30 multifandom icons: 10in30 and technique20in20 entries



Fandoms:

Free! [11]
My Neighbor Totoro [5]
Supernatural [5]
Teen Wolf [4]
Guardians of the Galaxy, Les Misérables, LOST, Once Upon a Time, Star Wars [1 each]


Two challenge entries in the same post this time!

first, [livejournal.com profile] 10in30 Round 1! I claimed my current OTP: Rin Matsuoka / Haruka Nanase, aka rinharu, from Free!. I seriously love these two together and that's why I made them as shippy as I could, that's why all the text, there were SO many good quotes both from the series itself and from the people working on Free! so that's what I mainly drew inspiration from.
This is my first full set of an animated subject; I've made the occasional anime icon here and there but they've been pretty lazy so here I wanted to really try and see what I can do with these caps. Which I still need to practise more and I did have a few technical problems but I'm surprised at how much I actually like the end results. But that might just be because anything with this ship is gold to me lol. OK I'LL SHUT UP about rh for now :) here's the set, hope you like them! ♥



CLOSE x5



FAR x5



close crops:

1 - This scene was a must, Rin hugging Haru super tight and crying cause he's happy to be back together with Haru (and the others) and they just had an amazing experience together and it's just super fluffy and amazing. ♥
2 - This is an incredibly flirty quote from Rin to Haru. I can't even with these two. I wanted to have one icon here about their competitive relationship and the UST they clearly have because of it. That's not ALL there is to their relationship by any means, unlike a lot of anti-rinharu folks seem to think. This is not even the main thing about them imo, but it's still pretty awesome and keeps them both moving forward. Unfortunately nobody can probably find any use for this icon, cause whoever you comment to with this icon will think you're flirting :p
3 - Accoring to the director, their relationship is the core axis of the show, so that's what I wanted to portray here.
4 - I felt a strange need to include this entire quote by Haru's voice actor because it's very relevant to my interests, haha. That's a lot of text and the result might look like crap but I'm soooo happy that I managed to somehow cram it in cause it's that important :3
5 - this is a lazy icon, I just chose some cap of them and made it colorful, the crop is a bit odd and obscure, in case you can't tell what's going on it's Haru grabbing Rin's arm in their intense fence scene, but yeah no special meaning to this one.

far crops:
1 - What you're seeing here is the good old 'only one bed' trope, so... there's that. Rin chooses this particular moment to talk about his fond feelings for Haru and this is one of the things he says but I love everything else from this scene too. I had to use this scene, it's one of their best for sure.
2 - I went with the future theme cause one thing I love about this ship is that in s2 they found that they have the same dream and the same future of professional swimming. they inspire each other towards that goal, and Rin helped Haru find his dream when he was at his lowest. These two are perfect for each other.
3 - This one was inspired by the list of things that Haru reacts to, according to his voice actor: water, swimming, mackerel, and "things relating to Matsuoka Rin" ;)
4 - Now this one is inspired by this lovely quote by Rin's voice actor: '[Haruka and Rin] just feel like the ‘destined pair’ for one another'. It made a nicely short text for a change so I had to use it besides I think he's 1000% on point there, the show even gives us the 'red string of fate'.
5 - In this one I wanted to showcase how utterly romantic the visuals relating to this pair are. there's a cherry blossom three symbolizing their special bond, and when they think of each other the scene sometimes gets blurry and bright and we see cherry blossom petals flying everywhere. Like, make of that what you will but I'm gonna say they're in love alright. the quote is there mostly as a decoration but it reads 'it's my turn to show you a sight you've never seen before' :)

now consider all this and tell me how some people don't see rinharu????????? :o


Next, my set for [livejournal.com profile] technique20in20. It's a multifandom set cause the ability to do that is one of the cool things about that comm. I like my rinharu set more than this one tbh but there are a few in this set that I'm proud of too. The theme names may seem a bit cryptic so check the challenge post for further info if you're curious about what we actually had to do here :)
The category set was about a 'dream world', some things picked from a fandom we'd like to actually experience. I chose My Neighbor Totoro, because I despise being a grownup/old as fuck (or at least too old for anything fun!) and my biggest wish is to get to relive my youth and be a carefree child and have childlike fun and excitement and there's all this and much more in the magical, mysterious, fairytale-like world of Totoro. The specific things I chose to include in my dream scenario: having fun & running around beautiful nature, investigating mysterious places and creatures, flying and being friends with Totoro :D
Anyway, hope you'll find something to like in this set, it was a really fun challenge to participate in and I'm glad the comm is back! Hover for fandom.

LOVE the far set so much! The colors and compositions are just awesome. I think the second one is my favorite.

You totally nailed purple rain, it looks a lot like it's raining!
Love the colors in I put a spell on you, the crop in sky full of stars, the colors in should I stay and the coloring in sandman. The text and crop in ac1 is really clever! Great ue of texture in ac3 and I love the vintage look on ac4. :)

I love your compositions! And coloring! Especially on "Rivers of Babylon" - it looks really awesome :)

Woah this post is full of incredible things! In your 10in30 set, I am super amazed at how beautifully your colouring just translates across into animation. And also jealous. #2 and #3 are just, wow. The intense monochrome colouring in #2 is so beautiful, and I love how perfectly you've used blocking here, and yet still captured so much in the icon. The text placement is all kinds of perfect as well. The vibrant colouring #3 is just lovely, and the subtle lighting really adds such a beautiful element as well. Once again, the text work has been done so spectacularly, I love the gradient and how it mirrors the solid colours you've used - so clever. Everything about the composition of #8 wows me so much, I love the use of space, and how beautifully the individual elements are placed together to create such a cohesive icon. The colour pops so beautifully against the black too. And the colouring of #9 is so incredible. I love the softness of the blue and pink tones, and the use of texture to create a complex composition is just wow.

Your technique20in20 set is flawless as well. The composition of Levels is holy freaking stunning. Love the vibrant and gorgeously lit colouring you've used, and the way you've contrasted the colours on the outside to the colours in the center is amazing. The crop of D.I.S.C.O. is just, wow, and the texture work that you've done is freaking flawless. Love how gritty it is, and yet the vibrancy you've given it works so beautifully along with it. The playful nature of your Category icons really comes out, I love how they are soft and full of gorgeous light textures, it works so beautifully together. AC#1 is amazing. I got a really throwback vibe when I first looked at it, I think the B&W with the strong contrast and perfect text placement really reminded me of the first Supernatural icons I saw on LJ like, 10 years ago. And the composition and texture work in AC#5 is ridiculous, the colour combinations are stunning, and the overlay of everything is just remarkable.

The colors on the 10in30 set are just awesome! I also really like the text use, especially on 2 and 6. The composition of the Star Wars and GotG icons is also fabulous, as is the coloring of the Category set :D

Your creative in the far icon set is beautiful. The colouring is so bright and you just make that work. And every single icon is just a piece of art, very unique and so beautiful. I also love close2 especially- how gorgeous. I also love AC1, the text just really works here without feeling too overpowering. And the black/white as well as the contrast looks so good. The icon just holds so much emotion. I also love the colouring in "i put a spell on you" and cat2 and cat3 and just everything about cat1 and cat5. Again so creative, so unique. So good.

All of them are amazing but I can't get over how lovely your compositions are on levels, should i stay, purple rain, cat4 and ac5!

[identity profile] tturners.livejournal.com 2016-01-26 04:28 pm (UTC)(link)
OMG THE COLOURS HERE. I AM SO IN LOVE !!!
I adore the second, fourth and fifth icon of the close crops set,
and first, second and fourth of the far set. I adore your compositions very much, the text placement is so on point and
the way you work with shapes and textures leaves me speechless. :3

I also love yoyr icons for technique20in20, in particular: levels, should I stay or should I go, text me in the morning, AC #5 and the whole category set.
Saving the Totoro icons! ♥
