30 multifandom icons (monthlyinspo + others)  

Fandoms:
Doctor Who [8+1]
Dorian Gray [2]
Farscape [2]
Orphan Black [2]
Parks and Recreation [2]
Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Carmilla, Elementary, The Flash, Kuroshitsuji, The Lizzie Bennet Diaries, LOST, Merlin, Supernatural, Survivor (S33), Teen Wolf, Titanic [1 each]



So here's my set for [livejournal.com profile] monthlyinspo round 13! I MADE A 20IN20 SET, it's been a while!
Everyone's sets for this round have been aaaawesome and super cohesive but here I am all over the place with my color combos and basically everything. I happily mixed both color wheels, but I specifically wanted to work with colors and combinations I don't often use - so that's why the heavy focus on reds! And no, I'm not organizing these by color cause that just highlights that I used mostly red+green and red+cyan :p

I wanted to go to a very different direction from my last set. Those icons were bright, shiny, and fairly simple, so in this set I wanted to do gritty, text-heavy, contrasted, bold, 'in your face' icons. I also tried to use more close crops than usual but I got kinda sidetracked from that so there aren't as many as I had planned. Anyway, this set was a very interesting challenge and I had a lot of fun - hopefully someone is crazy enough to enjoy these, and if you do please let me know :D Hover for color details and fandoms. (I mean most of these are from one fandom... I've really fallen in love with DW again this year. Aside from Survivor, it's the only show that still inspires me.)

(Apologies for the weirdest, most super late comment ever, I'm basically brainfried by work but I still wanted to comment...)

How am I only seeing these now, they are so amazing?! Vibrant grunge/grittiness is my favourite thing so obviously I think this set is wow! Idk, the colours are fantastic but at the same time the set has a dark vibe to it that I find really appealing. (Don't mind me, really)

The Doctor Who icons! I love the saturation, lighting and texture of 3, it all works so beautifully with the cap! 6 is another favourite with the crop and text (also this quote *sobs*). 4 is a lot of fun and looks rather punk to me (Idk?!) which suits Nine perfectly. And 5! How do you composition? It's so vintage and dreamlike and beautiful.

The close crops are great, I especially like the Sarah icon. But did you make a Grant Ward icon? And are you watching Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D? (Maybe you've made AoS icons before but I was too awol to notice :o)

Other favourites are 1, 2, 10, 12 and the amazing 17 and 18, both of which have brilliant compositions. ♥

Oh wow, thak you so much for this absolutely amazing comment! I'm so happy to see that you're still around. Also you mention so many of the things I was going for here, like vibrant grunge and dark vibrancy, so I'm super glad you noticed those and liked them!

But did you make a Grant Ward icon? And are you watching Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D?

Ok so this is going to be a WEIRD explanation, but since you asked... :D
Sometimes when I want to make a multifandom set, I do this thing where I randomize the subjects (from a list of shows/movies that have been iconned and posted at boxedcolors) and then watch an episode of that show and take notes and afterwards create an icon from it. It's a great way to add fandom variety and make sure that I'm inspired every time. So my initial thought was to make this entire set that way, with 20 random fandoms, buuut then the DW ideas kinda took over so not all of the subjects were selected that way, but anyway that's how the AoS icon came to be.

Thanks again for the wonderful feedback! ♥
