Ok, so I made some Martha icons for the 22nd round of 20inspirations. The theme of the round was mood ring, meaning the colorings had to go with the mood of the image. There's an explanation of the moods behind a spoiler cut.
Um, I don't have much to say about this set, the challenge itself was awesome but major RL stress has been eating away my inspiration and the result doesn't feel like 'me' at all save for a few icons. Then again it was kinda fun too to make some simpler and more lighting-y icons for a change, I think that also helped me highlight the moods better, but at the same time I don't think I'll continue in this direction, and while I think they're nice enough, I don't think it's the best I could have done. So yeah, not sure what to think of this set, but I hope someone will like some of these :D

Moods:
1 - pleasantly surprised, thrilled, can't believe her eyes; really vibrant neon color explosions.
2 - joy; yellow
3 - attraction; pink
4 - sense of togetherness, hope; earthy, warm browns
5 - 'blank', neutral, casual; muted, light browns
6 - appreciation of the past, respect, subdued sadness. wow, what a weird description, it makes more sense when you know the scene (from the end of Family of Blood). Anyway I chose a toned down vintage coloring with a bit of muted turquoise (which reminds me of the 'subdued sadness' part).
7 - confused; a conflict of colors, a weird combination of dark green and pale orange.
8 - worried; also turquoise but deeper and darker than in the vintage icon.
9-11 - defiance; (darkish) orange. Martha is at her best with this emotion imo, which is why I made three for it. In 9 it even looks like she's eyerolling at The Master :D 10 and 11 are from the same episode too, she's really defiant and determined against The Master and as much as I love the guy, Martha is really awesome and HBIC in those scenes.
12 - anger; red
13 - anger, action/fight. Reds and oranges.
14 - mysterious; purple
15 - surreal, weirded out; a really weird, unnatural neon color combination.
16 - scared, distressed; black
17 - quiet sadness; really pale blue
18 - melancholy, loneliness; deeper blue
19 - indescribable sort of melancholy, a bit surreal - they're looking at the ruins of a past civilization. I associate that with really muted and dark blue/purple tones.
20 - desperation, deep sadness; darkness, blue tones, pale/colorless

Then there's a dump of stuff I've been posting to various comms, mostly the7days. Most of these I'm actually really happy with and proud of; they were for the most part made in a burst of inspiration, which I really really hope will return soon :p

Yay, that sounds awesome! Can't wait to see them :)

Ugh, I have to admit I haven't made anything at all this far. Which sucks cause I'd like to complete at least 10 or 15, but I might have to be the underachiever who posts just one little set :p welll I'll try to be optimistic and aim for at least 10 but we'll see...

There were so many prompts I wanted to do! Admitedly some of the icons, I;ve done better, but... over all I think they look good. We shall see once they are posted, :)
