Here are the various icons I've made for misc icon comms in January. idk what's going on but I had a very active iconing month (for me). I just got my inspiration back, even for some other shows than the ones I'm the most passionate about, so now I can do my usual randomizing thing and stuff like that. Yay! This batch is quite varied in techniques and styles cause a lot of different things inspired me this month, and I've been trying to push myself a little out of my box sometimes, like participating in the close crops challenges that two comms happened to have this month. I already have so many ideas for what I want to do with icons next, so stay tuned I guess?? :D Anyway, hope you enjoy some of these! ♥

Love the coloring and the crayon font in 3, the composition with that lightly texturized look in 5, the awesome complementary coloring in 6, the grunginess in 8. The way you combined cool, flat coloring with something frilly like hair painting in 12 is amazing. I think I have said somewhere else how much I love 22 and 27. You did great with brownish coloring that is unusual for you in 23 and 28 - so much depth. I don't know what exactly I like about 29, I'm too wimpy myself to make bold faceless compositions like that, but damn, it works. Last but not least, I love the glowy coloring of 31.


p.s.: are you still interested in that song set battle we talked about last year, or is that too much of a narrow commitment right now? I am thinking about starting it towards the end of the month, if anyone beside myself is willing to play.

Thanks so much for the lovely comments!! Faceless cropping and faceless blocking like in 29 used to be more popular back when I first started iconing. It was so common that I kinda thought it was boring cause it was everywhere, but now that it isn't, it's starting to look nice to me again. That's a continuing theme in this set tbh, there's a lot of older iconing styles going on here :)

oohh right, I had totally forgotten about that song battle! Tbh I'm the worst at committing to something (I never know in advance if I have an idea for something or not), plus I have several personal projects and some other challenges going on atm, so I definitely encourage you to find at least a few other people so it's not totally dependent on my participation. Buuut, if it happens, I'm not saying I won't participate cause it does sound fun and I always like anything that helps me come up with text on icons! So it's definitely a maybe. If the deadline is long enough I think I could manage?
