monthlyinspo round 31, and an orange Supernatural set for themeofthemonth round 5!After the text-focused set I made last time, I wanted to focus on simpler icons this time, and specifically on lighting as the main technique. I've never considered lighting to be one of my strengths, so this practise was definitely welcome and needed. Unfortunately I didn't have as much time as I usually like to take for iconing, because I was dumb and miscalculated that I could easily make two sets this month :p Well I'm not making that mistake again, and I think I'm gonna need to take a short leave from iconing until the current Ausvivor season is over and I have some of my working nights free of shows, so that I could watch the things I need to watch for iconing!
In the monthlyinspo set, hover for the chocolate flavor the icon was inspired by, I hope they fit the colors enough.
The SPN set for themeofthemonth was challenging cause I don't normally use a lot of orange in my icons, but that's why I chose this color, always up for a challenge. It's actually super hard to make shiny icons in full orange cause the lighter parts always turn yellow, but I think they have enough orange still to fit?
As always, I'd love to hear your thoughts, and feel free to use any you want :)

From the montlyinspo set my absolute favourite is 6! Love everything about it - the dark tones, the text, the coloring, the lighting and of course Moriarty! The blending in 2 is great and it's RED, I love red icons :D Great coloring and texture use in 3. The composition in 8 is amazing and the pyramid at the center is a really nice touch. And I love the contrast between light/dark in the Orphan Black icon.
Love the whole set for themeofthemonth. Don't worry, they definitely look orange enough on my screen. As I'm catching up on SPN at the moment I really appreciate some icons. The cropping and lighting overall is really amazing, especially in 19 and 20. The text in 19 is also great, love the arrangement. And 16 is so simple, but so pretty!
From the misc icons I really like the composition in 27, the coloring in and lighting in 31 and the color combination in 34 :)

I too took the themeofthemonth set as a chance to catch up on SPN a tiny bit. I like to watch an episode and make one icon for it, so I got ten episodes forward from where I was and was finally able to start S12 (I'm sooo behind), but idk when I can continue. It was decently good, but didn't compel me to take time to watch more, if that makes sense.

Ooof, if I tried the one icon per episode my posts would be even more all over the place fandom wise, I usually go with whatever fandom I'm into the moment + whatever I've watched recently. And I agree about SPN, it's not as good as seasons 1-4, but at least it's better than the mess that were seasons 7-9, which caused me to drop it in the first place.
