I was a bit sad to let the alt go - it was my original attempt. And then I hit on that color explosion texture and knew that this was it. It completely hid the complicated text work and the fight pattern I made in the background, but still looked better. //)
the texture use is great too
I love grunge and paint textures, and I'm still working my way towards using them well. I'm happy it worked here - it's my favorite icon from the set, just barely ahead of the Sansa icon.
Rumple has stunning contrast and coloring + is super fun and creative
Thank you! I found that the ones where I knew nothing about the characters were easiest to make. I was fascinated with his weird skin color and skin texture, so I tried to bring that out. I still have huge trouble with dark icons, because of my screen being too dark, but I won't give up. (You will see what I mean when I have finally gotten my turbo-rumble review post done...)
I don't think I could make many icons of things I know nothing about, but the first one is always surprisingly easy.
Sansa's icon is lovely too, it looks like there's a story behind it, with the text and the blurred subject in the background.
There is. This icon - especially the text on it - fought me for the longest time. I think it took me two hours to make until I had settled on the perfect line and background texture.
Sansa was not one of my favorite characters on GOT at first, and this certainly isn't her proudest moment. She gets easier to identify with later, but at this point, she's still mostly a spoiled would-be-princess. She is forced to marry Tyrion ("the dwarf"), and she hates him so much she refuses to kneel at the wedding, embarrassing him in front of... the whole kingdom basically. I love Tyrion, and he has had the hardest life, he's always made fun of (by other people, not by the author of the novels). But he's a good person by GOT standards, and he never meant Sansa any harm, and this really hurt him. He also didn't want to marry her, btw.
Sorry, I could ramble on about those two. I really like them.
no subject
The alt is great too btw
