Well hello there! It's been 5 million years since I have made an icon set. I have made a few icons for various challenge but not many so therefore I am super rusty. My community, tvcharacter20 is closing and I thought it would be fun to enter one last time. I hadn't entered since the 2nd round (6 years ago!).

A few of these icons are brought to you by I need sleep badly, lol.

If you know me, you know that I am obsessed with the 90s. So when I saw that musicians20in20 was having a special round featuring 90s singers/groups, I had to take part in it. The good majority of these are my main loves, Backstreet Boys. <3. Also for most of them, I did a sort of summer theme. #11 was a sort of remake of an icon that I had made forever ago that still lives in my userpics.

I am happy with maybe half of these. My goal for June is to read a bunch of tutorials that I have bookmarked but haven't had the time to read. Time for some new techniques!

Singers/Groups used:
Brandy (1) - Britney Spears (1) - Backstreet Boys (14) - Spice Girls (4)

It's been awhile since I posted here! I have icons from various contests that I need to upload later but I will do that in a different post.

I made 10 icons of Piper Halliwell for charmed20in20 (I know, stop me if you have heard this one before haha!).

hp20in20 was doing a random characters round and I couldn't resist the challenge. I really struggle with HP caps coloring so I tried a few different things. Hopefully the tutorials I read the other day helped me show some progress in my overall composition.

I have not made Disney icons in FOREVER but I got the urge to do so, so I signed up for the first time at disneykrumkakes. Luckily the round was extended so that I was able to get my set done. I chose my favorite Disney male character ever, Kronk!!

20 misc. characters for charmed20in20.

I struggled with this set. Things were too bright or too dark or too blurry or too magenta (some of these caps..ugh). Either way, I was having problems finishing this set for some reason, lol.

My first 'real' post of 2016! I am hoping to expand a bit on my icon skills this year by reading tutorials since it has been a really long time since I have taken the time to do so. I am also uploading my icons (for now) here on LJ instead of on Photobucket since they are such a pain about saving images on Firefox. We'll see if I stick to it. I have only ever used Photobucket so it's an adjustment having to copy and paste it all instead of editing the urls from previous posts.

Anyways, I claimed Buffy Summers over at btvsats20in20.

jane948 and I occasionally like to do icon battles (last one was September 2012, wow!) and tonight was one of those times. We each chose a photoshoot image, a screencap/still image, and a stock image of our own photography.

I claimed Lorelai Gilmore over at character20n20.

Notes-
For 'Unpack Your Heart' - I was inspired by the colors and the lyrics Throw all of it out on the floor.
For the category, I tried to crop it creatively. It doesn't look like it, but I did try. Lol.

I claimed Piper & Prue over at charmed20in20 because I wanted to challenge myself to see if I could icon two characters. And boy it was a challenge but that was due to the caps. I am going to need to look up or play around more with coloring because I feel it just falls flat.

For stolen claim I picked Phoebe from the list of sign ups.

I claimed Riley Matthews from Girl Meets World over at character20n20. I know I am WAY too old for the show but I adore the show. I have watched it since the pilot and I highly recommend it. I thought it would be fun to icon Riley as I think she is just way too freaking adorable (and my favorite on the show) & it was someone new to icon.

Overall I am satisfied with this set although I know my cropping needs a bit more variety (my genius self saved all the caps I found in their bigger thumb size instead of the full size of the cap..so it was a bit hard to do creative cropping).

A couple of notes for 'favorite feature'- I could not find a proper cap of her hair in it's glory without people in my way, lol. So I did my best. For 'times three' - I did black & white, levels, and text (I had to do the Feeny call..it's such a good moment!).

Caps are from Kissthemgoodbye.

Enough of my babbling, onto the icons!

I claimed Spike over at character20n20. I struggled over this set (water theme for a vampire..um..lol! I ended up using multiple water photos for that one). In the end, i think they turned out alright. For second choice, I iconned my second choice when I signed up, Frank n Furter from Rocky Horror Picture Show. <3

Note to the mod-for provided texture I used only the one provided just did several lighting settings so just wanted to make sure you knew that.

Heyyyy..it's another icon set from me and it's not been 6 months! ;)

I claimed Piper Halliwell using images just from season 4 at charmed20in20. The favorite episode used was Brain Drain. It is tied with Charmed Again Part 1 for my favorite from that season so I just flipped a coin over which one to use. I also decided to use caps of Piper being her snarky self for the artist's choice icons. :)
