That last alternate (#35) though, wow. That is a seriously stunning icon. I am flabbergasted over here because, honestly, that is some hard hitting pretty right there. I love, first of all, the creative use of silhouette you've chosen in this one. And it is so smooth and well extracted too! So that's gorgeous. And the image you used inside the silhouette is really wonderful as well. So, in terms of giving your icon a very meaningful punch, you've definitely knocked it out! And then there's the coloring which is neon perfection. I love how the bright pinks play off of the browns and the greens so incredibly well! Such a brilliant color combination, honestly. So that aspect is also perfect. And then to top it all off, there's this beautiful yellow light to tie it all together? Be still my beating heart, I think I'm in love. I'll let you know when I manage to pick my jaw up off the floor, okay?
WHICH ISN'T TO SAY THAT THERE AREN'T SEVERAL OTHER BRILLIANT ICONS WITHIN THIS POST BECAUSE THERE ARE INDEED! In particular, I love 'as simple as it can get', 'your heart's desire', 'mood coloring', and also the fourth artist's choice icon. 'As simple as it can get' is just stunning. It is so wonderful that you can balance ridiculously clean and minimal compositions with ridiculously complicated and complex compositions. You rule both ends of the spectrum. Anyway, this one is just so lovely in its lack of neon colors and textures and everything. There's something about the really pulled back browns and blues that make it pop regardless of how little there is going on within it. Totally stunning! And then 'your heart's desire'--running to the other end of the spectrum here, haha; we could get really fit running back and forth, I think--is just such a cute, creative way of utilizing blocking, I think. And it is still somehow rather minimal? I don't know how you do that, but I like it!! 'Mood coloring' should be renamed to 'mood lighting' because it hits all the right points for incredible lighting for me, to be honest. Just incredible balance between light and shadow there, and I love how it looks ethereal and also gritty at the same time. AC #4 is just a coloring win. I mean there's a lot of fabulous coloring in this post (neon lights and ac #3, to name a couple), but I think AC #4 just takes the cake? Something about the detailed nature of it just makes it extra amazing to me, I think.
And, um, I think you did really well picking out things for your style in the category section! I think those are all things people would definitely identify with you!
So wonderful job overall, and it was super awesome seeing an icon post from you! ♥
