Lol! ^^ I really enjoyed that drama and thought I'd do something different! ^^

I'm glad you liked them! I was trying some different techniques, so I wasn't sure if they turned out well! ^^

Ooh I think you're the only one to go hard mode, and you even mixed multiple inspirations in many icons, that's impressive! Love the overall look of this set, so much pink and purple :)

The contrast, coloring and sharpness in 3 are on point, I love the crisp matte look. The extreme negative space in 4 is lovely, and so is the subtly textured background.
The blocking on 8 is gorgeous, great use of the texture, and I love the text and texture use on 10.
The starry, textured look on 11 is absolutely stunning, and I also love the super pretty pastel coloring, composition and animation in 12!

Gorgeus set, thanks for entering <3

Thank you!!! ❤❤❤ I really enjoyed challenging myself! ^^

I'm glad you enjoyed them! ❤❤❤

I almost put #3 as an alternate, but I decided I liked it too much! #10, I knew that I had to use the texture because it fit the scene! She kept talking and talking even though no one could hear her, lol!

These are gorgeous:) I adore the negative space and colouring in the 1st and 4th icons and the cropping in the 3rd icon. I also absolutely love the composition and animation in the 12 icon as well.

[aurora_amethyst]

I'm so glad you liked them! ❤❤❤ I really had fun with this set! ^^

As soon as I saw the flower texture, I knew I wanted to add some animated petals! ^^

I really like the dark composition in 7, the two worlds collide compositon, and the crop in 3. Excellent animation in 12, and I love the starry and grungy look of 11.

Great set!

[aurora_amethyst]

D'awww! Thank you! ❤❤❤

#7 was an interesting process. I think it's one of my first attempts in doing a complex colored (as opposed to b&w) monochrome effect(?) on a icon. I've always liked the style, though!

I'm glad you liked the composition on the two worlds collide icon. The opening credits of the series really showed the difference between their two worlds, and I wanted to give the same feel in the icon. I ended up adding it to the alts because it wasn't turning out as well as I hoped. T-T I wish I could have gotten it to mesh a little better. XD
