I know I haven't been posting much lately. We've had relatives over, and I've been up to my ears in grading.

But I just got a new Galaxy Book2 360 Pro plus I splurged and bought the new Affinity suite so that I could have it on my laptop and my Mac mini. I wanted to try making some graphics (the S pen is fantastic), so here's a small batch for monthlyinspo.

I'm hoping to get a few more sets in for some other challenges as well!

A small batch of icons for somein30. Extra hard mode, of course, lol! ^^

Except I failed to realize that the deadline passed. orz

Oh, well!

I decided to do some icons from W since I've already watched the drama (and happened to have them on my computer). ^^

				Favorite Interaction | Arc Relevance | Most Known For | Favorite Quote

For this round @ somein30 , I knew I wanted to icon the KDrama I have been watching (I'm not quite done yet, though!) called Tomorrow. The visuals are amazing! I love Kim Hee-sun's pink hair (I think her character's hair is pink in the webtoon it's based off of)!

But the stories are really good. I cried so much, especially the episode on the Korean War soldier. If it weren't for people like him (and my grandfather and my great-uncle and many others), I probably wouldn't be here today.

I was going to do a bright set and a dark set, but it didn't work out. So here's the bright set! ^^ I did hard mode this time as well! ^^

Here is another smallish set for 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.)

Here is a smallish set for somein30. I opted to do ultra hard mode, but I'm planning to do one or two more sets for the other modes.

Text is not usually my favorite thing to do, so ultra hard mode was actually pretty difficult. I had thrown around the idea of doing a Kdrama OST song or maybe a Kpop song, but I didn't think I could make the hangul look good! ^^ I opted to do an English song instead! ^^

Emma (2009) x5

*Lyrics from "High of 75" by Relient K



Or if I'm just missin' the sun (Icon #1)

And tomorrow, I know (Icon #2)
Will be rainy at best (Icon #3)
And the forecast, I know
Is that I'll be depressed (Icon #4)
But I'll wait outside
Hopin' that I'll catch sight of the sun (Icon #5)

This month's inspiration from monthlyinspo was so inspiring! I remember doing the chocolate's theme (two years ago, I think) and really enjoying the process. This time was no different. I went for more of the colors than anything.
