Hi! I know, it's been almost a month since I last posted something, but february is killing me -.- I've done / 'll do a lot of tests, it's like my teachers wake all up exactly the same day and decide to start testing me all together XD add to that taking part to a history debate with my class and preparing a musical in english, and you'll know what

thank you <3

These are gorgeous! Your blending and texture use is seriously stunning.

[swanwingful]

wow thank you so much! I'm always not satisfied at all of my blending, so it's big compliment for me XD

Dude, you blend SO WELL! I told you there was something you could do that I can't! 3 is so awesome cuz of the crops and all the muted yellow goodness at the top. It looks like he's almost fading away and that gives the piece a bit of an ethereal feel. 17 has wonderful contrast, and I love the texturing in 20 that gives a roughness to his jacket! It's excellent to see all the different coloring schemes you managed to pll off in 42-45. I love seeing the progression of a single cap like that! 49 is absolutely fabulous with the grunginess and use of silhouettes. That's the true standout in this post for me!

OMG, how can someone as good as you say something like that about me? you made my day *______*
Like I said to someone else, I HATE my blending and I never completely like it, so it's quite strange to hear you say it's good XD in 3 I wanted to give this ethereal feel to contrast the violence of the image and ideas behind the character. as for 42 - 45, as you can see in most of my posts, I can never decide which icons I prefer, so I make TONS of alternates with different colors and crops XD sometimes I think I should just try to decide what I like and reduce the amount of icons I make, for every 20in20 I end up doing like at least 3 times the number of icons requested o.o I honestly don't know how 49 came to my mind, I'm surprised of myself XD Anyway thank you again, I'm so flattered <3

Your explanation of 3 is exactly the feeling I got from it. Because of the coloring, there is a softness underlying the violent images, and that is something really subtle and beautiful. I MAKE TONS OF ALTERNATES, TOO! WE SHOULD START A CLUB, DUDE! My 20in20 posts always reach about 60-70 icons cuz of all my alts. Curse our indecision! ;P

BTW, would you mind if I ask for your name or nickname? If that makes you uneasy, I understand so please don't worry about it then. In any case, my name is Kim, so feel free to chat me up whenever you see me around! ;)

[swanwingful]

yes we should totally start a club XD I remember that in september I made 120 icons just for one 20in20... I thought I was the only one with this problem!
btw, no problem at all! I'm Tom, nice to meet you Kim (: we've never really talked before but I "knew" already you since I check your icons a lot times *^*
