Suits for monthlyinspo round 21  


Fandoms:
Suits [20]

First actual set of 2019! These are for round 21 at [livejournal.com profile] 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 :)

Lol I am certainly not the 'top dog' of text composition, it takes so painstakingly long and so many failed attempts before I get it to work at all :D others make it look effortless, so my hat's off to them. But I'm sooooo happy you liked these and took the time to leave such a wonderful comment, thank you so much!! ♥♥

The finished product looks amazing though!! I have so much respect for your efforts because the end result is always incredible and inspiring ♥

What with the shitstorm that is a_i at the moment I figured commenting on people's posts was the least I could do

That is super sweet, thank you!

Oh god a_i.... I love that your brain works that way, turning something bad into positivity is super admirable and not something everyone can do. Thanks for being such an amazing presence! ♥
