18 Multifandom icons for somein30 round 4





Hover to see the fandom and style I used!

This round at [livejournal.com profile] somein30 was all about going down the memory lane.I picked a lot of my older fandoms that I used to enjoy iconing and also added in the styles that I used at that time or ones I tend to use for a specific show/movie etc. so I guess that's the super hard mode?!:D
Preview:



2010 2011 2012 2013 2013
2014 2014 2015 2015 2015
2016 2017 2017 2017 2018
2018 2019 2020





During 2010 to 2012 I didn't make icons but Naruto,Bleach and Pretty Little Liars were things I used to watch a looot of!I used to read fics and make fanarts of Naruto and Bleach.I went with the style in the inspo post for the 2012 icon.
2013:
This was when I started iconing after joining merlinstills.I fell in love with BBC Merlin and iconing was the way I was present in the fandom.That half/half style was one of my favourite things to do while iconing Morgana.
At this time I used to make graphics of and listen to TVXQ a lot and they're still my most favourite Kpop band! I didn't icon them at the time but levels were still my favourite technique.

2014:
I was very active in the Harry Potter fandom from 2012 and I joined a lot of fests in 2014.I didn't used to icon HP back then but I used to use the lines a lot,especially with vibrant colours.I also used a lot of white light spots.

2015:
I used to icon a lot of actresses and Cara Delevingne(still only a model then I think!) was a favourite  subject of mine. I used to icon her with a lot of fake BGs and that particualr texture a lot.With some bokeh.
Emma Roberts had become one of my latest favourite actress at the time and I used to do use white curvy lines in icons.
I watched Free! and I fell so hard for ReiGisa(Rei and Nagisa). Reading fics and looking at fanarts of this ship...*sigh*

2016:
Who knew I'd end up loving BBC Musketeers so much?!I didn't!The characters were all some of my favourites,the action and the  drama yesss!But most of all I loved Constance and D'Artagnan so very much!:D

2017:
I watched Miraculous Ladybug in French because I thought that was the original language and I was surprised by how much Adrian and Marinette's love square interests me!Yeah,I binge watched this!!Fake BG with BG text was used a lot in my icons too.

Katekyo Hitman Reborn...Very late to this but oh boy,how hard I fell for the characters, the story, the plot and one of my OTPs: GokuderaXYamamoto.Iconing KHR with vibrant colours was just the way to go.

What can I say about Yuri on Ice?Just that I went in with no expectations and ended up with my most favourite anime ever. I watched it thrice in 2017! Victuuri was and still is one of my top 5 OTPs.I listen to the OST even now at times! Lighting was definitely my favourite thing to do in 2017.


2018:
Again,laaate but so glad to have watched Reign at this time.The outfits and Queen Mary,aaah,she's beauty and grace and I just love this show so much!I watched the whole four seasons of it without skipping a single episode! Florals and warm colouring was a staple for iconing this show.

Fantastic beasts and where to find them:a movie my friend recommended and I was not keen on watching because I thought the magic of HP would not be there.So wrong,this movie ended up being my favourite thing and I'd watched it around 6-7 times that year.
Sapes in the BG was something I tended to use for this movie icons.


2019:
This year was when I found the Guardian fandom and oh my gosh,the way I fell into it was shocking!Fanart,icons,fanvids,I made so many things for it! The whole of 2019 was all Guardian for me.I love using the big+small or front/behind character,especially to show Shen Wei and Zhao Yunlan (WeiLan) because their love is sometimes painful but oh sooo good because of how much they're so obviously in love and are the perfect partners in crime!


2020:
The Untamed is what kept me happy this year,one of my top top shows and one I've rewatched many times. This fandom is very active and I ended up logging back into twitter for it!No regrets! Lan Xichen X Jiang Cheng (Xicheng) is now one of my OTPs and I must have read over a hundred fanfics of them! I do use a lot of pinky colouring and saturated style for The Untamed so I combined the two.

Oh wow your colorings and compositions are on point as always! These are really awesome and holy shit, extra hard mode! I love that some are doing that, since I'm very much fascinated by the progress that everyone has made, and yours is super inspiring too. It's fascinating to see how the same elements have been there from the beginning, such as levels/blocking. (Although I gotta say your first icons aren't half bad compared to most other makers starting icons, including mine. Still, the progress is impressive!)

Where to begin with the favorites?! There's something really great about each of these, but the very last icon is absolutely stunning, the coloring and typography give it a wonderfully magical vibe. I think it's my top favorite!

The first two icons both have great use of background text, I love huge impact-making text work like that. Love the blocking in the 5th icon especially, the text that ties the blocks together is a great composition element and I really dig the combination of distinctly differently colored blocks.

The Belle icon for 2014 is GORGEOUS, the lighting/coloring/texture use makes it so elegant and shiny and bright! <3
The Free! icon is extra cuteness, I don't see a lot of Reigisa icons so I appreciate you making one, this one is so adorbs. Love the subtly shiny lighting and the bright colors. It must be so relaxing being a fan of this ship that has no fandom drama, with all the World War Free! going on a few years back, this was pretty much the one ship that nobody had a problem with :D

The coloring and blocking in 14 look great too and I love the shiny vibrancy in 13 :)

Thanks so much for entering and sharing your history!

Aaaahhh!Thank you so much for your words!I do love iconing OUAT characters in their dressed up outfits,they're just so magical!
Also yes!!Huge yes to the big blocky text in the BG,so glad you liked that for my first two icons!The last icon...I'm so happy you like it!Seriously!!!
Haha,yes,ReiGisa is pretty much canon in my head,lol,I mean all that official art feeds fans like me very well!XD
I honestly can imagine all the ship wars going on with everyone else and that's why I enjoy multiships when it comes to everyone except ReiGisa. From MakoRin to MakotoSousuke, HaruRin,RinSousuke-yeaaaah, I'll stop!:D

As usual I was excited to see what you make , and you always make it worth. :D
The 1st two icons, with their sense of movement and text in the bg gives a sense of 3D Kickass vibes ! Also the blocking and coloring of the Morgana icon is lovely. The same for 2017 icon.
The HP icon of Harry in the 3rd year is my pick of the update , from the lines to blue bg to simplicity to harry being gorgeous himself , every thing works in it;s favor.
Also, the 3 icons from ,14 through ,15 - lovely ladies , neat stylish bgs and great coloring , lovely end product.
And the last icon of Jian Cheng and Lan Xichen is <3 Coloring , border and text are awesome.

3rd year Harry was the prettiest Harry!

Awesome set! I love the compositions, especially on all text icons. The monochrome look of the Fantastic Beasts icon is also great :D

Oooh, love your set, and your explanations! The muted coloring in the 2019 Weilan icon works so well omg, and I really like the flowery Reign icon amd the golden 2014 icon, the 2013 (that font also works in small!), and both 2017 icons. That was such a fun round, and I am happy i finally found the time to go through and leave comments.

Oh thank you so much!I'm so happy to hear you liking the muted colouring in the WeiLan icon,Shen Wei's serious face almost always makes me want to go that route.Haha,yes,I usually use that font in 2013 in large size but then saw that it looked cool here in small too!
