Well daaamn, gorgeous as usual. I feel like it's been a billion years since I've commented on your icon posts, so this is long overdue, and you've come up with some truly amazing stuff as usual.
I love the silhouetted look with the faint pink outline in 'far away.' Gorgeous composition and vibrant blue coloring in AC4. 29 is just beautiful to look at, between the colors and the grungy texture use. She looks illuminated by light and stars.
Orphan Black! I'm thrilled that you iconned OB because I love that show dearly. ♥ Lovely cropping and pastel coloring in 43. I like the dramatic contrast and blocking in 45. 47 is just insane and warped-looking and bloody, which is almost kind of perfect for Sarah and Helena's relationship. I love the gradient use in 50, especially how soft that greenish yellow on the left makes her hair look. It all blends in kind of seamlessly, and as a result the icon kind of looks like a painting. Beautiful muted pastel coloring in 53 and 54.
Speaking of shows very near and dear to my heart, ahhhh Parks and Recreation! This post just keeps getting better and better. And it's chock-full of Jean-Ralphio, so just an utterly superb win on all counts. I love the minimalist look and far crop in 62, the pastel coloring (and general adorable look) of 64, the wispy hair painting in 66, the crop and coloring in 69, and the fun and zany text work in 72. It's great to see those next to 73 and 74, two much "quieter" icons that really suit Ron. I especially love 74 with that center crop and the toned down muted coloring. You've really highlighted these characters and their personalities through the icon techniques.
I love how intensely vibrant 78 is, and her hair looks like a waterfall. The whole thing has a very painty look that I'm really digging. More fantastic vibrant coloring in 100 and 105. I don't know how you add so much color without going over-the-top. I'm jealous, I really am. I love the yellow/blue color scheme in 106. It's really cute how the background objects are all blue to match the color you made her cardigan. Fantastic composition in 114. The black and white really adds something to it as well. It has a classic vintage kind of look (it also reminds me of the blocking styles from earlier iconning years, which is pretty cool because I'm forever nostalgic about that time).
So yeah, this is a really stunning post and I can't wait to see more wonderful icons from you next year!
