Here's my last minute entry for monthlyinspo, round 19! Trying to get back to iconing after a few months off, but boy it just takes so much time.

So the theme was seasons, and I wanted to do this a bit differently. This is not an x number of summer, x winter etc set. Instead I chose to focus on only two seasons, this set represents a progression from winter to spring the way it is here in Finland. Winter starts dark. Then the snow falls and it's all white/bright and very cold. Then the snow start slooowly melting and revealing all these other colours, but this process continues well into the spring. So that's what I was trying to do, but if I have to divide these cleanly into seasons, let's say the first half is winter, the bottom half is spring. In terms of technique, I was really feeling textures this month so these are texture clusterfucks and I have no regrets x)

It takes so much time to find the right one, and usually the payoff is pretty low cause an icon can work perfectly without any textures.

Ah, right, but I love them anyway. :D I often tend to overlook how a texture can make an icon worse, too, by slightly changing the shades/angles, especially on faces. It takes some extra work, definitely.

One day (on a holiday maybe) it would be great to try to make a set where I try to do everything right

Haha, me, too. I can't wait for Christmas vacation!

I got very lucky with 14, the textures just fit right, but I wouldn't go as far as to call it exemplary xD super flattered though, thanks!


Haha, well maybe not exemplary for you - your thing is complex compositions I could never hope to match - but exemplary for what I can achieve.

Yeah I've watched a few eps of Outlander, I really like period stuff and I found the show very promising, but watching more shows is pretty low on my priorities list atm. Maybe one day, though! All the scenery in it was gorgeous and I liked the atmosphere.

I hated the books, but I got drawn into the first season by the extremely well done female-gaze wedding night episode. I never got back into it after season one, though. My tumblr dash is still full of it, but somehow it never made me start up again.

And then of course I am so deep into cdrama right now that I don't even want to watch anything else at all. I dropped all my shows, let's not even talk about starting new ones (that are not Chinese /o\).
