Sorry for being AWOL for a few months. I wasn't feeling really inspired, and ever since the end of January, things have been crazy in RL particularly at my job, so I haven't really been doing much of anything lately.

But I did periodically check DW, and I was feeling inspired after stumbling on this month's theme for [community profile] retro_icontest. I didn't do a full 20 icons because I'm still feeling a little rusty, and I'm not too happy with the way some of them turned out. But some icons turned out better than expected, and I did do some experimentation....

aurora_amethyst: Profile of Emma Woodhouse (period drama)
[personal profile] aurora_amethyst
I was initially planning a larger set for this round, but I've been doing mentoring at work so I've been more exhausted than usual. But I had so much fun coming up with this set for [community profile] retro_icontest!

Emma (2009)


1: Walls of Text: Accurate yet an understatement when it comes to Miss Bates who is extremely chatty.
2: Person as a Verb: A quote from the book. Emma is complaining to herself on how Mrs. Elton is going on and on about Jane Fairfax and hopes that Mrs. Elton doesn't do the same with her (Emma).
3: Wrong Genre Savvy: Emma recommends The Romance of the Forest (a Gothic novel) to Harriet Smith. (Not sure I agree with what tvtropes.org says about the topic).
4: Preppy Name: Mrs. Elton's given name, Augusta, is an ostentatious name given her position before and after she married. Also, the name Augusta comes from George III's daughter Charlotte Augusta.
5: Shipper on Deck: Pretty self explanatory. Emma considers herself a matchmaker of sorts.

I was initially going to make 20 icons, but this month has been kind of crazy. So here are my 6 icons for [community profile] monthlyinspo. I also included a brief summary of how the icon is connected to the school subject.

Geography | Art | Foreign Language
Literature | Music | Science

1: Geography: The background is a map of the South Pole.
2: Art: At first I was going to categorize the icon under drama (dramatic pose), but then I changed my mind because it reminded me of when a model poses for artists to draw. I think it's an art school thing, and it fit a little better I think.
3: Foreign Language: IU did a collab with Jay Park, and the song title ("Ga Na Da Ra") kind of fit the foreign language category because it's the way that kids go over the phonemes (vowel plus consonant) kind of like we go over the alphabet in English.
4: Literature: I used the first sentence from Emma by Jane Austen as the background text while I used a cutout of Emma from BBC's Emma (2009).
5: Music: Group shot of the Kpop group X1.
6: Science: This was really more for physics, but the equation L = Iω has to do with the physics of a figure skating spin.

Here is a smallish set for [community profile] retro_icontest! I was feeling inspired by the angles, and Yu-na's latest Dior photoshoot actually used a lot of high and low angles!

Here are my entries for [community profile] fandom10in30. Some of the icons are inspired by one of the fashion lines while some are based on two. I was going to actually post a longer explanation, but ever since I started my new, full-time job, I'm just exhausted. *whew* I was just getting used to getting up early as well as working based a schedule for a different time zone, and then Daylight Savings just had to come smackdab in the middle of everything. orz

Well, anyways, I hope you enjoy this set of IU icons. ^^

Here is another smallish set for [community profile] somein30. This one is normal mode. I wanted to do hard mode with the shuffled playlist, but I was having a hard time choosing a playlist, lol! ^^

Kim Yu-na | The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe |
IU | Hyung-won |   The Lord of the Rings

#1: Let It Go from the Frozen OST (For this icon, I wanted to have an icy feel, so I kept the color palette in the cooler pastel range with blues and lighter purples. I also added the triangle texture  to give it a sharper icy feel. The text isn't specific lines from the song, mostly just references to various words from the lyrics such as "kingdom," "queen," and "ice.")
#2: I Will Believe by Nichole Nordeman from the Music Inspired by the Chronicles of Narnia (For this icon, I wanted to portray the reference to dreams as well as the gentle, tenderhearted-ness of Queen Susan, so I used light pastels for the color palette.)
#3: Blueming by IU (For this icon, the lyrics "우리의 색은 gray and blue," which means "our colors gray and blue" and "I feel bloom" are portrayed in the colors. The background, IU's dress, and IU's hair show the blues and grays, while her skin tone is a pink-tone reminiscent of blossoms.)
#4: Shoot Out by Monsta X (For this icon, I used the lyrics "dangerously swaying" while using a pastel coloring that is opposite of the lyrics, lol!)
#5: May It Be by Enya from The Fellowship of the Ring OST (For this icon, I wanted to show the hope of spring and better days, so I used the lyrics "rise to find the sun" and used yellows and bluish greens to give the icons a slightly hopeful, sunny feel.)
