Photoshop and I have always had a love/hate relationship. I love it when it obeys me, I hate it when it goes against my wishes. But even when I hate it, I love it. Sometimes I think I have bad days in Photoshop and then it pleasantly surprises me.
In general, I can say that this batch is the result of when Photoshop surprises me. What started as a (literal) barfing up of Selective Color layers, light blobs, Gradients, and tears has come together to form a
somewhat interesting batch of icons. Well, I hope they're interesting to anyone but me.
First up is my ten icons for my first attempt of Chapter 2 of
theiconquest. I chose the
Hard prompt, just because it's easier for me to choose makers who influence my style. There are literally 25+ makers who influence my icon-making style but I chose the three that came to my mind first. That doesn't mean that other makers aren't as important, or more important than the ones that I chose for this attempt, but the three that I chose are currently some of my predominant inspiration. Spoiler alert, I chose
calikalie,
endearest, and
mm3butterfly. All of the icons I made are influenced from their coloring styles, so the ten icons for this attempt at Chapter 2 are all going to be classified as hero.
Also there are my six Sherlock icons for the
icon_talk anonymous battle, and some other icons that I've made through rumbles or just on whim. There's some anime here also. :O
Enjoy the icons! :3
