Thanks for taking the time to leave such wonderful comments! Yeah, a lot of these challenges made me do things that are unusual for me, especially coloringwise but I guess that's good cause I can't just make everything neon pink all the time :p
I don't see naginis in 18 at all, it's too matte for that, I think the anon who guessed dixon was a bit closer but I still think that icon is very much in line with what I normally make. But I love Ida and her icons very very much so if it really looks like hers, I'm not complaining, just hoping it's not a constant thing in my icons cause I try to avoid being too referential whenever I can help it!
I wasn't expecting anyone to actually read all those rambles about the bestof winners! :D Super pleased to hear that you liked some of my weirder icons. I hope you were happy about your winning icon too, I think it's gorgeous! I've missed a ton of posts lately but icon talk is always interesting so if you did post a best icons summary, I'd love to take a look.
Not that I have the time to do any of the things I want to do these days...
I hear you... I really shouldn't have rushed to post this icon dump, it was dumb cause now it seems like I don't have anything to post in a while since I'm failing to enter this month's monthlyinspo. Thesis has taken all of my time lately, just now sent a semi-final version to my professor. If there's not a lot to fix in it anymore, I might have a lot of iconing time next month... but that set is still a month away and I really wanted to make a set for this month's theme :/ if the next prompt is technical and not subject-based, I might try to combine the two themes for the April set!
