20+5 Sherlock icons for monthlyinspo

[neonspider]

Here's my set for the very first round at a new comm, monthlyinspo! I love that there's a lot of room for ACs in this community cause lately I've had a lot of inspiration and ideas.

While I've been sort of back from hiatus since the end of last year, I hadn't felt like I had quite made a total return yet, so the goal here was to make a set that is very my style but turned up to eleven. I'm so proud of this set, a massive amount of time and energy went into these, so even if nobody else likes these at least I can say I reached my own goal.
I wanted to make a multifandom set and specifically use Survivor and Free! because there's a lot of blue water opportunities in both, but somehow after watching s4 and rewatching s3 of Sherlock I had so many ideas just for that one show that this somehow became a Sherlock set. The reactions to s4 seem to be negative or mixed but I personally loved it, I'd love to hear other people's thoughts on s4 if you've seen it :>

Icons 1-9 were more or less inspired by the theme (blue), but none of them are completely monochrome, so if the mods feel that some of them aren't blue enough, I don't mind you decide to leave the less blue ones out of the theme voting.
