075: and when we come back, we'll be dressed in black / and you'll scream our names aloud

For this month at 20inspirations, participants could choose any of the challenges from the previous 12 months, so I focused on Round 11, which involved 15 provided songs meant to inspire my work and 5 songs of my own choosing. I began it in October and ended up with only 2 completed icons, and since then, I've had this nagging feeling that I oughta finish what I

Such wonderful icons! Pursuit of Happiness, Unlike Me and Miss Halfway are my absolute favourites <3
The alternates are also very stunning, 21, 26, 28-29 and 62 are mindblowing! Wonderful job ;)

HIIIIII, CAMILLA! *waves*

So glad you like Pursuit of Happiness cuz it took some work to get the right close crop. I'm really proud of the understated look of that piece! Miss Halfway involved way too much moving around and deleting to get just the crops I wanted, so thank you for acknowledging it! And of course, thank you for letting me know which alternates you enjoyed and for always taking time to leave me a splendid comment at all! <333333333333

BTW, sorry that I haven't commented on your latest inspiration batch yet. There are so many entries this month, and it's taking me a long time to get through all of them, but I promise I'll do it today or tomorrow! :)

HEY KIM! BEEN SUCH A LONG TIME :)

Close crops are always very difficult, but a daring one like this maybe even more so, but you really pulled it off perfectly. The same goes for the composition of Miss Halfway :)

I just saw you commented already :) But it's fine anyway because I totally get it, I can't keep up with all the new entries as well (and all the challenged I signed up for are not making this easier :0)

[library_of_sex]

I KNOW! ALWAYS LOVELY TO SEE YOUR SHINY (AND ELEGANT) FACE AROUND! :)

Some people say they can do great close crops in a minute, but not me! It takes me about 10 or so to get a decent one sometimes, but it's usually worth it in the end.

Now that the deadline's been extended, I'll have 500 more entries to comment on. For anyone who did multiple batches, I'm only commenting on one cuz it's too time-consuming already. Good luck with all the challenges you've undertaken, hon! <3

These are all lovely (as always!) but my favorites are the Fringe icons. LOVE 60 and 61!

[library_of_sex]

I don't work with Fringe icons much, so I'm glad I managed to do those caps some justice, Luvey! Thanks heaps for the lovely comment! <3

I have no idea if anyone has said this yet or not, but Spectrum is my favorite song from Florence + The Machine's new CD.

[library_of_sex]

It's totally one of my faves, too, and I'm surprised it took over an hour for someone to guess since it seems like F+tM is all anyone's been listening to lately! Anyway, leave me a high quality image to iconize, and I'll try to get something done for you this coming weekend. :)

I am always blown away by how well you use colors! Amazing batch! :D

[library_of_sex]

Coloring has become so much more of a focal point for me this year. I'm unbelievably flattered that you enjoy that particular point of my work, babe. <3333333333

AAAAAAAAND...BOOM! MY LIFE IS COMPLETE CUZ MY KELSONATOR STOPPED BY!

[revengent]

Yay! But for real, it's always super awesome and vivid and so pretty! <33333

I NEED TO STOP BY MORE OFTEN. TRUE FACTS. *HURLEY HUG*

[library_of_sex]

I actually keep trying t oachieve quieter, subtler colors, but I just suck at it.

YES, PLEASE!!!!!!!!! ANYTIME I SEE YOU ANYWHERE ON LJ, MY HEART EXPLODES WITH HAPPINESS. BELIEVE THAT SHIT.

[queensjoy]
