ahh I honestly cannot decide which square I like more - the top one (why is it on the bottom though??) has some amazing compositions and TYPOGRAPHY (especially in 10!! I'm so weak for creative text cause I can't do it at all), but the bottom (top??) one has crazy fantastic crops and colorings. Not to mention the alts, which have enough great stuff for like 4 more sets? This whole post is just ugh. so good.

AWW YISSSSS I'm so glad you got scared by that icon!
Look at that huge mouth! Look at it!
CREEPY RIGHT?!!!

... why yes, I'm fine, this challenge didn't drive me mad at all :>
No but really, I kept making icons and at some point I was like whoa, I could make ALT SQUARESSSS and I tried to do that but then I couldn't make up my mind about the axes and some spots were empty anyway so I was about to make EVEN MORE icons to fill those empty spots, meanwhile my MAIN SQUARES were still missing half the icons... and I managed to stop myself but barely xD
Also, did you notice I kind of arranged the alts in a sort of rainbow? Are you proud of me, even though it's not as beautiful and rainbowy as your rainbows? <3

The bottom square comes before the top square because the simple icons go before the complex icons. DON'T QUESTION ME.

it just gave me the strongest 👁👄👁 vibe. WHAT AN EVIL THING.

lmao I know what you mean!! This challenge is just TOO inspiring, I always want to go wild when there's a challenge that requires PLANNING and SPREADSHEETS and it actually wants you to make everything connected. I am weak against this shit.
and of course I noticed the rainbow u__u

Oh wow, what an amazing set and what an impressive number of alts o.O
The text use on the top square is fantastic. You used great fonts. There are so many gorgeous complex icons here, but for some reason I just really love 71. The grungy look, colors, and light are stunning.

OMG thank you!
I'm surprised you picked 71 because I feel it's like an underdog in this set? I did spend quite some time on its lighting and contrast, but I didn't think it would stand out among all the close ups and text and shiny things. So yeah, really glad you like it! ♥

Dude what, how many goddamn axes do you have crammed into this!!??? xD IDEK WHAT TO SAY OTHER THAN WOW, this is real effort! I especially dig they way you used crop closeness on two axes to extend the possibilities for different crops. Somehow you were able to pull off this herculean effort to use this many axes, it checks out no matter which way I look at it, so massive props for that! :O ( ... )

The answer is of course ALL THE AXES! ALL OF THEM! xD
Actually, crop closeness was supposed to be only on the x axis, but it happened a couple of times on the y axis early on, so I decided to go with it!
Also. If you compare the icons in the bottom square with the icons in the top square, you'll notice that crop closeness happened even on the z axis - the simple icon almost always has a closer crop than the complex icon in the same spot, the exceptions being 6-15 and 9-18, where it's hard to tell which one is closer. But since I didn't do this on purpose, I decided to omit crop closeness on the z axis.

As usual, I'm thrilled that you like my text and compositions, because you know I think you're the best at complex icons ♥ ♥ ♥
And yes! The pattern in 14 is people xD Grim reapers follow Death wherever he goes and they're all dressed in black and I wanted to make something like this painting of Magritte combined with this one. I tried to use the screencaps, like this one, but it didn't work, so I used the original painting in the end ( ... )

Wow those art inspirations are super cool :O I should try looking at art for inspiration if it helps come up with such awesome icon concepts. And I love that extra crop closeness dimension!

This is pure Supernatural porn, and I LOVE IT! The close crops are just wonderful, and I love the vibrant compositions! I honestly can't even pick my faves, because all of these are so unique and brilliant :) The all go in to my Supernatural praise folder :)

So many icons! I love it! I also love that you made 2 squares, they look so good.
I love the effect on 1, and the colors and crop of 2 are amazing, so unique! The texture/border on 4 fits perfectly and the crop on 5 looks great! The bottom row is also really interesting, especially the last 2 ones have really interesting lighting!
The top square is also gorgeous, I love the top row: the creativity of 10 is just great. And the colors + text on 12 is gorgeous! I also love 14, the texture/blend/text work is just perfect! And the text on 16 and 17 are great as well, especially 16 has really original placing!

Then ALL the alts! It's amazing that you made 60!! extra icons. Some faves are 22, 24, 42, 52, 58, 61, 65, 65 70 and 75!
