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 :)

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?

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 :)
