Two entries this month: a chocolate-inspired multifandom set for [livejournal.com profile] monthlyinspo round 31, and an orange Supernatural set for [livejournal.com profile] 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 :)

Omg thanks so much! Idk how you came up with that many words for these, lbr these are all kinda samey, but I'm super happy you enjoyed the set anyway :3

Oh the only reason I was able to make these is by making myself a strict schedule for what I need to do each day. I'm a creature of habit for sure so if I take it as a habit to make one icon every day I can usually get 10-30 icons done in a month... However, I'd rather not make an icon during working days if I also have something else to watch that day, cause otherwise all my time will be spent on watching things :p so now I can pretty much only icon on weekends, which means that I'll definitely need to wait a bit before entering another 10+ set challenge, but hopefully I can still get some icontest entries done this month! (unless there's like an epically good monthlyinspo challenge coming next but I hope not for my own sanity, I really need a break xD)
