20 TW + BTVS icons for 20muses  


Fandoms:
Buffy the Vampire Slayer [10]
Teen Wolf [10]


This is my [livejournal.com profile] 20muses round 2 entry! More info about the icon themes under the spoiler cut. LOOOVED this challenge. I chose two very different episodes for my claim: Teen Wolf 3.18 Riddled (a very dramatic episode) and Buffy the Vampire Slayer 6.07 Once More with Feeling (very funny ep, though with serious undertones).
Due to the nature of the round and me torturing myself with the hard mode, it's not a surprise that the styles in this post are ALL OVER THE PLACE and this set is faaaar from looking cohesive, but well, hopefully that means there's something for everyone here? :)

Hope you'll enjoy these! I definitely enjoyed making them.

[01-05]
[06-10]
[11-15]
[16-20]
Here are my inspirations:


TEEN WOLF
1 - Box1 technical: stock + silhouette
2 - Box2 art: all_malocks (far crop + close crop) + queen_bartonia (unnatural coloring)
3 - Box4 color: dark blueish grey + dark red
4 - Box4 song: Former Vandel - I was So Sure (this was almost too easy, pretty sure this song IS about this episode! o.O) + 30 Seconds to Mars - Hurricane (lyrics). I hate this icon it looks like a crappy absolutelybatty ripoff, sorry .___. i'd remake it if I had the time!
5 - Box1 art: poisonfield (surrounded by text pieces) + starkwars (completely obscured subject). in case the concept isn't clear, the... thingy... is meant to symbolize the Void that has taken over Stiles. Part of the thing is actually the painting from Stiles' room which some people took as foreshadowing!
6 - Box3 technical: text + blocking
7 - Box3 song: Paramore - Brick by Boring brick (butterfly wings!) + PVRIS - My House (bw + color)
8 - Box4 technical: close crop + scenery
9 - Box4 texture: mrs_padfoot + lookslikerain (idk if you can tell i used this one, it's pretty subtle)
10 - Box2 art: longerthanwedo (coloring style, crop) + queen_bartonia again (big text)

BTVS
11 - Box4 song: Jona Selle - Applause (it's a song about performing -> took a cap from Buffy's final song) + The Weeknd - In the Night (visuals: neon, blurred vision effect)
12 - Box2 song: Anna Clendening - Who You Are (lyrics) + Sia - Alive (visuals: muted icon, full body crop)
13 - Box6 texture: 12feethigh (veeery subtly used for lighting) + loseanhour
14 - Box1 word: easy + old (->vintage look)
15 - Box5 texture: stewark + mrs_padfoot
16 - Box4 technical: profile + closecrop
17 - Box5 word: sunshine + nature
18 - Box6 song: Lana del Rey - Dark Paradise (darkness. lol i'm so imaginative with interpretations) + Sam Tsui - Let It Go/Let Her Go (the theme of letting someone go)
19 - Box6 word: futuristic + amusing (never let me use this theme combo ever again cause this is what happens i try to make a demon look like a scifi show alien because WHY NOT :D)
20 - Box6 texture: 12feethigh again for lighting + accio-glow




Snag all you want, credit if you want to, but don't hotlink and please don't use my icons as bases or resources

Woah! The Buffy musical is so well suited for bright primary colors. I love all of them. Especially 12, with its text that is not from the lyrics, and the text style in 14. Wow.

That's such an amazing use of the texture in 20! So so gorgeous.

(and you did the hard way on all of them, of course.)

Aww thank you so much for the lovely comment! I love that episode, and I knew it would be great for iconing, I would have had so many ideas for it even without the challenge but then had to come up with new ones when the dice rolls wouldn't really fit with the original ideas I got. But that was fun too and led to less expected results, and I can use my other ideas some other time!

LOL yeah I had to go with the hard way, though I'm not sure if it was harder. It put more limitations so in that way a bit less freedom and therefore imagination was necessary, so maybe I actually took the easier route :D
