20+7 Lydia Martin (Teen Wolf) icons for character20n20

[neonspider]

Teen Wolf [27]



Sooo I participated in character20n20 again! It has been a while, because I needed to focus on my uni work and 20in20s take so much time and effort from me.
After finishing my thesis, I've been making a slow return to iconing, with some icontests and the7days sets, but now I was finally ready to make a full 20in20 set again and damn was it awesome! I'm honestly happy with most of these. I used many of my go-to techniques so I guess it's nothing ~new from me. I've already signed up for 20inspirations and that set will probably me more experimental, but here I just wanted to make fun icons with all my favorite techniques :)

also. there's a lot of Pydia here because ships inspire me. No judging ok? :p I don't even know when I started liking het this much but yeah. I know it's creepy and terrible, my ships always are, that's why I ship them basically.

Crossover OTP is with Giles from BTVS. I don't really get crossover shipping tbh because I need to see the chemistry in some actual scenes for the ship to be fueled, but if I have to pick someone, I could totally see her having a crush on the hot school librarian who seems to know something about the supernatural things in Beacon Hills. Of course, Giles is a decent person so he'd never actually return her affection, but I'd still count that as a 'ship'. :>

I hope 'Outer space' is space-y enough; it has a lot of stars mostly, I used these space-themed textures by daynawashere :)

ok I'll stop rambling, I really hope someone will like something in here but just having finished these makes me happy. ♥

LOL this comment though :DDD ♥ THANK YOUUUU. I'm very glad you like them that much, though I'm pretty sure this set doesn't really deserve all this praise haha

haha I'm glad you like the category set that much, I kinda wanted all of the 20 icons here to be vibrant so the set would look better as a whole but then I somehow made cat3 and liked it and then wanted the rest of the category set to be similar in style so... that's why the cat set doesn't really fit anything else :p and yep, each of them took hours to make (except cat1, that one was easy)

There's no flower texture on ac2 though! I couldn't find a wolfsbane texture and another flower didn't make that much sense (which is why I wasn't pleased with extra 2), so I used this actual screencap of the flower. Glad you think it worked :>

thanks again for the fantastic comment!!
