Hello everyone! I'm here to tell you I'm not dead XD I know it has been a long time, but I'm studying all the time since I have tests almost everyday (it's the last month of school after all XD) and I haven't made any icon, I even had to drop off some contest I planned to take part to! I hate doing it because I know that it must be irritating for

There is an overall sadness to this whole batch that really strikes me hard. Every piece gets so much emotion across, and I think that's due in part to how dark the icons are. The low contrast brings in so much shadow and darkness, and that makes a huge emotional impact, IMO. My faves are 8, 10, and 20! Great work, Tom! <3

hey bb :3 thank you so much! I'm really flattered since you totally got the point of my batch. I wanted to give an overall nostalgic / sad sense to the batch, because misfits to me is a really touching/emotional show.. I don't know why, but it really makes me sad and I wanted to convey this emotion through every icon. Maybe this feeling is also due to the fact that my top 3 characters of the show aren't coming back next season T____T obviously black and white helps delivering this kind of message. I really love the ones you picked too, but it was really beautiful to work on the whole batch! thank you so much as always <3

There is no doubt at all about the feelings you wanted to convey most of all here, and you did a wonderful job of fulfilling your goal! I still haven't seen S3 but I've heard Kelly won't be back. I'm gonna be sad to find out who else isn't returning, but I can take a guess that it's probably Simon and Alisha, which would explain why I heard so many people complaining when the S3 finale aired. That SUCKS! :(

Anyway, I'm always glad feedback to someone so deserving and appreciative of other people's thoughts. Looking forward to whatever you make next, Tom!

Oh Kim I'm sorry if I spoiled anything to you! I thought that it was known all over the fandom that the only one original misfit left is Curtis.. I'm sure you'll enjoy watching S3 anyway, it's really emotional and I loved it, even if the finale was bit of a shock.. I just advise you to watch it, it's really good, I hope S4 and new characters will be as good! Thank you so much as always, I really appreciate every comment you make :D

These are darkly beautiful. Great job!

[swanwingful]

thank you so much :)

They are stunning, and so emotional! I love the caps you used and their expressions in them. Melancholic, in a good way. :)

[swanwingful]

That was exactly what I wanted to do with this set, thank you <3

Beautiful! The texture use throughout is amazing.

[swanwingful]

Thank you! Since I couldn't use color, I focused mainly on texture use :D

Dude, these icons are brilliant!
I love how dark they all are and all the emotions in them and stories they tell!
Some of them will definitely find a place in their new home in Inspirationfolder street!
Especially these caught my eye: 2, 7, 11, 14 and 16!

[swanwingful]

Thank you so much *w* I'm flattered that you find my icons inspiring!
btw, I really wanted to tell stories through these icons, and I'm really happy you all got my idea u.u
the ones you like the most have been the most innovative to me, since I'm not used to do icons like those, especially talking about the compositions (:

[12feethigh]

Yes, they really are inspiring! I haven't made Misfits icons in a while and now I want to make them again!
The caps of s3 are very good to make icons of (i just don't get any inspiration from caps of s1 and 2. Idek why :< )

Btw, I hope you don't mind I added you as friend? I'd really like to get notifications when you post new icons ♥

[swanwingful]

You are so sweet :3 of course I don't mind, I'll add you back (:
