Hey, long time no see~ Looks like my energy and motivation are slowly coming back 🥰 It's one of my goals for this year to properly get into this again, making icons and participating in icon communities (submitting, commenting, and voting).

It's not much, but here are the icons I've been sharing around this couple of months:

Made for the 43rd round of ic_animated

I had to ask for an extension for this because life has been kicking my ass lately but I really wanted to, not only participate in this round, but make all 25 icons. Valentine's day season is one of my fave times of the year 🥺💖 This was my first time doing one of these bingo challenges (?) too, and it was fun even tho I struggled a lot with some of the prompts.

Friends to lovers, of all things, was the hardest lol. I got an idea for it almost as soon as I saw the prompt, but couldn't make that work in the end ;; Then I thought of this manga, and I'm not sure if these guys' relationship really fits there (it's been years since I read it) but well, I'm almost out of time so it'll have to do.

I also struggled for a while with "blending" because, as silly as it sounds, I wasn't sure I was understanding what "blending" meant here? lol Hope I got it right in the end.

Small preview because this is going to get a bit long.

Made for the 142nd round, Pumpkin Patch 2



Color challenges are my favorite. I love when I have to stick to a particular color or color palette. It's especially fun when they're colors I usually don't think of using. I also really enjoy trying colors different to the canon ones in a character. It's like those RPG card games (?) where cards evolve and the illustration is the same but the colors change? I've always liked that kind of thing a lot.

Made for the 143rd round, Mysterious & Spooky



Another round I wasn't sure I was going to join. I didn't have a lot of time those weeks for this, and I wasn't feeling inspired either. But I'm a big fan of spooky stuff and I didn't want to sit this one out, so I forced myself to come up with some icons, even if they weren't as elaborate or creative (???) as I usually try to make them, and maybe that's for the best lol.

Made for the 10th round of fandom_itest 



This challenge was one headache after another lol. First time making icons of live action media and it was such a struggle. I kept getting ideas I liked but I feel I couldn't do justice to any of them, it was all pretty frustrating. However, while I wish I could have done better, I don't actually hate these..? 🤷‍♀️

Icon 3 won best composition which was kinda funny considering I almost didn't submit it

Made for the 139th round of iconthat




Icon I was going to submit at first but then noticed that adult content is not allowed in this community. It's not anything super explicit, but it's a bit suggestive I guess? I don't know, I'm pretty bad at these things but better safe than sorry.
