20 multifandom icons for 20muses round 9

[neonspider]

Fandoms:
Atonement (2007) [4]
Dorian Gray (2009) [4]
The Fall (2006) [4]
Moonrise Kingdom (2012) [4]
Sherlock [4]

Omg WHY did I try to do two challenges in one month?? This was INSANE, but I gotta say the challenge post at 20muses really spoke to me! The inspiration was classic literature and the technical and interpretative themes in the post gave me the spark to try to make some more muted, grungy icons. I used hard mode. I also tried to match the palettes cause they were all super pretty. I loved each of the literary inspirations, so I made 4 icons per book and used the same fandom for each mini set. Having just rewatched some of my favorite movies for my previous set, I wanted to use the most fitting ones for these. Also randomly used Sherlock for Frankenstein cause why not :)

Everyone's sets for this round have been freaking impressive so I don't know if my last minute entry can add anything to that, but I hope you find something to like! I'm super behind on my commenting and that's because of how busy this damn set kept me for these past couple of weeks but I'll make sure to fully appreciate everyone's hard work for this challenge. I'm just extra happy that the comm is back.

Your posts are always so depressing (in a good way) because I know I could never (and that's okay, haha). I've been so uninspired this month/year that seeing you churn out greatness (twice in a month!) makes me feel so inadequate, haha. You're just on a whole other level and I can't wait to see what you do next <3 Your posts are such an inspiration to me, really.

The compositions and the coloring (and the texture and text work) is impeccable, truly. The 20muses post was so great and I love seeing what inspired you from those works and how you translated it into your own icons :) Everything about 1, 3, 6, 16 takes my breath away but I like the mutedly vibrant coloring in the last two, or the grunge-y feel in the others. You are so good that I can't say much of value other than I truly love this post a lot! All 20 icons ♥
