FINALLY HERE TO REPLY TO THIS AMAZING COMMENT! Sorry for taking so long when honestly I was sooo happy and flattered to read all these lovely things ;__;
OMG, YOU FINISHED LOST, AWESOME! ikr, I looove how many completely different characters there are! and the overall story was just super fascinating for me - I just wish I would have gotten into it way back when it was airing so I could have participated in the fandom when it was active.
i'm gonna go ahead and assume locke and ben are your favs? :D because you make the most creative and awesome icons with them
Thank youuu this means so much to me because HELL YEAH those two creepy old dudes are my favorites and, i just get these ideas for them, maybe cause it's easy for me to remember their scenes and know what I want to icon about them next. Also with this subject I usually end up with icons I like too, because when I'm iconing them I'm iconing 100% for myself, i know nobody else needs shippy Bocke icons lol but I know I do so I just try to make them something that I'd actually like to use, as in, full of everything and ridiculous colors and stuff :D which in turn is why it's super extra flattering that you like those. THANKYOUSOMUCH ♥
and, I'm super glad you think I've made some text progress, it was my main goal last year. I really don't remember how bad I was at it the last time you were around, but it feels like it was super long ago so i must have been pretty awful xD
As for the coloring in the last two, I'm pretty sure it was gradient maps as always... all the gradient maps on soft light and maybe on normal too on these icons to get the mutedness. I wish I knew how to selective color! aw, I really hope you'll get your complexity inspiration back! But, if not, I'd love to see your simple icons as well cause your coloring alone is definitely enough to make them extra brilliant and eye-catching. ♥
