Listening to music and heard a song that NEEDED an icon. Or maybe I just needed an icon of it. Either way, I made one!

It comes from the song Wicked Women by The Hound + The Fox. They are an amazing folk duo that everyone should listen to. Here is the song referenced, for a taste.

Wicked Women by The Hound + The Fox have a link since dreamwidth won't let me embed the video.

I've been struggling to feel inspired/creative for quite a while. Nothing has really been grabbing my attention. But today I felt like playing around with some icons I had tried to make before from song lyrics. I'm pretty happy with how they turned out.

They're both inspired by song lyrics from The Amazing Devil.

"If you ask me for my fire, just watch me, just watch me, just watch me burn" ~Secret Worlds
"Cos she is so much more than all her scars" ~Inkpot Gods

I finally got PaintShop on my laptop! I had tried using GIMP, but it just feels so clunky and I don't like it. I still have to re-download all my fonts and brushes and things, but I have the program itself, so I made a few icons I had made before that came out a little off.

Current Music: I Guess I'm in Love~Clinton Kane

I've been working on some icons based on The Amazing Devil lyrics. I finally finished three that I like.

"The cracks you made/I filled with mortar" Pray | "Flirting/Wasn't flirting/in the back of a book shop" Wild Blue Yonder | "Write me well my love,/Write me weird" Secret Worlds

Concrit is always welcome! Feel free to use them, credit is always appreciated.

I made one yesterday and the other two today.

Both are song lyrics from Paula Cole. The first one is from Throwing Stones, the second two are variations on a lyric from Me.

Comments/concrit always welcome!

ETA: ~~I really need to learn to check how my icons look on my phone before posting them. I see the second two are oversaturated. ::sigh:: I'll fix them tomorrow.~~ Fixed! (unless you disagree?)

Late as always, here are my icons for the year. No where near as many as last year. I skipped months that didn't have any icons. Somehow the icons I made in May never made it to my journal? Also my journal and my computer disagree on some of the dates. I have no idea what happened. This year was hard.

( January )
15 Labyrinth icons

( February )
12 Breakfast Club icons

( March )
14 Tin Man icons 1 ADOW icon 1 Big Sky icon 1 Clarice icon 1 Equalizer icon

( May )
4 Emerald City icons

( July )
4 Loki icons 4 Silent All These Years lyric icons

Since making my schedule, I've been working on icons on Thursdays. I finally finished some that I've been working on and tried to do some Loki icons, but the lighting is terrible, so I probably won't try that again.

I made some icons for

your_favorites for my favorite 80s movie. I made more than the four I entered in the challenge, but didn't want to share them until the challenge had ended. So here are 12 icons from The Breakfast Club!

I initially wanted to do a set of David Bowie icons as it was so close to his birthday when the challenge started. I couldn't find any usable stock photos of him though, so I switched to doing a Labyrinth set.

I made the most icons this year than any year since I started making icons. I'm not sure I made any real progress in quality from the beginning to the end of the year and there are definitely still things I would like to learn, but I'm pretty happy with what I made.

I finally finished the Hauntober prompt!! Only a few days late, but I didn't get started until around the 18th, so it evens out.

( 31 Icons )

Concrit always welcome!

ETA: I don't know what it is, but icons always come out darker once I upload them. I fixed the ones that I noticed the lighting was too dark in, if there are any I missed, please let me know!

I started this challenge with one theme idea in mind, couldn't get it to work, did NOTHING for a week, then managed to get these done in about five days. 0.0

Enjoy some Agents of SHIELD!

I don't think I've made so many icons in such a short space of time before. 0.0

I struggled with the Repeat icon, nothing wanted to cooperate and I'm not 100% happy with what I have, but it's not going to get better, so I'm sticking with what I have. My wifi adapter has been wonky lately, and getting online has been a challenge, so I decided to use images I already had instead of downloading new ones. Enjoy some old fandoms!

More Prodigal Son icons. A few I made for a challenge and didn't want to post until it was over and some I made this week.

Concrit always welcome! Feel free to use, credit it appreciated, but not necessary.

Made a few icons for Prodigal Son.

100x100 size

128x128 size (Tumblr)

Feel free to use them if you'd like! Credit is appreciated, but not required.

Made some more icons for A Discovery of Witches. Its been a while since I've done any text work and I feel a bit rusty with it. Any concrit would be welcome.

And the banner I made for my Tumblr, but never posted.

I finally found a new show that inspires! It's been a long time. There have been new shows that I liked, but none that really spoke to me.

But this past Sunday A Discovery of Witches premiered here in the sates (it premiered last year in the UK (and possibly elsewhere)) and I watched it yesterday.

When it ended I wanted more. Partly because it ended on a kind of cliff hangerish, frustrating end. A reveal that the main character got to see, but we didn't, just her reaction.

I WANT TO KNOW WHAT SHE SAW!!!!!!! ::sigh:: I can guess, but really I just want to SEE it.

And I want SO BAD to read some fanfic (there is some out there), but I don't want any spoilers and the few I skimmed summaries of included characters that I haven't met yet. :(

SO, I made icons instead!

They're not super great, I'm feeling a bit rusty, but I really wanted to keep them simple and just work on my composition/cropping. I'm not sure if the images were poor quality or if it was me messing with the lighting too much, but some of them were a bit pixelated. I tried to smooth them out, but I'm sure you can see it if you look close.

SOMEONE WATCH THIS WITH ME SO I CAN SHARE MY FEELINGS!!

And I know it's based on a book series (https://deborahharkness.com/all-souls-world-home/the-all-souls-world-books/), I've already looked it up. I won't read it until the show is done though. Otherwise it might ruin the show for me.

I know it's March now, but I'm going to post my icons for the year any way. I'm sad that I didn't get to make more and hope that I can get back to it soon. I'll probably have to relearn everything again, but oh well.

Current Music: Not the Doctor~Alanis Morissette

I've just noticed that icons are missing from my icon posts. The images have all been stripped from my posts. And the links only direct to the main page of the host site instead of directly to the image.

Not sure what's going on. I upload all my images to the same host and use the same html code whether it's an icon or a random photo.

I've checked both my html and my host site, everything is the same as always.

Anyone else having the same problem?
