42 icons (Parks and Rec set for 20muses + multifandom icon dump)

[neonspider]

Fandoms:
Parks and Recreation [20]
Sense8 [6]
MCU [2]
Teen Wolf [2]
Arrow, Doctor Who, Dorian Gray (2009), Farscape, Free!, LOST, Merlin, The Rocky Horror Picture Show, Sherlock, Star Wars, Supernatural, The Vampire Diaries [1 each]

So first, my set for the 4th round at 20muses! The randomizer gave me Parks and Recreation season 5 for a subject, but lbr most of these aren't very season-specific (still from s5 caps tho). I love Parks and Rec, so this was a lot of fun!
For this challenge we were prompted to make simple icons. I wanted to make this set somewhat cohesive, so out of all the lovely techniques presented in the inspiration post, I chose to focus only on one thing: coloring. Vibrant coloring, to be specific, but the last row got a bit more pastelly :>
I don't think this is the best set from me, I think these are a bit... basic even for simple icons, but I made these really fast so this is the extent of my creativity atm :p Despite of that I think I did an alright job bringing my style into these even without some of my usual elements (text and complex compositions).
HOPE YOU LIKE SOLID BACKGROUNDS AND CENTER CROPS CAUSE THERE ARE QUITE A FEW OF THOSE HERE :3

Basic hah!
No, these are really pretty. I think coloring is one of your strengths and it really shows here! The lighting is also spot on, especially in 5. Also the "muted" coloring in 14 and 17-19 fits you well, you should do more of this! My favs are 2, 5, 10, 12, 14 16, 17 and 18!

Btw, have you watched Sense8? Idk this!

(I swear I'm not a creeper, I just happened to click on my FP right when you posted this)

[neonspider]

LOL you're fast! But don't worry, I'd never think of you as a creeper :D Thank you for the lovely comment :3 ♥ Super happy you like the colorings since that's basically all there is to this set. I barely even bothered with textures even though I usually love them and I'm sure a bit of that would have been allowed even for this challenge!
Aw, that's a lot of faves xD

I'm so behind on my commenting... I'll get to your lovely post eventually! And yes I've watched Sense8 a bit. I think maybe 8 episodes? I didn't really take it as a 'next to watch' show but it just got randomized for my first 100x100mystery set (I thought the icons would be displayed in sets so that's why I only used one fandom... weirdly enough nobody guessed 35 to be mine even though I obviously had a one-fandom set!) so that's why I watched a few more eps, after those two I had already seen for the random character project. I really like the show this far, I just need to find the time to finish s1. I don't even know if there's a second season? But I quite love all the characters and the idea is so cool in general, just my kind of show tbh :>

These are georgeous! I always admire your for your coloring, you're damn good at it! And even you couldn't go for crazy compositions and tons of text this time, your icons are still amazing!
My favourites from the 20muses set are 2, 5, 6, 9, 15, 16, 17 and 18! From the rest of the icons as you probably know already, I love 25, 26, 29, 30, 31, 34, 36 and 42! :D
Great work!

COLORS! <3 This set is so beautiful and vibrant! I love how you make pastel colors in a vibrant tone (like on 16-20). AMAZING! I'm saving a bunch!

[neonspider]

Omg, thank you so much for the lovely comment!! I love your colorings too you know so it's super flattering that you like the colors on these. and so many favorites, haha, thank you!! :D

[neonspider]

aw, thank you so much! ♥ I'm super happy you like the pastelly(ish?) ones, since I really like using that coloring :> and yay I'm so glad you found something to save!

[novindalf]

OH MY GOODNESS THE COLOURS ♥ ♥ ♥ Can't possible pick out favourites here because I am so in awe of the beautiful vibrance and lighting and everything

[lancelotfan.livejournal.com]

This post is all kinds of pretty I love all the colors are just beautiful!!! :)

[bizarra.livejournal.com]

COLOR! Lots of gorgeous colors here! I don't think they look simple at all, which is a good thing for a simple set. :)

[apologizeg]

I'm glad to hear you like it! I think it's amazing. They started filming the second season this spring, so I'm not sure when it will air :S

[neonspider]

Heee, thank you so much!!! ♥ I'mn super happy you like them !:>

[neonspider]

Thank you so much! I'm glad you like the colors, I had so much fun with the P&R caps! :)

[neonspider]

Thanks so much for the lovely comment :> The Parks and Rec caps really helped me a lot, so many coloring options!

[neonspider]

Oh, that's great to know, maybe I should watch the rest of s1 before s2 airs :)
(thanks for asking me to do this challenge btw, I had a lot of fun even though I had used all of my ideas by like the third icon! At least it was great coloring practise if nothing else :D)

[violateraindrop]

These are not basic, just look at all these colors! I love all the greens and pinks. My favorite is probably the first one, the coloring and lighting is just amazing. The lighting on 2 and 4 is also great, just like the background on 8. 9 is also awesome with it's negative space. The pastels on the last row are also very pretty :D

[neonspider]

Thanks so much!! Yay I'm glad you like 1 so much since it's a bit out of my comfort zone - not used to using that much glow/lighting, but I wanted to try :)

[apinkpanthress.livejournal.com]

I love vibrant... vibrant is almost always good! :D
Also great contrast & crop!!

I like the coloring & interesting style in Icons 13, 14 & 15, they look so surreal.
My overall top favourites are #'s 9 & 19!

[neonspider]

Thank you so much for the lovely words :3 Very glad you like the colors! I'm a sucker for vibrant icons too, I do love a good muted/pale icon when done by certain other makers who really rock those styles, but when I make those, they just don't come out that special at all... so vibrant it is :D

[devilz-haircut.livejournal.com]

Oh my God, such a delightful mixture of colors and... well, colors! :) I just realised how much I miss P&R! I think #13, #19, #21 and #26 are my favorites. I also may have a slight obsession with negative space so do not judge me for my choices :)) They all look delicious!

[rosy-nic.livejournal.com]

Great icons :)

[geckoholic]

Sooooo awesome and creative! :D

[neonspider]

Aw, thank you so much for the lovely comment! Some of those are among my personal favorites too so I'm super happy about your favorite choices :> I miss P&R too, though I only watched it recently after it had already ended. Such a funny show with great characters!

[neonspider]

Thank you!! :)

[neonspider]

Thanks so much! :)

I love how you stay true to yourself even when you step out of your comfort zone. The colors here are very you and I would recognize them as yours instantly. The vibrancy is just wonderful. I love 5 and the blues in 8 are such a great contrast for all the yellows. I love 9 and what you did with 13 sososo much. Pastels in 19 are perfect, love this set!

Also your master icon= *heart eyes*
