I guess it's time for an icon dump, these are the icons I've made during March and April. After my previous lighting-focused simpler set, I wanted to go to a style that is very bold with textures, and especially get some more practise using painty and grungy textures. I also wanted to go for extra saturated colors and high contrast. I have no idea where I'm going next, but probably more muted!

I know icon dumps are less interesting than brand new challenge entries, which is why I haaate making icon dumps and wish I could at least pair them with an entry of some sort, but like half of these haven't actually been posted anywhere before, I make a lot of icons outside of challenges for a personal project (ask about that if you want some very bad ideas xD). Hope you'll find something to like - please let me know what you think, and feel free to use any you want! Hover for fandom :)

I think this style suits you very well and I absolutely love the bold vibrant colors here! <3

I've probably already told you how much I love most of these, as for the rest I love the rainbow!Rose icon, it's so beautiful! <3 Great composition in #2, I absolutely loved that show back in the day and I'm big fan of Russell Tovey since then (he has the cutest ears ever!!). The coloring in 3 is gorgeous, as is the text work and composition in #5. The color combination in #6 is one of my favourites and the shadows/lighting in the icon is great. The whole LOST set for 7days is amazing and although I've never watched Survivor these aussie guys are pretty hot :D

Totally get you on the icon dumps part, I've been trying to combine them with some sets for other challenges, but there are not many of them right now. And now of course I have to ask about the personal project, because I need some bad ideas myself :D

Thanks a lot for the lovely comment!

Ok, so here's my totally random project, it's a bit complicated but I hope it makes sense. It's a character focused rewatch/iconing project. Basically I have a list of 100 characters and ships (which don't have to be romantic, just any interesting relationship) that I like the most out of any shows. I then use some sort of method to pick one or multiple of these subjects at a time (usually one, but for a fixed-size set I like to pick them all at once). This selection method could be a random number generator, a game (I developed a board game that I sometimes play with

thyla87 to determine our subject picks for a challenge set), or a semirandom method (my most used one is a simple algorithm of dividing my subjects into two random stacks, turning the two topmost cards and eliminating one of the stacks based on the subject at the top - I keep doing this halving of the stack until there's only one subject left).

Anyway, now that I have my subject, I need to rewatch the first episode (or movie) that has this character in it and that I haven't yet rewatched for this project. If it's a ship, I rewatch the first episode that has them both. I write a review of this episode (mostly to keep track of which episodes I've rewatched, but it's also fun to score the episodes and keep a running list of episodes I've liked the most, I also give plus and minus points to characters I enjoyed or disliked in that episode to keep track of the best characters :D), and after that I icon my subject from that episode. That's pretty much it, there's no schedule and I'm definitely not hoarding all these icons to post at once cause idek when this will end, I've been posting them all along since November when I started this.

So far I've iconned and rewatched 96 episodes/movies. Of course at some point I'll have rewatched all episodes that have a character, that's when the character is removed from the list and replaced with someone new. It's a really fun way to both rewatch my favorite shows and select subjects for challenges, which has always been difficult for me, but it also means that most of the icons I make are not for challenges cause it's a bit difficult sometimes to pair random subjects with challenges that have any subject-specific themes. I still want to keep doing it this way, because tbh I'm at a point where I'm more interested in the rewatching part, and the iconing part is kind of just a fun extra. Anyway that's it, sorry for the long ramble but I don't know how to explain this mess more briefly xD tl;dr I'm a giant nerd.

It all make sense lol

Actually it's weird how similar and yet so different my iconing project is :D I started with 70 characters/ships and the goal is to make one icon of each for a total of 70 that will be posted at once. And although I don't have the rewatch part, I always end up rewatching some episodes (or sometimes seasons) which really slows my progression and now I'm little behind :/ It doesn't help that the first few icons ended up with text and I decided to go all in and make all 70 text icons :D

Random number generators are great, it always helps when I'm wondering what/who to icon and lately it's been more fun to make icons outside of challenges, there's no pressure :D

Ooh that's a super fun challenge too! Great minds think (sort of) alike I guess, I didn't think anyone else was crazy enough to design these massive extra challenges for themselves! :D How far are you? You're so prolific that I imagine you're almost done probably.

I'm at 45/70, but I still have time to make it before my original deadline, just have to make an icon a day. That's why I've slow my roll on entering every challenge that's out there :D
