Stardust for monthlyinspo + multifandom extras



Fandoms:
Stardust [20]
Mad Men, Once Upon a Time, Pocahontas, Teen Wolf, The Vampire Diaries [1 each]


This is my entry for the 15th round of [livejournal.com profile] monthlyinspo! The theme was 'celestial', and I went with a very literal interpretation and decided to make all of my icons from the movie Stardust. Something about this film really resonates with me, so I hope I was able to capture at least some of its magic.

Stylewise I feel like this is a 'back to my roots' set, I've been exploring different styles so much lately (especially last month with the b&w set) that I felt like it was time for a classic js set, but with a starry twist to fit the theme better :D Hope you like some of these! There are 5 multifandom extras included, cause I started working on a multifandom entry until I got super inspired by Stardust and decided it might be weird to have 5 misc icons and 15 Stardust.



MONTHLYINSPO ROUND 15

But seriously.

All the painting, colors, texure use, compositions and text-usage is TOO DAMN PRETTY.

Faves include: 1, 2, 3, 8, 10, 11, 15 and also 23 which is the most perfect icon I've seen in a long time!

Beautiful icons *__* You are so talented!
I don't really know any of these fandoms but I don't mind. I love staring at your icons and admiring them :)

HOLY. SHIT.

I knew your set for this round would be beyong amazing but WOW. Every single one of these is so good! My absolute favourite has to be 13 because the background and colouring are insanely good and I hate that this isn't one of my fandoms because I would upload it right now. I love your use of 'space' textures, especially on 1, 3, 8, 9, 15, 16 and 19.

8 is so eye-catching, the contrast and lighting and text, everything works. And can we talk about the hair painting on this set?! It is so good! 7 is mesmerising.

The text arrangements are brilliant, especially on 4 and 6. The composition on 14 is so delightfully complex, I never watched Stardust but I have a feeling this icon captures the spirit of the film. And now I want to watch it! I like 20 a lot, the crop for the background image is perfect, and she is striking in front of it with those vibrant colours - plus great text use there too!

I LOVE THE ALTERNATES. 23 is just out of this world with the colours, flawless hair painting and fairy tale lighting and the Regina icon is simply excellent - that composition idea and those colours, wow!

Fantastic job, as usual! ♥

14 probably has the least to do with the film
HAHA well forget I said anything, or let's just say your storytelling skills are so good that I totally bought it ;)

I feel like next month I might do 10in30 instead of monthly, which means I could possibly sneak in a set for an EPIC BATTLE. Now we just need to figure out how we're actually going to do it...

The monthlyinspo challenge is epic and the inspiration post is magnificent but it also scares me, haha. I know myself, I'll spend so much time deciding how many classes to use, which ones, and how to interpret them that I won't get anything done. 10in30 sounds good because I've wanted to do a close/far and/or vibrant/pale set for a while!

But battle, yes! Do you have any ideas? Should we randomise themes and techniques? I'm open to any battle 'mode' you like, minus a 100% screencap battle perhaps, those are not my favourite.
Let me know, and we can set a pretty loose deadline maybe? I was thinking maybe a month or so, so I can remake my icons 50 times it doesn't get stressful or anything :)

but also minimalistc vs extra complex, dark vs light, extra matte vs extreme lighting, texture overdose vs no textures.... how to choose?
How indeed? I didn't think of those awesome combinations! Minimalistic/extra complex sounds great tbh. I need to think of what would be most challenging!


I really liked the way we used to do those DW icons with raiindust for watchnicon, iirc some of them had given caps, some had a provided texture and some had a provided font? Or maybe it was cap / theme / texture or font? But we could have most of them as themes, with a few provided resource themes mixed in.

Great idea! Our watchnicon 'themes' were: themes (interpretive), techniques, fonts, textures, palettes and screencaps. If we make 12 icons for the battle, we can make two for each category, if you like! Or just cap/theme/texture/font if you prefer, and make 4 little sets of three icons? Let me know, but I love the idea of connecting this to our old rewatches, in a way :)

Lovely use of pink / purple.

All these icons are masterpieces! I love how you can combine various subjects together, not to mention the beautiful colors: I think I will save the whole post: D

You’re one of my absolute favourite artists ever and this is the least I can do! :) ♥️ and yes omg. that Dany icon is everything and more *sobs quietly*

These are absolutely gorgeous! It's so hard to pick just a few faves, but I think I like 16, 18 and 20 the best :)

[identity profile] emiels.livejournal.com 2018-08-04 08:50 am (UTC)(link)
wtf dude, what is this? no matter what style or colors you use, it's always so beautiful D: and some of these color combos definitely should NOT WORK. and yet.

Ahhh, I'm tempted?? I'm really in love with this month's 10in30 and monthlyinpo themes...... but I'm so out of practice, my last post was in December 2017 and I haven't made anything since then :/

[identity profile] absolutelybatty.livejournal.com 2018-08-04 12:08 pm (UTC)(link)
just quietly, #25 is one of the most gorgeous things I've seen in a long ass time. honestly, magical.

ahhhhhh I'm only here on occasion.....it was my main hobby for so long it's hard to really ever completely disconnect. I wish I had inspiration to make anything close to as pretty as anything in this set, tbh!!!

Wooha!!! naginis gif reaction fits perfectly! :o____
You just made the best icons EVER with one of my favourite movies: I'll never recover from seeing this set!!!! x_x
First of all, lets begin with the hairporn ones: 4, 5, 7 and 8 are amazingly painted and smoothed! Then I really love the text compositions on 2, 6, 10 and 18: I think text is my weak point in iconning and your icons just let me realize it even more (they're flawless!). Moreover I love the fairytale mood on 1, 12, 13, 15 (which is my super favourite ♥) and 17: they just captured the mood of the movie and are so poetic! ♥
Plus I really like your last two extras: awesome compositions!
Bye, now I'm gonna go to save all these little masterpieces!!!! Congrats! ♥

Wowowow! I love the purple-pink-cyan shine of this set! It looks very coherent despite there being three main colors in it. They just fit so well together!

I'm sorry to say I have never seen the movie...

I love the ones with the bright yellow hair (3, 7, 8, extra3), and the amazing lighting-composition in 13, the beautiful text in 10, the dark coloring and grunge in 1, 9, 15, 19, and the last extra. I would like to pick a fave but... impossible. They are all so gorgeous!

[identity profile] thyla87.livejournal.com 2018-08-07 08:46 pm (UTC)(link)

So I bookmarked this post because I was too overwhelmed by the perfection when I first saw it. YOU MADE STARDUST ICONS...and they are sooo pretty. I feel like I can still not express how amazing this set is.

First of all, 1 uses one of my favorite caps from the movie. I don't even know what it is, but I love it. And then there's the coloring and composition on all of these <3
I saved 11 icons from this batch. I can't remember the last time I did that. I just want to stare at them. Favorites: 6, 11, 12, 16, 20, followed by all the rest :D

Gorgeous icons. Wish I knew how to do colorings like that.
