#229: Icons

violateraindrop — Sun, 08 Feb 2026 15:47:37 GMT

I think these are the first icons I made since April 2025. Like I said in my previous post, I'm not completely gone from the icon community.
These were made for retro-icontest. Round 35 uses an old challenge from somein30, called Icon Crossing. I also entered the original round here. Just like the first time, I'm using normal mode. I'm far too rusty by now to try anything else. I'm also not super happy with most of these, but I have to start somewhere if I want to get back into making icons. Since I was not sure I'd manage to enter, I didn't even ask tinny to randomize the pairs for me and just used the instructions posted with the challenge to do it myself ;)

Happy New Year!
What can I say? I made 27 icons this year. I don't really feel like putting this community "officially" on hiatus, because I'm still interested in making icons and I'm still around, commenting on icon posts, voting, and making praise posts. So I'm not 100% inactive...anyway, here are the 15 icons I haven't posted yet, most of them were made for stocklove much earlier this year.

I was already preparing excuses for why my first update of 2025 is so late, but apparently I'm still earlier than last year. When retro-icontest posted this round based on an old technique20in20 challenge, I really wanted to enter. I loved this community back in the day and always thought I made pretty good icons for it. You can find the set I originally made for that challenge here. I'm not super happy with these, but considering how rusty I am, it's okay ;)

Round 25 at retro-icontest: Lockwood & Co., Ghost (band)

10 THEMES

Surrounded by darkness	Sky is above us	Silhouette blending	As simple as it can get	Overwhelming text

Sightless	White decoration	Your heart's desire	Mood coloring	Neon lights

Alternates

Your heart's desire: Anthony Lockwood wants everyone to know his name and have a famous agency. Seeing himself on TV was a huge step into that direction.
Mood coloring: Apparently the coloring for "hopeful" is pastel purple or pink.

Happy New Year! Finally, the icons I made for various challenges during the second half of 2024. I wish I could say I'll update more frequently in 2025, but I have no idea if that will happen. I hope I'll at least be as active as I was in 2024 ;)

I actually made more icons during the second half of 2024, but never got around to posting them here. Instead of unceremoniously dumping +70 icons at the end of the year, I at least wanted to make a separate post for the icons from the My Lady Jane battle. Big thank you to tinnny for hosting this battle (I helped a bit with the banner and themes)! You can find the icons from the other participants and the themes here.

Look at me entering monthlyinspo! The theme is Me and My Best Friend. My plan was to only use show I'm currently watching/watched recently, but I couldn't find the screencaps I wanted. So I threw in Only Murders in the Building since that will start again soon. I feel like I did manage to end up with a somewhat coherent set by removing the backgrounds that I am rather happy with.

So, first update this year. In case you're wondering what took so long: I could still feel the effects of Covid until February/March and didn't do much besides work, I booked a vacation which I then prepared for months on the weekends (yes, you can "overplan" a trip), and then came back from that vacation with Covid. Yay. At least this time the effects don't seem to last as long. For the first half of 2024, I can only share 25 icons, but that's better than nothing I guess...

#222: Icons

violateraindrop — Sat, 30 Dec 2023 15:06:18 GMT

In the end it was not my new job that prevented me from making more icons and updating this community in 2023, but getting Covid in October. Even though it was a mild case (or what is typically referred to as one), it reduced my energy levels. That effect is still persisting. Icons and related activities, and keeping up with DW/LJ in general, had to fall by the wayside. I hope to get back into icon making some time next year or at least keep up with what everyone else is doing. For now, here are all the unposted icons I made until September.

#221: Icons

violateraindrop — Sat, 12 Aug 2023 12:41:57 GMT

It hasn't actually been thaaaaat long since my last entry (I definitely think it has been worse before^^) and I have been making icons (as recent as July!). However, my laptop with Photoshop is on its last legs. I did actually get a new one already, but I haven't set up anything yet. The resolution is higher though, so now icons look really small...I do still have a backlog of icons I can post here. Let's start simple with just two different sections. Stock (made for stocklove_ic) and Shadow and Bone icons made for various challenges. The majority come from the battle sietepecados organized. Go here to see the corresponding episodes and everyone else's icons!

Happy Easter! The long weekend seems like a good time to finally post the icons from the Top Gun: Maverick battle (click the link to see all icons). Big thank you to narnialover7 for hosting this awesome battle! I ended up with 13 alts, so I didn't add them to my original submission. It seemed a bit excessive lol
Style-wise these are all over the place because I really took my time with them. I started a day after the themes were posted and submitted a couple of days before the deadline. I really just made 1-2 icons per day. The format is very similar to a 20in20, so this is how I decided to post them here.

Best of '22: Result

violateraindrop — Tue, 28 Feb 2023 12:11:08 GMT

This time I was much faster posting my best of result! Before I'm starting though, I want to mention some "admin" stuff. I'm starting a new, my first full-time, job tomorrow. While I don't want to stop iconing, I can't say how frequently I will do so in the future. You know that I sometimes forget to post on here for months. So it's possible that I'm around to make icons, but it might get even quieter here. That said, I do have a bunch of icons from the Top Gun: Maverick battle that still need to be posted, but then I finished the monthlyinspo icons and figured to space them out some ;)

And now to the main event. My best of 2022 results.
The winner:

This icon got 9 votes. I'm okay with this being the winning icon. Animated icon often do pretty well in these polls and this one is decent enough I suppose.
It's followed by three icons with 6 votes each. That includes two animated icons again!

This icon got 5 votes and I definitely like it.
These icons were very close together, so I'm also including the icons that got 4 votes.

I did like the Star Wars post the last two are from ;)

My pick for 2022 is a bit of a strange one.

I saw this texture in the inspiration post, knew what I wanted to do, and it turned out exactly like that. I haven't even used it myself, but I think it turned out perfect.

I picked 16 more this time and didn't really have to narrow anything down.

There isn't any overlap between the two groups, but I'm okay with that. However, both selections include icons from the two somein30 music rounds which I both loved. The themes were very inspiring and I really liked the outcome.
I'm proud of myself for including more than one icon with text in this selection. There are three icons from this entry here. Apparently I really liked it.

#218: Icons

violateraindrop — Tue, 21 Feb 2023 20:42:43 GMT

The first new icons I'm posting this year! Not the first ones I made, but you know what happens here lol
I didn't even think I would enter this round of monthlyinspo. Then I decided to just look for some screencaps that would do most of the work for me which is how I settled on the fandoms. Nothing fancy here. I think they turned out okay and I like making the full 20 this time.

violateraindrop — Fri, 30 Dec 2022 14:56:10 GMT

No matter what theme/prompt/challenge I sat in front of this month, nothing happened. I really wanted to enter both of these though. monthlyinspo had a grab bag and when I ask for one, I'll make something for it! Round 20 is the final round of somein30, so I also had to enter that one. I only did five icons when my personal minimum is usually ten. Like I said, nothing worked for me this month. I'm not happy with the first five icons, but then I decided to go with the same approach as tinnny which worked much better for me :D

Best of '21: Result

violateraindrop — Sun, 11 Dec 2022 16:39:35 GMT

Best of is starting again soon and I never made an entry for last year's result. I had the icons neatly tucked away in a folder, but never made an entry for it. Then when all that LJ/DW stuff happened, I also kinda forgot about it. Well, this is the perfect opportunity to also promote this year's activities, I guess ;)

The winner:

This icon was made for movieslims as an alt for the comeback challenge. I did not end up entering it because I wasn't sure if everything worked. I entered another icon and lost lol
This icon had 13 votes.
The next icon had 6 votes. It is one I was very happy with!

Then we have three icons with 5 votes. Two of these can also be found in my picks below.

And finally, since they are so close together, seven icons with 4 votes each.

I can't really pick between two icons for my favorite from 2021.

I'm not sure the first icon was even nominated. It's one of the rare icons with text that I really like.

Usually I go with ~20 icons for my best of roundup, but I narrowed it down to twelve more this time.

And that's it. I don't have much to say one year later. I'll try to be faster next time!

violateraindrop — Sat, 03 Dec 2022 18:25:49 GMT

Last day of the extended deadline and I'm finally posting my entry for monthlyinspo. First I wasn't sure what fandom to use. Thor: Love and Thunder seemed perfect, but initially I was too lazy to go through 80 pages of caps. I thought I'd use another fandom which had a gallery that I could sort by most viewed. That didn't happen and in the end I went through 80 pages of caps. When I had them and finally started my set, I got some neck/shoulder pain which made using Photoshop kinda difficult. My set was original 10 icons, but there were some I wanted to redo since they didn't really fit in with the rest (keeping the original background and mainly monochrome coloring), these are icons 11 and 12.

I haven't made that many icons over the Summer, so I guess it's not too bad that there are icons from February I haven't posted yet. I did also forget to crosspost older entries for a while. These are only MCU icons and it's been a looong time since I made a MCU only post. To be fair, this one does include icons from two different movieslims rounds. That's why there are two sections for alternates ;)

I made it! I finished a second set for somein30, this time with a TV show. Recently I watched Schitt's Creek and it did seem perfect for this challenge. I did the last season and used hard mode. My original plan was to represent the episode titles in some way, but I ended with what I think are recognizable caps.

So here is my entry for somein30. I picked Extra Hard Mode. I'm in a bit of a Star Wars mood after playing the Lego Skywalker Saga which makes this mode much easier. They are in chronological order since that's also how I played the game. I tried to tie them all together by adding some grunge to every icon. The icons from the new movies still look very different with their more vibrant coloring. I'd love to do another set which fits a bit more with the theme and use a TV show, but I'm not sure if that will happen. I also feel a tad bit rusty, so these are pretty simple overall, but it still took me a while to make them.

Episode I – The Phantom Menace: Most Known For - I feel like this movie is mostly known for rather negative things among fans apart from the character and character design of Maul.
Episode II – Attack of the Clones: MVP Character - Obi-Wan was probably the star of that movie for me, but I love that Padme finally got to do some action scenes.
Episode III – Revenge of the Sith: Favorite Scene - I'm sorry, but the entire "Anakin turning to the Dark Side" sequence is just epic.
Episode IV – A New Hope: Most Known For - Fans probably know this movie by heart. However, I think Leia's iconic buns and white dress are something that everyone knows :D
Episode V – The Empire Strikes Back: Underrated - Not a good prompt for the most popular movie of the entire series. So I decided to go with Hoth. I like the ice planet and Vader looks pretty cool in front of the white background with the scary snow troopers behind him.
Episode VI – Return of the Jedi: Favorite Quote - This one was actually pretty easy. I'm also happy with how it turned out which is rare for icons with text for me.
Episode VII – The Force Awakens: MVP Character - Finn's arc in this movie is the most interesting for me. He went from Stormtrooper to hero :)
Episode VIII – The Last Jedi: Favorite Interaction - Might be a weird choice, but I was so happy when Poe and Rey finally meet.
Episode IX – The Rise of Skywalker: Plot - Everything connecting through the force to defeat the Dark Side seems like one of the central aspects in this movie. Something Rey also tries to do at the beginning of the movie while meditating. She only really succeeded during the final fight at the end of the movie.

#210: Icons

violateraindrop — Sun, 19 Jun 2022 11:15:22 GMT

I have not made any post that wasn't made for a specific challenge here this year yet. Sorry!? The Witcher icons are actually from the same LIMS as the icons I posted on January 2. They have been a couple of LIMS icons since then which always means I make a lot of alternates. I'll be making a couple of smaller posts, 30-40 icons, but probably not in quick succession. At least all icons made in January are out of the way...

#209: Icons

violateraindrop — Fri, 29 Apr 2022 19:48:31 GMT

Here is what I refer to as my main set for the current somein30 challenge. It uses hard mode and I have to say that I'm rather proud of it. Not because the icons are particularly usable, but it was quite the project. Again, not even the icons itself, but finding the right subjects/screencaps, how to interpret certain songs, and make it all fit together. Since I already made a mini set for the challenge, I did take my time for this one and doesn't matter how close to the deadline I enter. That said, I did not work on it for a month after initially starting like a day after it was posted. Below the icon table is lengthy(?) write-up about the album itself and the inspiration for each icon.

Round 16 at somein30: The Blacklist, The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, The Handmaid's Tale, Person of Interest, Snowpiercer

This set is inspired by Year Zero from Nine Inch Nails which was released in 2007. It is a concept album dealing with surveillance, a (Christian) faith-based dictatorship in the US, and the resistance against it. The themes gave me my main fandoms: The Handmaid's Tale, Snowpiercer, and Person of Interest. Unfortunately, it's pretty hard by now to find screencaps for the last one. Despite the fact that this album is 15 years old, the topics are still very much relevant. I'm barely scratching the surface here though. There went a lot into the album and the story behind it which you can read about here. There was at one point a show on HBO planned which would have made this challenge even easier. I do feel like I'm cheating a bit by using a concept album ;)
Year Zero also has a clear visual concept. It uses a lot of cold, muted colors. There also a lot of glitch effects. That also gave me a clear idea what to do with the icons. Here you can take a look at all the artwork. For most of the animated icons I used PhotoMosh.

Hyperpower
The album opens with an instrumental. As an inspiration I took the general vibe the song gave me and its title. To me it sounds a bit like marching. So I decided to icon the two way that Gilead asserts power, through military and faith.

The Beginning Of The End
I took this one pretty literally. Picking two caps from one of the flashbacks with June and Moira at a protest which was dissolved with military force.

Survivalism
I got my propaganda I got revisionism
I got my violence in high def ultra-realism
All a part of this great nation
I got my fist I got my plan I got survivalism
The only music video made for this album, so I stuck with its aesthetic.

The Good Soldier
I am trying to see
I am trying to believe
This is not where I should be
I am trying to believe
This song is about a reluctant soldier who does not believe in what he is fighting for. Also a very apt description for Bucky Barnes.

Vessel
I can see right through this whole façade
I am becoming something else
I am turning into God
I always thought that this was about a cult leader. I think it fits with how Wilford's followers see him and he definitely thinks of Snowpiercer as "his" train that he created like a God.

Me, I'm Not
And it's happening
Never planned on this
...
Can't seem to shut it off
This thing I've begun
And it's hard to tell—just
Where it's coming from
And it's hard to see
What I'm capable of
Finch definitely struggled with what the technology he developed is capable of and all his fears come true when Samaritan goes online. This icon is mainly inspired by how the show depicts this AI vs The Machine.

Capital G
Don't try to tell how some power can corrupt a person
You haven't had enough to know what it's like
You're only angry 'cause you wish you were in my position
There are different interpretations of what the "Capital G" in this song stands for. Some say it's the G in G.W. Bush, others say it's just for Green as in "dollars are green." The most popular option seems to be that it stands for greed which is also how I would interpret it. So here we have a greedy rich character and some bonus green coloring.

My Violent Heart
This is the first icon I made for this set and this is probably my favorite song from the album. I couldn't even quote specific lyrics (well, apart from the "You can not stop us all" used on the actual icon) since this whole song is the inspiration here. It is from the POV of the rebellion, in this case the tail against Ruth who was at this point still the mouthpiece for Wilford.

The Warning
Some say it was a warning
Some say it's a sign
I was standing right there
When it came down from the sky
I feel like I'm really reaching with this one. The interpretation I'm going with here is that humans are destroying the planet and trying to stop that only made it worse, at least on Snowpiercer, leading to a new ice age.

God Given
Now we know we're right
When His kingdom come
And Thy will be done
We have just begun
We're the chosen ones
The image of the Waterfords and June standing in front of the wings was too perfect. Then I found one which was more of a behind-the-scene shot on the show itself of them on a monitor. Even better for this set.

Meet Your Master
Count down to the end
And we're headed there faster
Come on down my friend
It's time to meet your master
This song is more about the resistance getting their hands on someone of the ruling class. This icon is more of a metaphor with June taking on the Waterfords/Gilead in court.

The Greater Good
I'm just going to quote the wiki page for this one: "The song tells the assimilation of people into believing and following the government of Year Zero." That can also be easily applied to Gilead. Kinda creepy. The style of this icon is heavily inspired by this promotional(?) poster.

The Great Destroyer
I hope they cannot see
The limitless potential
Living inside of me
To murder everything
I hope they cannot see
I am the Great Destroyer
This is the icon I'm least happy with. I suppose if we're going with the storyline of Person of Interest, this icon should come before 6 since it is still about the theoretical possibilities of Finch's surveillance technology.

Another Version Of The Truth
The second instrumental and again I went with the vibe and title of the song. I think this one sounds dark and melancholic. The icon shows the tail, the other side of living on Snowpiercer.

In This Twilight
As the time is running out
Let me take away your doubt
We can find a better place
This is the last icon I made for this set and I really struggled with it. The song itself always sounded very hopeful to me, but the lyrics suggest more doom and a definite goodbye. I tried to depict both here with Reese's final moments in the last episode that include a smile on his face.

Zero-Sum
Shame on us
Doomed from the start
...
And all we ever were
Just zeros and ones
For this icon I used a cap from the very first episode. It was not planned to have these two icons next to each other. Style-wise they also kinda compliment each other. I really wanted to get the literal "zeros and ones" in there.

#208: Icons

violateraindrop — Tue, 12 Apr 2022 14:32:36 GMT

I actually have a proper set for somein30 that I'm working on and will hopefully finish after not working on it for fours weeks. Meanwhile, I am completely obsessed with this one song/music video at the moment (not going to be everyone's cup of tea) and I had to channel that into...something. This is supposed to be ultra hard mode (never thought I'd say that) but I did the exact opposite of what the theme post says and used the chorus only with all the repeated bits. In any case, it does fit the theme in general. I'm not sure how well these turned out since text is still my enemy, but I had fun! Using the same coloring on all of them at least help to great a coherent look.
