monthlyinspo has moved to dreamwidth! So, this round was all about making icons for tv shows, movies etc. adapted from books. This was really fun because I got to icon some fandoms that are new, some that I enjoy occasionally and some of my absolute favourites. Hover over the icons for fandom. Comments are appreciated.
What an interesting round at monthlyinspo. We had to take inspiration from spices.I mainly went with the colour and in some cases, the characters or the scene signifying the spice too. Hover for fandom and spice name.
This round at monthlyinspo was about making icons with the theme of 'Two' in various ways. I don't icon two characters together all that much unless I'm showing relationships, so I definitely wanted to enter this round. :D Hover for fandom!
Ah!I wanted to create 20 icons for Round 11's set for somein30 because cropping is adventurous! But time...happened! Enjoy the icons. Hover fon fandom. :) Preview: ( 10 Multifandom icons )
bethctg chose box 8 for me for the Mystery box round at fandom10in30 . I started with villain in a white suit and of course,I iconed Ye Zun from Guardian so I planned on making the whole set from Guardian. But then when I saw the genre:horror as one of the prompts that I initially thought I'd skip,it seemed perfect for my new show:Sweet Home. So this ended up being a set of 5 icons each from both the shows. :D Hover to see the prompts. Preview:
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.
This round at somein30 was a randomized icon challenge where we got 20 random prompts and oh my,it was so much fun!:D Hover to see the fandom names and prompts.The inspos and explanations are below the icon set.All icons are free to take with credit.
Well,this set for fandom10in30 turned into a storge-fest icon post! XD Once I started iconing the Yunmeng siblings from the Untamed...I could not resist iconing tgem from the donghua too so this post is really mostly full of familial love. Can I just say,I absolutely adore the drunk Lan bros episode in MDZS Q. Even if you don't watch the Untamed/Mo Dao zu shi, this short clip is full of drunken hilarity! Hover for the character & fandom names.
This round at 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:
Round 3 at somein30 was to make vibrant and/or muted icons.If you've seen my sets,you know I'm all about equal numbers,lol!So ten icons of each style! I tried them in hard mode (because why now?!) Take any icons with credit!
5 icons each from: Guardian, BBC Merlin, Mulan: Rise of a warrior(2009), Marie Antoinette (2006) Preview:
Round 1 at somein30 was very interesting with a game of dice & various prompts+modes. I went with the hard mode on all the icons because,lol,I wanted to!XD. Some of them are a strange combo like muted+shiny but I think I did pretty great overall!:D My last 7 icons were artist's choice so that made things easier!:D 5 icons each from Guardian, The Untamed, Crash Landing on you & Two weeks.
Indigo is a rich color that is associated with a variety of things including: magic, experience, truth, dignity, virtue, dreams, profanity, inferiority,imagination, luxury, wisdom, spirit, destiny, elegance, intuition. Indigo is a cross between blue and violet and usually I'd call some shades of it blue rather than indigo,unless I was paying close attention. A post that turned quite gigantic,lol!!Enjoy this!
Part 2: Outfits in fandom. The indigo outfits that I immediately thought of were Jiang Cheng's (The Untamed). Then I found some images while going through my Musketeers folder of Queen Anne and Milady De Winter. Magic made me check my Sabrina folder & lmao!! I found an indigo dress,alright!
Part 4: Traditional outfits + Marchesa jellyfish dress. In a general way these could be called navy blue but these do kind of look indigo to me so here they are. It's actually a colour sometimes seen in traditional Indian,Bengali, Pakistani outfits but mostly in junction with other colours such as gold, silver, white or red. It has an elegant feel to it so I honestly think it elevates your look. :) ( Traditional indigo fashion and what I call a jellyfish dress. )
Part 5: Some fanarts. Haruka Nanase (free!) , Wei Wuxian ( MDZS/ The Untamed) and Shen Wei & Zhao Yunlan (Guardian) ( Here be some night skies )
Green is a rich color that is associated with a variety of things including: awakening, growth, renewal, productivity,intelligence, exuberance,prosperity, money, luck, envy, greed, survival, nature, spring, and birth.
There's a lot to say about green, the fourth colour going on at sunshine_challenge so this post is divided into 3 parts. :)
Round 29 at fandom10in30 is a LGBT+ round. You'd think I would icon all my favourite pairings for this one but once I started with the Duanmu Xi/ Yang Jinghua icons,I had to restrain myself from iconing just them for the whole set,lol!!XD Hover for fandom!!! All icons are okay to take with credit. :)
What an interesting round at fandom10in30 . I chose 10 TV tropes and iconed various shows for it.Fandom/Character details are below the icons. Preview:
Round 31 at monthlyinspo was all about being inspired by chocolates in a chocolate box!Oh man,what a delicious round!:D I had an awesome time iconing some of my favourite couples for this one!Hover for chcolate flavour and fandom.
Once I started realising just how Zhao Yunlan sits and lounges everywhere but seats of any sort, I just had to do it! :D Caps from episode 23,24,25,28 ,29 and 30 are by kernezelda .
I'm so close to actually getting all the badges and maybe even complete the whole thing,I'm gonna try my best until the deadline to get it all! XD
For Power,I went with Zhu Hong because I wanted to draw her red eyes. Also Zhao Yunlan is totally wearing Shen Wei's shirt and *cough* the artwork is *cough* healing. I swear it is. O_o
For the mountain river awl I'm picking up this idea helpfully suggested months back by extrapenguinhere with this little drawing of chibi-ish Zhao Yunlan fighting Zhu Jiu with his...featherduster!
Edit:Added the lyrics with Kapwing and the border to hide the youku logo and changed the colouring a little. :D Sooooo, I made a fanvid :3 It was unexpected and came to me quite suddenly and I'm not very good at it yet but it's the most I could do with the in built video editor and some lightening effects in vsdc editor. I can't believe it took me so long to make a video that's not even 2 minutes long. T_T The song is 'I do adore' by Mindy Gledhill and it's a cute sort of song.I cut it short for this video. :)
