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


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 [livejournal.com profile] 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

Yeah, I would love to do it more often but working with those caps is a pain. I mean, I'm greatful they even exist, I'd about cry if they were no more, lol. And there are a ton of shows I'd love to icon but the caps are really lq and grainy, and then it takes me more time to fix it then it does to make an icon, haha. Like, I want to icon Stargate a lot, and I just saw that some caps are better than before, but like Atlantis has blu ray caps and it's like a miracle and then there's SG1. And if I do manage to come across more quality caps, there are no galleries, only download links. Which is like, thanks but no thanks.

I tried doing it to white but switched back to grey because I just couldn't work like that, I don't know why. Oh yes, totally! Depending on the time of the day and how I postion my laptop, icons look totally different. And it's always weird how it's never the same. Like, sometimes they looks really vibrant in photoshop but muted in my folders and then the next time, they look muted in photoshop but really bright in my folders. I have no idea, lol.

Also, I'm honestly just curious how icons look to different people. I would honestly make 'print your screen' thread or something so I can see it, haha. You know when someone will say that the icon looks really blurry or sharp, saturated or washed out, but to you it looks normal? Recently my cousin bought a new laptop so I decided to check it out and then he asked me to see my recent icons and graphics, and I was all 'aaaah my eyes'. Like, everything on his laptop looks super bright and shiny, I couldn't do absolutely anything working like that. Sorry, this was random, lmao.

Aw, you are too! <333

Haha yesss don't even mention SG1, those caps were completely unusuable at least when I tried my hand at them last time (it was a few years ago though so maybe there are better ones now...?).

Print your screen thread wouldn't work because you'd still be viewing other people's print screens through your monitor so even that image would look different to everyone o.O screens are so complicated! When I switched screens about a year ago I guess the new screen shows things a bit differently cause all my older icons look too muted and darkish to me now, so maybe my older screen gave them more vibrance automatically. But at the same time I know that anyone with a similar screen to my old one would see my current stuff as oversaturated and too bright. Argh! :s I just try not to think about it...
