Fandoms:
Survivor S33 [43]
Project Runway S15 [2]

I hadn't made icons in a loooong time and I thought I was over it tbh. There used to be a time when I loved the artistic expression of iconmaking so much that I could easily randomize which subject to use, or select a subject from basically everything I've watched. Not so much now - I really need to have passion for what I icon, and for a long time I just didn't have that obsession on anything. BUT!! Then this season of Survivor happened, and during the last few episodes I realized it was pretty much the perfect season. Every player was likeable and adorable yet everyone still played hard. And of course there was THE love story (not figtails...). So I wanted to take screencaps just so I could ~admire this awesomeness more, but then a few icons just somehow semi-automatically came into existence, and suddenly there were lots of new icons to share, so yay? :D

But yeah, I know these icons don't really interest anyone cause they're just reality ppl and not even for a challenge of any kind (except for the yellow the7days set), buuut I just wanna post these for the sake of completion. Most of these are pretty basic and simple just because well, I had a long break and had to start with something. But at some point I got into the groove again and there are a few that i really like hidden among these :D

THESE WERE ALL MADE IN 2016!!
just saying in case someone thinks my rusty-ass icons are worth considering for the bestoficons nominations ;D

I've missed iconing but more than that I've missed being part of the iconing community so um, feel free to say hi! I'd love to know who's still here :) sorry for the comments I missed while being on my break, I'll get back to them asap!

Woooo!! *tackle hug*

It's nice to see the icon maker community resurge a bit for best-of. I hope participation in challenges will also pick up again. It's far from dead yet, but a little more participation would be nice.

This batch is really beautiful. I love your vibrant primary coloring. So great. (I'm still trying to emulate it and failing so hard...)

I love 01, 17 to 19, 31, 37, 44.
