icons: #5

[lirazel]

while i didn't have any internet, i made a bunch of icons. some of them are really ugly. some i quite like. if any of you have the time/inclination to tell me which ones work for you (and possibly why?) i'd really appreciate it! you definitely don't have to be in this fandom to have an opinion on graphics.

These are really interesting! I have no idea about this fandom, but I absolutely love #'s 59, 55, 51, 38, 01, 08, 11 and 16. I love your use of textures, it's very bold and the colors are really lovely! My icon preferences change almost daily, so sometimes I get color fixations, something I want clean icons, and sometimes really messy ones. I think the ones I liked in here were the ones where the central image was "clean" and the background mostly defined by the texture, I loved those. But yay for iconing!

Thank you! I wanted to do some stuff with color and texture instead of just straightforward icons, but I wasn't always sure what worked and what didn't. I really, really appreciate you giving me some feedback! (Especially because I love your icons!)

will probably steal 3 (and I NEVER would have predicted I'd like a green-Gyu icon), 7, 12, 20, and (um holy cow) 23.

Yay! I'm so glad you found some you liked (including green-Gyu!) and I'm glad to know which ones they were!

I like 12 and 16 the most! The coloring/textures (I don't really know icon speak) are really creative and pretty.

Thank you thank you, hon! And it is good to hear from you! (I may make an Orphan Black post at some point, but I think it's going to be a list-thing and not an actual review. Like 'things i loved/liked/didn'tlike/wanttoseelater' etc.)

*sputters* ARE YOU JOKING ME. THIS ENTIRE POST IS TO DIE FOR. *rolls around in agony*

Okay, I want to be like ALL OF THEM ARE MY FAVOURITE!!!! but I'll be more specific for the sake of being bearable: 16 (usually I'm wtf about the smudge over the eye look but omfg I love it here + the purple for Hoya is lol/perf); 08/57/58 (THE MATCHING PINK FOR DW'S HAIIIIIIIR + the way you've cropped the image for max. hair porn VV GOOD), 11/52 (no doubt this is my bias talking but literally every Namu cap you've used is stunning and I'm particularly enamored of the texture/cropping/colour on these ones and also I'm obsessed with -ve space in case you haven't noticed); 38 (THIS CAP!!!! + plus the bright yellow really offsets Jong's black leather); 02 (omg angsty grey Gyu, let me be ok); 17/43/44 (for some reason I really like how you've made it look like the purple colour is ~wrapping itself around Yeol); and omg let me halt here.

TL;DR I love your work and look forward to angsting about which ones to upload into my userpics later. Good day.

You are far better to me than I deserve. THANK YOU FOR BEING SO WONDERFUL!

usually I'm wtf about the smudge over the eye look but omfg I love it here + the purple for Hoya is lol/perf

I'm picky about it myself but for some reason I wanted to do it plus PURPLE yay I'm glad you liked it!

no doubt this is my bias talking but literally every Namu cap you've used is stunning and I'm particularly enamored of the texture/cropping/colour on these ones and also I'm obsessed with -ve space in case you haven't noticed

Okay, I was most proud of the way those turned out too so YAY. For some reason the shadows of Woohyun's face suits the whole 'layer of color' deal better than anyone else's? Myungsoo's is nearly impossible, it's so frustrating, I kept trying and trying different colors and none of them worked, but Woohyun I can layer with nearly any color and it looks good. WHAT IS YOUR FACE NAMU.

omg angsty grey Gyu, let me be ok

I wanted them to all be COLORS but then there was Gyu and grey just FITS HIM.

for some reason I really like how you've made it look like the purple colour is ~wrapping itself around Yeol

That was an accident! I opened the color layer and it just magically fit right over his shoulder like that and I was so happy! I mean, if It hadn't, I could have moved things around so it would, but I didn't even have to! It was like magic!

You are the bestest. Thank you so much!
