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

These are gorgeous... possibly your best icons yet! <3

[library_of_sex]

EEEEEEP!!!!!! Thank you so much, Ele! I really like how off the wall this batch is, so your comment is a source of boundless joy right about now! <333333

These are all fantastic. I love seeing Megan Fox icons, she is seriously underrated on here.
Your coloring is so pretty and the text is amazing. I wish I could do text as wonderfully as you do! The entire batch is really unique and absolutely gorgeous. Fantastic job! <3

FINALLY, ANOTHER MEMBER OF THE MFOX APPRECIATION SOCIETY! THERE'S SOMETHING ABOUT HER I ABSOLUTELY LOVE DESPITE (OR MAYBE PARTLY CUZ OF) ALL THE HATERATION SHE GETS.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for that generous comment, my dear. Text is so agonizing for me to do, but I really pushed for it in this batch and feel there are actually more successes than failured for once! And seriously, there is nothing more gratifying than hearing that my work looks unique, especially cuz I'm often nervous that it looks stale and repetitive. THANK YOU FOR YOUR BEAUTIFUL REASSURANCE! <33333333

Also, how do I not know your name yet? I feel like I see you at different comms, and I could swear I had a nickname or something in my LJ notes! Would you mind if I ask what I may call you from now on?

[dash_of_nutmeg]

Yes! She gets so much hate and I don't understand why! Maybe because she's so pretty people think that's all she has, but she's a lot more than just a pretty face.

Your work never looks stale or repetitive! I like your work so much because you do try to make each icon different. There are so many comms that have batches that all look the same, same coloring, same crops, same everything. And sometimes that's okay if the coloring is perfect~ but it's nice to see it changed up.

No problem. You can just call me Meg. :)
I think we visit a lot of the same comms. And we have a lot of the same interests. For instance, I looooove JGL. Your icon makes me so happy!

I think people are still stuck on who she was when she first got famous 4 years ago and used to say all sorts of crazy stuff just to get attention. I like that she's admitted she used to do that and now wants to be more true to her self. Plus, she has a wry sense of humor, which I enjoy. Don't actually watch any of her movies, but I like her as a person. She just seems cool!

Awwwwwww, my heart trembles with joy! All that hard work definitely pays off if someone can see the effort I place into trying new things and being creative with compositions! <33333333

Well, it's nice to finally call you by a name, Meg. I'm Kim, and if there's one celeb I enjoy as much as Megan, it's JGL! :)

[library_of_sex]

Thank you so much for listing what you liked most, Lisa! Your fave entries seem to coincide with my own, which is doubly awesome! Also, #44 took me FOREVER to make (cuz I'm an idiot), so I'm kinda doing a little happy dance since you acknowledged it! <333333333

[julie_izumi]

Wow! Full of lovelies! And I'm impressed you managed to pull off this texture in "ships in the night" as I tried and it was an epic fail! :)

[library_of_sex]

Many thanks, Julie! Once I saw that particular texture, I just felt determined to make it work. Surprisingly, it eventually happened! I'd love to see how you tried to use it, too. Would you happen to have any finished result? I bet it's probably way better than you think!

[julie_izumi]

You're welcome! Yes, it's such a pretty texture, but I could get a decent icon out of it! Here is my attempt:

[library_of_sex]

I actually think it's interesting in your case cuz it really makes your search out what's going on. I like that sorta icon!

[gallicka]

I LOVE YOUR USE OF TEXTURE! *g* My fav. are: Breath me & All The Right Moves. Love your colorings too. <3

[library_of_sex]

THANK YOU, SALLY! TEXTURES ARE MY LIFE!!!!!!!!!! Ooh, you picked two of my big faves, so that's super exciting and gratifying. And thank you so much for acknowledging my coloring! <3333333333
