[81+12] The Shannara Chronicles, various Jane Austen, etc

[angelamaria]

Okay. Okay, you guys. This is kind of a massive post. I'm a little floored at the number of icons, especially since I spent most of March in a veritable icon funk, causing me to not finish a bunch of challenges I wanted to participate in. But there is that aforementioned Jane Austen battle and I got a little cap-happy with The Shannara chronicles

Ohh, so many pretties! And Shannara!
I especially love what you did for the 10in30 challenge, really great compositions!
#26, 31 and 33 have such an artsy vibe, I love them!
The Austen ones are amazing too! I especially love #57, 64, 66, 73, 75 and 80!

(Wow, that Wil icon is so damn pretty! I have such a hard time iconning Wil for some reason, arrgh. Trundling off to look for it haha)

The moment I saw that scene in 26, I knew I just had to icon it XD It doesn't look nearly as badass in the show haha but I'm glad you like it :3 It was so hard not to do everything like those three icons you mention actually, I was like, "I've used this style way too many damn times, I need to stop" but ugh, it's a phase. LOL

THANK YOU :D

These are so beautiful! I love the close crop on #3 and #8, also the coloring on this one is beautiful. The use of light on this set is truly amazing, especially #5, #7, #12 and #25. I also really like the negative space and far crop on #30 and #33 (this one is one of my fave here).
I also really like the icons form the JA battle, with the original background - they look so pretty with the vibrant colors and dreammy look - like #70, #71 or #77! :)

Thank you :DDD It was a challenge to go simple but I rather enjoyed it in the end! And there are so many fabulous sets/scenery in Austen shows it's so fun to keep them in and just make everything so bright and vibrant :D

So many FANTASTIC icons!♥♥♥
Coloring in 5,6,78,18,19,25,27.64,75,77 is amazing and close crop in 3 is perfect, also like muted coloring in 30,31 and 33.
Great batch, goof job.

The extreme crop in 001 is so fucking awesome cuz it really gives a sense of great distance between the two subjects! I love that you can see only slivers of their faces. It's such an emotional crop! 003 also has an intense crop that's so intimate and really allows you to see the subject's vulnerability. It's rare to see someone's face from that superior angle, and I love the high contrast in that piece! 004 has that slight border at the top from a repetition of the image, and I can't properly express in words just how much I have always loved that effect. It's such a simple idea, but it adds so much detail to an icon. I also love how her face cuts off while you can see all of his in that piece. It's another beautiful detail that quietly stands out to me. The shadowing in 007! WHAT IS THAT? Can I have its number and take it out for dinner sometime? PLEEEEEEEEEASE??????? I promise to have it home at a decent hour! Screaming for the scenery porn and coloring in 018 and the blues in 019 and 020. Kill me

DUDE. COME BACK. WHO AM I GOING TO HAVE LONG RAMBLING CONVERSATIONS WITH IF YOU DON'T COME BACK

HARVEY IS JUDGING YOU, SEE. BETTER COME BACK OR HE'LL MAKE YOU COME BACK

LOL but seriously, thank you *___* And special thanks for mentioning 4! That one has a slightly special place in my heart lol since for some reason I quite like the very short story arc between these two characters and the reason for her being half obscured is because it's a kind of "what if" icon, lol.

I DON'T KNOW. YOU SHOULD HAVE THOUGHT OF THAT BEFORE YOU WENT AND FLAUNTED THAT ICON IN MY FACE. YOU CAN BLAME YOURSELF AND HARVEY!

YOU JUDGE AWAY, HARVEY. I'M SIDE-EYEING YOU, TOO, PAL! ;P

Oh god, my whole TV watching life is littered "what ifs" for characters I love and thought were better off with each other than whatever oh-so-obvious romantic fate the writers decided for them. 4 is fantastic, and like I said, that border on the top just drives me giddy with excitement cuz I love that detail and never get sick of it! I like knowing now that there's a backstory and a special meaning for you in that piece!
