1.1 Fandom10in30 - Sherlock and Tomb Raider 2018

[deletia]

Hello, I'm back?
It's been a long while since I posted on livejournal, back in the day I was afeastforme   and I used to post my icons on enkindlers   before dropping out of the graphic world, closing my website and starting my art career; in recent months tho, I felt the need to come back to iconing, so here I am!
I have 10+1 icons for round 44 of fandom10in30 and some other icons I made recently!
Wish I could say that my old works is still out somewhere, but it's not! If you have questions about any of the icons, feel free to ask, I have all my psds 'cause OCD is killing it!

ICONS
6 Sherlock, 5 Tomb Raider 2018, 4 Death on the Nile, 2 Dreamcatcher's Gahyeon, 3 Taeyeon, 1 A walk to Remember, 1 Daredevil

Lovely crops and colors, my faves are: 1, 4, 6, 7, 8, 9, 13, 18, and 19.

Thank you so much! It's been a hot minute since I made icons but I gotta say I like them quite a bit, they're very simple but "comforting" in a way, especially because I am sadly stuck in the 2010-2015 when it comes to fandoms :') NGL 7 is my fave from TR batch, I think it's just the right amount of everything!

[alexia_drake]

Well, with the Plain Background theme, you had to make them simple. I've also signed-up for this challenge, and I rarely make icons with plain BG, I prefer to use textures, so it will be different for once.

A lot of people make icons from older fandoms for a long time, and I only very recently watched the Daredevil TV Series, so I do make icons of that as well. Just to say that you are not alone. lol

I agree, if I had to chose my ultimate favorite, it is 7 :)

[deletia]

I used to make a lot of different kind of icons back in the day, but now it's a struggle, especially after years; I'm glad my desire to icon came back tho, I needed a different art outlet from my illustrations and this does well!

I'm glad I'm not alone in iconing old/unknown fandoms! It's always been like this and I like it, it's not like I'm picky or anything tbh, I just don't watch/enjoy much anymore! Like Sherlock, I LOVE IT, but boy how trashy/problematic it is to watch >_<

I loved DD and Punisher especially because of Karen; she's just so good!

Always great to see more icons shared!

[deletia]

Yes! I've come back since 2017 and everything is new and very different, but I'm really happy my icon-spark is back!

[bold_seer]

Those are lovely! I love the crop and colouring of 5, also 6 and 7. I like your Branagh!Poirot icons, as well, the text in 12 and the crop of 13. The crop and strong chiaroscuro effect make 19 gorgeous.

[deletia]

Thank you so much! 5 is probably my fave of that batch with the alt, because I was listening to Dance on Our Graves and it was so 2012 post-reichenbach-lock fandom craze, that time was brilliant back there!

I don't particularly enjoy Branagh!Poirot, but NGL, the movies are SO GOOD to look at it's a pleasure to icon! I will do some from MotOE and it's so nice to see the contrasting palette, one is very bluish, and DotN is very warm-yellowy, best color combo imo!

19's cap is: SO PRETTY, I had to repaint a bit of things, but boy, that cap is just perfect for everything very dramatic-y!

I'm so glad to see you back! Love this set, especially #2, #6 and #7 <3

[deletia]

Thank you, it feels good to be back! :D
Ah #7 is winning out everybody and I'm glad of it, even if that movie was very difficult to work with!

[tinny]

Hellooo and welcome back! I find iconing is such a relaxing hobby, I'm glad I'm not the only one who feels its draw even after many years. :)

I love the first two Sherlock icons and icons 6, 7, and 8 in particular. I love all the painted-looking ones in the alt section, too!

[deletia]

Hiiii!
I'm glad to be back even if it's a sporadic thing; I used to icon a lot back in the day, but lately between spending 6-8 hours on paintings and gaming with friends, I don't have much energy left!
But sometimes the needs still arises, so I give in!

Aaaaah the painted ones are my fave just because I spent so much time on them! I used to make really bad painted icons back in the day, before I actually learned my way around colors and color theory :')

[geckoholic]

Such beautiful coloring throughout; I especially like #9, #13, and #19!

[deletia]

Thank you so much! #9 was a hard one for me, because I wanted to repaint most of her hair, but I couldn't find a good way to do it, so I only painted the two things on the sides which works as a reminder of Angelina Jolie's Lara Croft! I love both versions of Lara because they're so different from one another!

[magical_sid]

oh wow what an amazing set. Love the crop in 6 and 5 a lot.
And the lightning in 19 and 20 is also super cool.

[deletia]

Thank you! #6 crop was me being stubborn on using that cap that wasn't helping herself at all :')
Movies with such framing are hella hard to icon for me! But Alicia with her hair down was too pretty to pass the chance!

#19'c caps just calls for dramatic, that show has such a weird-but-good lighting its very easy to exagerate!
