Suits for monthlyinspo round 21

Fandoms:
Suits [20]

First actual set of 2019! These are for round 21 at monthlyinspo. Featuring a show I'm now very much into: Suits. I just started season 4 so these are from the early seasons. As you can see from the icons I'm fully into the Marvey of it all, but I made some icons of the others as well because really the entire cast is great.

It's not an easy show to icon because there's not a lot you can do with colors. There's also not a lot of interesting caps or angles so anything too focused on cropping or cap selection is out of the window. And the lighting sucks most of the time. Really the main thing going for Suits iconwise is that there's a LOT of great quotes, so I knew that this should be a text-heavy set. I also intended to create a darker set with lots of black, but I only made a few icons before I gave in to more colors :p
Personally I feel much better about this than my last set, which I admittedly didn't put a lot of effort into. These on the other hand took ALL the time and effort I could possibly put into them, which is also why I've still been MIA. I don't know how people icon and exist at the same time?? Do you all have time machines?? :/ I need to figure this out in order to be a better part of the community, but at least this time I managed to make a set I don't hate so yay!


The challenge was a technical bingo. You can see the techniques I used in this card:




Icons 1-5 are for the selected horizontal row and 6-10 for the selected vertical column in the same order, you can also hover on the icon to see the theme. The rest are ACs, because I had a ton of ideas on my own and they didn't fit any of these rows. I hope people don't think I'm a lazy maker or trying to take the easy way out when really it's just that I have too many ideas and I don't want to kill all my darlings just to fit an extra challenge. Don't get me wrong I still think it's cool that many people go for the full 20 for the theme! I just hope I'm not judged negatively for doing my own thing instead :)

*___* The compositions are amazing and so is coloring (I love color combinations!). Perfect use of text.
Wonderful post!

[emiels.livejournal.com]

Oh wow, these are all lovely. The textwork is just on a whole different level here!

And lol, totally agreed on Suits caps. I used to be super into it a few years ago, and wanted to icon it, but it just looks so boring? Most of the time, they're just standing around in samey looking suits. It's the woooorst.

The text work on these is amazing! I also love the vibrant colors <3

[vanessa-lj.livejournal.com]

OMG that set amazing! your compositions are always fabulous, but these are really amazing! As always I love the use you make of the text, in addition to resume the quotes, you can turn the words into a true architectural element and for this I admire you immensely (I go into crisis every time I open the element Text ^^)
Difficult to find my favorites, all the icons are wonderful, 4, 5, 7, 8, 12, 13, 17 and 19 have impressed me more, but I will keep them all!

[apologizeg]

Seriously, no one does text and compositions like you. I'm in awe *_*

I can't even pick a fave because they're all so good!
I've never even tried to icon this show, but your icon creativity makes it look so iconable!

[luppiters.livejournal.com]

Your coloring (so vibrant! those color combinations!) and composition is amazing -- even more than usual. I say it all the time but I'm awe of your text work.
You're completely right that the show is endlessly quotable but it's hard to icon it or be inspired to icon it. (The lighting is so, so bad for that.)

I find it hard to pick just a few (can I choose all 20?) but 2, 5, 7, 8, 11 (!!!!), 15, 16. I am probably saving a bunch of them as well. What a stunning set! ♥

WOW! I love suits and these icons are spectacular!
Everything about them is perfect. `Text, coloring, composition, quotes. I love every single one ❤️
I totally agree with you this is not an easy show to icon. to find a good cap is very hard.
Great job!

I absolutely loved how you used text as a form of complex composition in your entire set . I simply love texts in icons , always try to include one in my icons , if possible or allowed. The variation of space use and font diversity is some thing to behold. Also , I love your coloring , which has a very old era movie feels ( wonder if that's an underlying inspiration perhaps ?? )

[lady-kingsley.livejournal.com]

I didn't think your icons could get any more better, but again you outdid yourself <3
Love every single one of them, I don't know how you come up with so many amazing ideas :)

[erinm-4600.livejournal.com]

12 levels of perfection.

[debris4spike]

I so love your work - I wish I could do text-work like you.

My favourites are #2 & 7

[lady_turner]

OH MY! ♥ I think that every icon maker dreams of being as good as you with text work! All those compositions are just amazing!
Really can't say my favourites here because they're all drop dead gorgeous, but I'll try to pick the best of the best: 4, 8, 9, 12, 15, 16 and 17!

[violateraindrop]

Your use of text is just phenomenal <3
And the compositions! These all look so clean and simply perfect. I have a hard time even coming up with a favorite because the set as a whole makes so much sense. What I can say is that I'm a big fan of the b&w+red of the last row :D

[thyla87.livejournal.com]

For some reason, I feel like I always start your comments these word; OMG!!!! Seriously, OMG!! :D :D Your coloring is beyond belief and breathtaking!! Also your text!! ♥♥ I always adore them and these are just marvellous and powerful! I don´t know how get your ideas! Sometimes I'd like to get in you head :D

1&5 are powerful and I love that quote both of them! So cute ;D I love the balance this icon and monocrome character. I love the color of 6 and text!! They totally are Batman and Robin ;D And omg; 7 has so stunning text and composition and balance!! Love it ♥♥ And text of 8 is so cute♥ I love the blending, text, colors and the lighting of 11!! Amazing! And 12 has marvelous blending and text is spectacular! I think this is mine number one favorite ♥
12&15 has so pretty color and text work! So strong text and bg of 16! I love the red color and some reason it gives me so powerful feeling!

[frelling-tralk.livejournal.com]

Beautiful icons :)

[novindalf]

WOW. I know you're the top dog when it comes to text composition, but just wow. There's so much inventive composition going on here it's so hard to choose favourites, but I have to pick out 2 for the hilarity, 4 for the background text use, 8 for the shapes use, 10 for the elegance, 14 for the colouring, 16 & 17 for the red black and white combinations and also 17 for the chess pieces and 20 for the lighting. Seriously stunning post.
