[22] Whitechapel icons

Jul 31, 2012 00:09

Yay, another installment of the second chapter at IQ! I'm really liking this quest for the learning and challenge it gives. ♥ Like with my first set, I pinpointed elements/techniques/etc in a maker's style that I thought was interesting and striking, and tried to incorporate it a bit into what I've done.

Thank you so much to applepips16, elli, and emmahyphenjane for their ( Read more... )

Oh wow these are great! I loved Whitechapel :-) Saving #12, #13 and #17.

Yay! I'm glad you like them. #12 was actually a reject--I originally made it for applepips16's batch (hence it's included in hers) but I thought it was entirely too near to one of her icons (

Thank you! I just adore how she does her negative space icons. It's both crisp and misty and...auughhhh so pretty ♥

Unfortunately I cannot watch it at night XD as I am very jittery haha. So I still haven't started on the third ep lol.

Thank you :D

19 wouldn't have been possible without emmahyphenjane's tutorials haha, since without the noise reduction step the cap would have been grainy D:

Yay, Whitechapel icons! These are lovely. My faves are #9, #12, #15 and #19.

Thank you! Rupert Penry-Jones is so worth watching. Ahem.

Well damn. :') I suppose I should tell you that you've made me feel ridiculously happy. :)

I love 2, 9 and 12. I especially love how in the 9, the green of the text matches the background and also how the text itself complements the subject's mood.

14, 15 and 17 are SO PRETTY. I love the blue background in 14 and I love the unusual view in 17.

Also, cropping in 21 and 22, PRETTY AWESOME.

Lovely batch! :)

Thank you! :D Your anon icon battle set was absolutely lovely to me, and totally made me want to make a chapter 2 post on your style :D 12 I didn't include in the official IQ batch though as I felt it was too close to two of your icons there especially since it is quite stylized, but I really~ loved those.

I lifted the green shadow right from the green of the 09 icon, actually :D your icons are amazing, they are both grungy AND colorful at the same time, I have no idea how you do it. I almost didn't post these cause I feel they're not quite there!

17 was fun! I just knew I had to make a neg space icon from that particular scene. He is so obsessive compulsive it's cute XD

Thanks for the cropping comments too! I am still trying to develop my eye towards what's a good crop etc so your feedback is greatly appreciated ♥
