15 BL couple icons for Round 9 @ somein30

[abyss_valkyrie]

AAAHHHH!!Yes,I've been working on this set for a while. I was so excited when I saw the inspo for this round at somein30.
For my x-axis I went from a muted to vibrant colouring(I don't know how to make the last column more vibrant without it turning ugly. T_T). For the y-axis I chose to show the proximity of the characters.I always love watching that progress and relationship development from near strangers or enemies to trusted friends/partners and then to lovers. :)
Focused on some of my most favourite BL couples.
Shows from Left to right: We best Love:Fighting Mr. Second, HIStory3-trapped, Guardian, Cherry Magic and A tale of thousand stars.

omg the text work !! im so impress i open the text tool and get sad lol these are so good! i think my favorites are 1 (the crop and coloring), 6 (the fun typography), and 11 (the complexity and blocking!)

Awesome set! The compositions are seriously impressive. 12 is my favorite, but they all look great and work so well together as a set :D

Wow, such great work!

I've seen Cherry Magic. I recognise the Guardian guys from my flist. And I have We Best Love on my list because YouTube showed me an ad or a vid or something and it looked good.

Ooooh proximity is such a clever axis! Love it!
I like it how you experimented with text and tried different compositions, sizes and fonts! *-*
Love the crop in 1 (and also the more vibrant alt!), the super vibrant coloring in 5 (so cute!), and the composition in 8 and 9! <3

Wow, these are gorgeous!!
The text placement in all of these is great, especially 1, 6, 8, 11 and 12! I also really like the colors of your vibrant icons, especially the color-blocked one like 14. I also think the proximity concept is kind of unique so that's a really fun thing to work with! I think my faves are 3, 8 and 11!

Omg I love your axes, the Y axis something I didn't even think of but it's so great for couples icons! Also wow, so much text - great job with all the text work, so many fun and different text arrangments!

I think my top favorite is 11, the pale coloring is exquisite and WOW at the composition! Awesome awesome blocking and text use. 5 is another top favorite, the extra vibrant coloring just works so well. I also love the eye-catching color combination and awesome text use on 14. 9 is fantastic, love the textured background.

The crop and coloring in 1 are amazing, so perfectly muted, the text work is subtle but very effective as decoration. The colors and composition on 12 are incredible as well, I don't know how you did the ~erasing effect on the top image or if the cap was like that but it looks so cool! The pastels in the middle column are super pretty, I especially love 13 with the perfect use of background text - love the font combination.

Great set, thanks so much for entering!! :D

.I always love watching that progress and relationship development from near strangers or enemies to trusted friends/partners and then to lovers.

This is my favorite aspect of shipping relationships in everything I watch/read! :D

Anyway, beautiful set. Nice crop and muted tone in 1, lovely composition in 4, love the overall colors of 13-14-15.

But my absolute favorite is 20. Love the soft pink, muted tones and light texture use!

Also 17 is very cute. Lovely color combination and softness :)

I was so sure I'd commented on this post already, but I haven't?!

Your axes are amazing! Aalllllll the text work omg. I really love 1, 2, 5 (yay proximity! :D), 10 (the background in the middle level makes it look even more complex than it is :D), and 11, 13, and 15. (Yay I also chose all the vibrant ones :D)

Special mention for 12: the way the text work and composition combine is just Wow!
