Beta Lyrae

The rest of my iconcolors amnesty palette icons, plus this month's two challenges! And a grab bag of fandoms.

( 19x Transformers IDW, 7x Scarlet Witch, 5x Angel's Egg, 5x Transformers: Prime, various )

This month I read three gradient map tutorials, and then spent the rest of the month playing with the concept and a bunch of different palettes for gradients. Also with layer masks and some layer attributes, none of which I'd really known about before. Luckily for me there were a lot of palette-based (or adjacent) challenges running this month!

(Not everything in a given challenge's row is actually a submission—some had number limits, sometimes not everything I made actually qualified for the challenge.)

( 60 icons total )

( fandoms, palettes, administrativa )

I got carried away with retro_icontest's latest round, a color challenge with the dramatically named Uh Oh Flamingo! and Bird of Paradise.

( 65 icons, mostly Eliza and Valentina )

The first half or so were made for icontalking's Selective Color challenge (not all turned out well enough/on-theme enough I felt like posting them there). The rest I made at the same time, from crops that didn't cooperate with the coloring experiments I was doing.

( 38x KSBD, 2x TFP )

20 icons, film screencaps. First ten for fandom10in30's book & comic adaptations round.

(It is so nice to icon for a fandom that has such a complete screencap repository online.)

The first 20 icons are my submissions to itsabattlefield Summer Energy; the rest are a mix of challenge alts/rejects and other icons I did of the same fandoms while I was working on the challenge.

( 25x Transformers Prime, 13x The Narts, 11x Transformers: Combiner Hunters (IDW1), 9x Twelve Kingdoms, 3x Yuri's Palace, 2x Galaxy Princess Zorana, 2x Wind Child )

20 total icons, most made for recent iconcolors palettes.

( 12 X-Men, 8 Galaxy Princess Zorana )

A mix of cover illustrations and Tolkien's watercolors.

( 20 icons )

Submissions & alts for fandom10in30's Round 65: Text

( 15 icons, various fandoms )

I thought I posted this unreasonably large icon batch a few years ago, around when I posted Dani Moonstar post of DOOM. Recently I realized this was not the case. Have the rest of the New Mutants post of doom that has been haunting my journal since 2018.

(Icon not meant as an insult towards this post, it's just my favorite icon I used from this batch. Not that I use it much, because it's kinda rude...)

( DOOM, AGAIN )
