31 multifandom icons (monthlyinspo + end of 2018)  


Fandoms:
Pitch Perfect [10]
Teen Wolf [4]
Once Upon a Time [2]
Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Doctor Who, Dorian Gray (2009), Fringe, Game of Thrones, Halt and Catch Fire, iZombie, LOST, Merlin, Orange Is the New Black, Parks and Recreation, Sherlock, Stardust (2007), Survivor AUS 2017 [1 each]


Alright, so here's a last minute entry for [livejournal.com profile] monthlyinspo round 20. The theme was music, and I didn't want to use it the same way I did in this 10in30 entry where I used lyrics on everything, so I went with a very simple interpretation this time and chose to icon Pitch Perfect. It took a while for me to come up with anything fitting so only icons 1-12 are inspired by the theme.
The 'look' I went for here was pretty much just pastelly colors, and simple compositions with lots of negative space. Personally it's not my favorite set and I'm not super proud of it cause I feel like I can make better icons, but then again there are so many different tastes and sometimes icons I hate end up being someones favorites so I figured why not post anyway and see if someone likes it. Sometimes a simple icon with nice colors can be enough, I'll probably do something a bit more creative next! Besides, I still have icons from 2018 to post and it's not enough for an icon dump (which I hate posting anyway), so this is the only way I'm gonna get them posted :p

Please let me know if you like some of these! I know I haven't been around much again, I'm honestly a bit overwhelmed cause there's so much going on and so many end of the year posts have been made and I want to check them all out now that I may have more time. The past Survivor season took a lot of dedication cause I wanted to visit the Reddit all the time and listen to all the podcasts, and also I got this giant puzzle as a Christmas present so I've been addicted to solving it :p But I'm almost done with it and it's offseason from Survivor, so now I'll try to make time for being a part of the icon world again and hope that it can maybe bring out some new inspiration.

Use any you want, hover for fandom :)

Aww thanks!! :) Enjoy!

Stunning composition and coloring all around ♥ I love 1, 4, 9 and 15 from that monthlyinspo set and 25 (gorgeous), 26 (the blending! the textures!) and 29 (composition/text!) from the second one (choosing was hard). They are beautiful and so vibrant, and I'm in love. I'm probably taking more than a few with credit ofc.
And gosh, you reminded me I need to watch DvG esp after the good things I heard. I miss being in the US and watching live. I'm iffy on what EoE might turn out to be but my favorites and Joe are coming back ;_; /unrelated survivor comment
neonspider: 12/clara for fear of losing you[personal profile] neonspider on January 5th, 2019 05:08 pm (UTC)
Omg, thank you so much for the lovely comment! ♥ And yesss you should definitely watch DvG, it's really good. LOL at "my favorites and Joe", my feelings exactly x)
(Ugh I wish watching live was an option. Here in Finland we've just finished airing season 32, I repeat 32. Wtf.)
[identity profile] luppiters.livejournal.com on January 5th, 2019 05:47 pm (UTC)
I will need to find the time soon but I start work soon, sigh. I got into Survivor during Cambodia (and then watched a few clips + previous seasons because I had no time) while I was studying in the US. There was something to watching live that was so exciting! Spain doesn't air it at all, wtf. (And if I talk about it, people think about our trashy version, sigh) Seems like Finland is at Amazon Prime/Hulu levels, :P

Seriously, I was going maybe they didn't bring Jay because they'd have two people from the same season but Kelley and Joe are too! There are so many surfer dude archetypes that are much better.
neonspider: sayid silhouette blend[personal profile] neonspider on January 6th, 2019 07:41 am (UTC)
Oh wow, Cambodia must have been a super confusing season to start with - I'm glad it managed to suck you in though! :D

Spain doesn't air it at all, wtf. (And if I talk about it, people think about our trashy version, sigh)
Omg, so you have one of those too xD We have a celeb version that just got started last year. I guess it wasn't terrible, but making it a celeb version is really dumb cause our prize money is not that big, so there's no incentive to play hard to get it, especially for these people who benefit much more from maintaining a nice public image, so there wasn't a lot of gameplay involved.

OMG YES Jay would have been an awesome choice! Devon and Malcolm would be solid choices too. Just not Joe, he's like the blandest iteration of this archetype.
[identity profile] luppiters.livejournal.com on January 6th, 2019 05:49 pm (UTC)
I think I was halfway there (everyone was talking about it on my twitter tl) and I could google the basics. The epic Wentworth idol play was so exciting I simply had to catch up. Thank god for the super detailed wikis and the reddit summaries I found, haha :)

We also have a random people version but I think it's also like three months long and, despite it having some of the US Survivor basics (but in weird ways) like Redemption Island, it's different. I think the vote-off is voted by the public (noms might be the castaways)... but I've never bothered. It's live and nowhere the strategy and social play the Survivor I like has, haha.

omg, yes. Malcolm and Devin would've been great as well. Joe is just... ugh. Why do Jeff/the casuals love him? Malcolm is also loved and he went off in one of the most wtf vote-offs there've ever been.

I love all the pastel colors in the monthlyinspo set! Gorgeous compositions on 2, 3, 5 & 11. Also, I really love the crops on 4, 7 & 9. :)

The compositions on 24, 25 & 30 are wonderful too. Great work all around. <3

Only you can make the pastel tones vibrant! Really, I do not know how you make your icons so enchanting, I love them all!

I somehow completely missed this set o.O
The pastel, yet vibrant colors of the monthlyinspo set is amazing! And I love the negative space on them, too. The composition of 2, 11, and 15 is awesome :D
neonspider: animated magenta 12 ♥[personal profile] neonspider on January 12th, 2019 07:32 am (UTC)
Thanks so much!! :)

I think you're selling yourself short when saying these are not creative enough. I especially enjoy how they all look together, it's like an art project. Pop art, that's what it reminds me of, with the bright pastel colours, the shapes and objects such as the headphones, and the collage style. Great set and beautiful colours!
neonspider: summer can't last forever[personal profile] neonspider on January 12th, 2019 07:35 am (UTC)
Aw, thanks so much for the lovely encouraging feedback! Yes I was very hard on this set cause I meant to spend a lot of time on it during Christmas holidays, but I was just lazy and didn't do anything, so I feel like this could have been much better if I hadn't been procrastinating :p I'm super happy you still see so much good in these, thank you!! ♥
[identity profile] magicrubbish.livejournal.com on January 8th, 2019 10:40 pm (UTC)
Gosh the harmony and cohesion of your sets are always a marvel. I really love how you put them together, each icon is distinct yet together forming a united set. <3 Love the text work of icons 2 and 8 , and the starry texture use in icons 14 , 16 ( I'm a big fan of them starry textures ) , also the negative space in icons 12, 13 , 17 just perfect. But my fav icon or you can say pick of the set is Icon #14. Perfect coloring, sharpening , texture use and pic choice. It all came together . Also loved the Dorian Grey icon 24. <3
neonspider: pydia don't hold back[personal profile] neonspider on January 12th, 2019 07:41 am (UTC)
Omg thanks so much for the extra wonderful and detailed comment!! ♥ Yeah I'm kinda obsessed with set harmony, I'm super glad you like that aspect :)
tinny: tw_stiles_blue crying[personal profile] tinny on January 10th, 2019 08:30 pm (UTC)
You made it! Yesssss!

I love pastel, myself, and I think you've done a great job with a look that's not your normal go-to vibrance. The plain blocky coloring gives them a quietly serene look that goes extremely well with pastel.

I adore the composition in 9! 14 and 15 are simply amazing! I also like 16, 6, and 7.

From the dump icons, Daenerys really stands out. I love the purple-yellow combination. So beautiful.

I also love 23 with the frame sticking out of the flowers. I love the vibrant orange in 22, and the grungy look in 26.
neonspider: johnlock they don't matter[personal profile] neonspider on January 12th, 2019 07:48 am (UTC)
Omg thanks so much for the lovely feedback!

Yeah challenging myself stylewise was all I did last year! This wasn't as big of a stretch as say the bw set, but it was still a struggle trying to keep them not neon, and simple without feeling like they're plain. It's funny how I adore simple and muted icons by other makers, just not my own. But I gotta keep changing it up cause there was a point when I realized that the more I use the same style the less impact it will have, so I gotta come up with new things to experiement with and I intend to continue. It's just super counterintuitive to always go for something that I know is not my strength when I know I could make better icons in my signature techniques, but well, it is what it is. Thanks so much again. ♥
[identity profile] kaprica.livejournal.com on January 12th, 2019 08:21 pm (UTC)
wow! that icon of sun and jin is literally the most impressive thing i have ever seen. your composition is OUT OF THIS WORLD. and, as always, gorgeous colors in everything!
neonspider: alien 12[personal profile] neonspider on January 12th, 2019 09:21 pm (UTC)
Omg thank you so much!! I'm super happy you like 26, I put a lot of thought into that one. Really huge thanks for the lovely comment <3
[identity profile] sometimesartist.livejournal.com on January 13th, 2019 01:09 pm (UTC)
They're so pretty. I'll be saving some the Pitch Perfect ones :)

I feel like whenever I comment on your posts I always mention how your colourings and lighting are flawless and all that (and they are!), but here can I just say: Your Text Work! I started an inspiration folder again so when it came to saving icons I found myself in awe of the text arrangements on 2, 15, 19, 23, 25, 29, 30 and 31!
Also really love 3, 7, 14, 18, 20, 26 and 28. ♥

What a way to round up 2018 and start 2019 - can't wait to see what you make next :)
neonspider: jears[personal profile] neonspider on February 3rd, 2019 03:17 pm (UTC)
Coming back to this set I like it even less than I did when posting it, so it truly warms my heart that you found so many positive things to say about these. Thank you so much for constantly being amazing. Also wow, an inspiration folder - that brings back some memories. I should restart mine too. Back when I had one, I was an idiot and never saved the icons with proper file names so I don't even know who made the ones I have there now, but some of them are still amazing, and very different from icons that are out there now!
