wow, thank you so much for this wonderful comment!! ♥ I looove all kinds of colors, but for some reason i keep making everything bright and vibrant - I think it's about the caps, now that I've mostly been iconing Lost I can't resist using all the scenery to make it colorful, but Sherlock for example has very different caps, so that set is more muted.

I'm basically unable to make cheerful icons
THIS IS A LIE I mean look at the Juliet icon I posted these with, it's definitely cheerful-colored perfection! but ofc I love alll the other colorings you do too, especially all the gradient map mastery.

omg, I'm honestly surprised that you just used the words 'new' and 'invent', I reaaally struggle with composing stuff tbh and I feel like I don't have any creative ideas most of the time, haha. That icon you linked to was a lucky accident, and mostly a result of the awesome challenge and that profile cap, I loved that cap so much that I had to use it yet it didn't seem to go with the usual interpretation of 'background text' at all so I had to find another solution and that was it basically :D so glad you like it!!
