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




Teen Wolf [27]




Sooo I participated in [livejournal.com profile] 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 [livejournal.com profile] 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. ♥

Thank you so much for the detailed and wonderful feedback!! :) I'm so glad you like the cat set that much, it's my own favorite part of this set too.

icontalking is awesome, hope you joined and not just watched it cause the best part of the comm are the discussion posts, they're a great place to talk to other iconmakers but they're only visible to members. When you join it says that the membership needs to be accepted by a mod first but don't worry about that, everyone who tries to join is accepted, I guess this procedure is just something to keep out spam and those that aren't really iconers but only there to lurk? idk. I don't know how that other battle works, but if it hasn't ended yet I'm pretty sure you could still sign up, just ask the person hosting it. but even if it's too late, there are battles going on all the time there, and it's also possible to host your own battle there if you're interested :) like I said, icontalking is pretty awesome for iconers, I just wish I had more time to participate in everything...

20insp is only back for one round and goes back to hiatus after that, so it wouldn't make sense to open the applications for just one round. however inspired20in20 is basically the same thing and was originally made so that everyone could participate in this kind of inspiration style challenges, so there's always that :)

thanks again!

Well, I did now. :D

I don't know how that other battle works, but if it hasn't ended yet I'm pretty sure you could still sign up, just ask the person hosting it.

I decided I really like the setup of the Teen Wolf battle, but after thinking about it, I realized I don't want to icon TeeWo after all. I thought about just using the setup with Librarians characters and make it a challenge for myself. The underappreciated fandoms battle is closed and I can't join anymore. (Even if they'd let me in, by now I have dawdled too long anyway, it ends in three days and I'm not in the mood to make 20 icons until then.)

inspired20in20 is basically the same thing

Yeah, it's the non-elite equivalent. Which is more up my alley, anyway.
