Stardust for monthlyinspo + multifandom extras

[neonspider]

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 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.

Oh yes that insp post is spectacular, but really seeing how I only managed to post this set because of the extension, I couldn't be happier about 10in30's return, it's just the right size for me. The only drawback is that I need to pick a fandom, I usually like to use a pseudorandom method I developed a while ago for subject selection, but it only works for multifandom sets :p oh and there are so many possible themes too - close/far and vibrant/pale would be great indeed but also minimalistc vs extra complex, dark vs light, extra matte vs extreme lighting, texture overdose vs no textures.... how to choose?

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.

Yeah, I think the given caps work the best for big battle with lost of makers with really different styles so it's cool to see how the same cap can become so many different things. But for us I think technical or other types of themes would work the best, so random themes sound perfect. I wish there was a massive list of possible themes somewhere that we could just easily randomize from, but I guess we have to write our own! 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.

//ETA and yes loose deadline of a month or so definitely sounds like the way to go for both of us xD

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!

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 :)
