1-20 (+2 alts) - Hermione Granger (Harry Potter) for 20inspirations
23 - 42 - Pretty Little Liars for inspired20in20
43 - 47 - Teen Wolf
48 - 59 - Assorted Fandoms ( Harry Potter, Dragonball Z, Powerpuff Girls, Dexter's Laboratory) for pixelheroes

Notes:

1. GAWD. I AM DONE. I NEVER THOUGH I WOULD SEE THIS DAY. And actually churn out 20 icons in one and a half days (for insp20in20). As you can see, they also look like they have been done swiftly. But I kind of like them?


2. I am not that pleased with my 20insp set. I mean, I am mostly pleased but then I lost the drive in the last stretch of making icons for it and IT SHOWS. :( Also, wow, obscure crops kicked my butt. As did down the rabbit hole. Andddd blocking. ;_;


3. The final bunch of icons are for a lovely multimaker comm I am a part of, pixelheroes. GDI, making icons for the first challenge of nostalgia. And also reinforced that I am oldddddddd. But, life moves on.


4. I am one icon short of sixty. THIS BUMS ME OUT GUYS. I like ever numbers!


5. Thank you kindly for reading through this if you did. :D


6. Also, wow, for once, not even a single icon of Community. :O

I tried to primarily focus on Drama and Mystery and Crime. I wanted to be a little bit srz bizness without the teenage romance part. I would like to think I did pretty okay. :D

hermioneeeee yesss

I really like blocking, vibrant and retro (lololol) from your 20insp set and the whole of your insp20in20 set is just fab - I mean how do you just bang out that kind of magic in less than two days? My favourite of the bunch though is 30; that crop is just pretty darn epic and the text placement really complements everything so very well. I also love 23, 26, 37 and 42.

[applepips]

Retro couldn't have been done any other way. :D

Shoot no. No magic involved. Just me feverishly thinking, "honour your goddamn commitments pips. dew it. yes, you can." and I did.

Thank you for your lovely comment! :D

Your PLL ones are GORGEOUS! I especially love 1, 3, 4, 30, 31, 32, and 34 :)

AW MAN, thank you! I am really glad you like them! :D

[vintagic.livejournal.com]

Hermione is the best. I took all over her, Harry and Ron.

Your PLL icons are absolutely gorgeous *__* Taking 28!!!

Also love the icons you made for pixelheroes :D

[applepips]

WOOT. I am glad you like them both! Thank you! :D

[vapor.livejournal.com]

I love the colors in your 20insp set! #16 is my favorite. ^_^ 48-50 also made me laugh. Great work!

[applepips]

Thank you! I am glad you like them. And it's always good to know I've made someone laugh. :D

Really like your coloring and lighting work. Favorites include 6, 12, 18, 25 and 32. And snagging some PLL ones!

[applepips]

[rocketgirl2.livejournal.com]

Gorgeous post! I just wanted to let you know that I put the first 20 of your PLL icons in the voting post for inspired20in20 - let me know if that wasn't the selection you wanted. :)

[applepips]

Of coours, of course! Those were Teen Wolf and by mistake I clubbed them together with my insp20 set. Thank you! :)

Nerdy sexy beauty Hermione :D
These icons are so pretty! The muted tones on Obscure Crops, stock, border, retro and #16 are amazing :) Will save some :D

[applepips]

I know right? She is the best. :D

Glad you like them! And thank you! :D

This post is so lovely!

I love your Hermione set, the colouring is absolutely magnificent! I love the softness and monochromatic feel of Pastel. The subtle lighitng is absolutely phenomenal there, and the icy blue tones you've played with are gorgeous. The lighting in Minimalism is kind of magical as well, and the natural colouring there is gorgeous. Border is amazing. Utterly amazing. The colours are so, so gorgeous - love the pastel pinks, and the lighting is phenomenal. The crop is wonderful, and the text just brings everything together beautifully! The composition of retro is fantastic too. I love the texture work there, and the text is so brilliantly placed and spectacularly done. The crop of #14 is all kinds of amazing. That scene is a nightmare to colour, and the way you've done it so elegantly, with the gorgeous subtle, vintage tones is so remarkable! #16 is incredible in that way as well. The lighting in that icon is truly gorgeous, and the crop is just flawless.

The PLL set is also incredible. The lighting in #23 is so exceptional, and I LOVE the text placement, it's so interesting and wonderfully spaced. The intense colours of #28 are so stunning, the orange and red tones are beautifully highlighted and the texture work is fantastic! #30 is magical. The crop is amazingly done, and the shadows and lighting are absolutely amazing. Once again, the text work is perfect - gorgeous placement and absolutely wonderful spacing. I really love the wide crop of #37, and the muted, natural tones are absolutely wonderful. And the lighting and contrast in #41 is truly wonderful as well.

I also really, really love #43, the shadows and contrast and colours in the icon are amazing, and #47 has the most incredible crop, and the muted, vintage colouring is divine. Annnnnd finally, DEXTER <3 Gotta love some old school animation, it takes me right back to being a kid, haha. Gorgeous colouring in all those icons, I love your vibrant colours!

Firstly, I AM SO SORRY for the late reply!

Secondly, your comments make me feel like I am some sort of iconning rockstar. I can't thank you enough for that!! :DD :')

I mean, I do not know how else to respond but please do know that your comments are the mother-flipping bestest EVER and a pleasure to read.

Thank you for taking the time to detail your favourites. If I could glomp all over you, I'd do it in a heartbeat. :DD

Stock has a really cool composition and great text! Digging the muted pale blue in Pastel. It really conveys the depth of sadness in her expression. The final obscure crop has such perfect lighting, and the first one has hilarious, perfectly-placed text! My fave is AC4, which is so dark and emotional. I love how Ron's almost in shadow whereas Hermione has this golden lighting and contrast in her face. Flawless! <3

[applepips]

AW MAN, YOU PYSCHIC PERSON YOU. :D

You totally picked my favourites from the set man. :D

Thank you so very much for your lovely comment! :D <3

[neonspider]

Ok so I'm really sorry for the super late comment, but an exam week happened at the wrong time so yeah. This set would have deserved immediate attention though cause just wow, everything is so freaking gorgeous here!! I adore both your 20insp and insp20in20 sets (and can't believe what I read about it being done in one and a half day, I mean WHAT???? How do you icon so fast and yet in suh good quality?? What is this witchcraft?)

Anyway, some favorites:

Stock - flawless, incredible composition. The white text fits it perfectly and wow, I love all the shapes here.
DTRH - COMPOSITION MAGIC and damn the vibrant, deep pink and the paintingy texture use are flawless, as is the text.
Border - so very pretty and gorgeous in every way, I love the decorative borders and the soft pastelly coloring and just everything!
Retro - omg wow this is perfection, such fun texture use and composition, looove the thought bubble (this is something you're really ace at, using thought/speech balloons! So creative and fun!)
The whole category set - wgfsdefgfhfhb these muted tones + superb lighting + the crops = perfection. The first and fourth ones are particularly amazing but really they're all awesome.
ac1 - another example of your stunning muted colors
ac2 - LOVE the crazy bold coloring! ♥ How are you so awesome at both vibrant and muted icons?? I think it's how far you take both styles, it always ends up looking really striking and awesome because of that.

27 - WOW at the composition and texture use, and I love what you did with the text, how it sort of circles her.
28 - GORGEOUS flawless lighting and coloring and the scribbly text use is such a stunning detail here!
30 - cropping and text magic
36 - another thing that you always rock is this texture. It looks amazing in this icon too and the whole icon just looks incredible.
37 - love the wide crop, the pale colors and the lighting *__*
39 - the muted purples are just so pretty <3
46/47 - gorgeous crop and the sharpness is spot on. I love that you gave both muted and vibrant versions, i can't decide which I prefer cause they're both fantastic!

Annnd I also adore everything made for pixelheroes, especially the bold colors and all the negative space :>

[applepips]

I think I should feel sorrier and terribler for my even later response! I AM SO SORRY! ;_;

Also, dont talk to me of witchcraft, you icon-sorcerer who comes up with compostions and colours that make me want to cry!!

I swear to God, I do not to how to respond to this lovely comment! I would sob all over you in gratitude but then that would drive you away and we dont want that. :DD

BUT,

Thank you ever so much for taking the time to type out this lovely comment and detail your favourites!!1 I APPRECIATE IT SO VERY MUCH. <3 :')

[aeris-eledhwen.livejournal.com]

Wonderful, you make great things with both vibrant and muted colors! I love the Hermione ones and I'm snagging #5, #13 & #16 and will credit ♥

[applepips]

AWW MAN. <3

Thank you so very much! I am glad you like and even gladder that you are snagging away!! :DDD
