20inspirations
20inspirationsOkay, so the theme for 20inspirations this time was Adventures in Wonderland with the idea behind the theme being that you need to make icons which are unusual and unexpected, at least for you that is.
As per usual, I picked Community as my claim and then sat on my hands wondering what to do.
For you see, when I icon, all I do is crop and colour, with the occasional bout of text because that is how I enjoy iconning. I will also admit, I dont pay that much attention to composition because it is not my jam. So for this time's theme, I decided that I would go heavy on the composition and texture use because I never ever do that. I mean, I do use textures but not in the way that I have here and I stay the hell away from attempting composition.
At first, I did think I was making hot messes but later on I gave up worrying and made the hot messes. It was fun to do so. And yes, there is plenty of text here but idk man, I just wanted to put text on ALL the icons this time. Also yes, I did want to make most of my icons blue this time. The reasoning eludes me however.
In conclusion, I had plenty of fun doing this, even tho my steam fizzled out towards the end (which is so evident in the last row of icons) and I hope you will like looking at them.
Also, I will list out the inspirations for the icons tomorrow bc I am lazy. :D

I am really loving the whole idea of #2, and #5 is just stunning; I love the softness of it. And then you hit me with row 6-10 where each and every icon was flawless. I mean, geez, they just got better and better as I went along that row. And I was already pretty impressed with 'ordinary people' (which is a perfect use of text over the face, btw, and and really awesome use of grungy textures and also green and pretty much everything I just really love this icon okay) so the rest of the row being even better? Hot damn.
#7 is really cool because there's so much vibrant color in everything else (and in most of your usual stuff) so this lack of color is really interesting and unique here, and there's an indistinct quality about it as well that really works. #8 works together really well; the crop, the texture use, the in your face color, and the in your face (hah!) text all create this perfect atmosphere of panic and urgency that matches what the text says as well. And you have somehow managed to make #9 look like it should be something out of Hannibal? And I'm not really sure how you did that, but it is incredibly cool. I love it! And #10 almost makes me ship Jeff/Annie again because it is just flawless. I love everything about it!!
AND IS #12 ABED OVER HOT LAVA?!! PLEASE TELL ME IT IS. THAT IS SO GREAT AND CREATIVE AND FUN AND PERFECT. AHHH! #15 is also gorgeous, and I love the simple poetic style of it.
Great job! <3

Seriously though, this was such a fantastic comment to read and it put such a smile on my face. :')
I am kind of glad you like 7. I am all for colours but I thought pushing myself this time should also involve dialling down on the colours.
I so wish I could take the credit for #12 but the cap already had Abed over hot lava. I just provided the jazzing up and text.
Thank you once again for this BEAUTIFUL comment! <3

#1 is a definitely favourite, the red with the black and white with the cap choice reminds me of a horror movie, I love the drama of it! #2 has amaaazing colours, the pink is so nice! The text in #6, my gosh! The whole icon is just BEAUTIFUL! I love the muted simplicity of #7, it's lovely as well! I REALLY REALLY LOVE #9, the colouring is SO AMAZING! I'm definitely saving that one! And the text and crop of #15, wow! <3 And #18 is so creative and different and I love the colours!

Aw man, I am so glad you like nine! I honestly did not know what I was doing with that icons. At one point, I was all "i'mma throw textures at this and hope to god it works".
Thank you for the lovely comment! :D

Looove the text in 2, it's brilliant plus I love the pinks and the little bit of blocking. The texture use/lighting in 3 is insanely gorgeous and I love the icy blues. The light airy bright look in 5 is fantastic and goes with the cap so well!
Omg, 6 though, the text is again so excellent hooooow are you so good at text all the time *__* it's so well placed, tbh I'm not even usually into text that obscures facial features but this one works so well cause it only covers some but not all of the features, and the original thing is that it covers his mouth instead of the eyes which I see a lot more often. So, awesome creativity there, plus I love the green grunge and the strong contrast a lot!
8 is so very beautiful too, really digging the extra textured look and the purple/cyan coloring, very eye-catching. Annnd ofc I'm a fan of the text too, seriously fantastic text arrangement and font combination!
Love the texture use and monochromes in 9&10 and OMG WHAT IS 14. IT'S UNFAIRLY GORGEOUS. I love the weird duplication effect in it so much and the way the text angle and the texture use give it this sense of movement. Also, bright cyans ftw always. Speaking of which, I adore the colors and text in 17 so much. Again really great use of text that overlaps the character but not too much!
These are just a few favorites, I really love what you did with the entire set! Fantastic work :>
