awesome, too! 31 makes me wanna slap you cuz it's too divine to exist. The coloring is fabulously subtle and low-key, and I adore how she's juxtaposed against the book cover! The orange and yellow background in 32 makes me wanna weep envious tears. 37 has just the fuckin' coolest composition! So clever to have used a bowtie silhouette and it has such an art pop feel to it with the bright, crazy color combo! The circular framing in 48 is just incredible and so is the text. WHY MUST YOU BE SO DAMN GOOD AT TEXT?! It also kills me in the Yoda icon. KILLS ME. The crop in 53 is killer and so aggressive and bold!
I kinda wish I could un-see this post cuz it makes me jealous of your skills. It truly does. Your rate of progress in composition and text just leaves me speechless. Okay, not quite cuz I'm obviously rambling, but IT SHOULD leave me speechless, and that's what's important! Even if you didn't feel quite inspired to make that 20insp batch, I commend you for pushing through and finishing it, and it's certainly different from your regular fare so clearly you challenged yourself. That's something extra to be proud of! It's really cool to see you deviate from your comfort zone and just keep learning new things. You told me about some of that stress you've recently endured, and I hope this past weekend went well so that you can breathe a bit more easily now. Just continue to grow and enjoy and experiment, Tommi, cuz you do it so fantastically! <333333333
