hope is the thing with feathers

Sooooo. I made some icons. I experimented a lot. Some of them came out really well okay and some of them ... didn't. I'm posting them all, so there! You have to sort through the bad ones to get to the good slightly better ones! Or maybe the bad ones will make the okay ones look even better. HA!

Under the cut we have many fandoms!

5 due south
4 labyrinth
7 brave
5 the goonies
4 stargate: atlantis
1 the princess bride
4 teen wolf
4 the avengers
4 doctor who
1 farscape
2 sherlock (bbc)
7 pitch perfect

examples:

bad: (just tell me to stay away from text altogether, okay?)

good: (at least, it seems okay to me. might be one of the bad ones!)

I focused overly on vibrant color on a couple of these, and went crazy with composition and blocking on others. Heh. (I meant to make a batch for theiconquest, but nothing I do is questy-enough. the first challenge is 'adventure' and you can tell I tried to do some adventure-themed icons here, but ugh. not ready. maybe the next batch.)

I don't save .PSDs, I hardly ever use scripts, and there's nothing in particular I do to every cap to prep it. I deal with every icon on an individual basis! however, if you would like me to explain approximately how I did something in a particular icon, I can try to do that. :D?

( 48 icons )

ALSO! I have some icon-sized textures I've been making. Is anyone interested in ones like this:



???

OR I could just write up a tutorial on how to make them, since they're super easy to make on your own and that way everyone isn't using the same textures, you know? Let me know what you think.
