20 (+alts) Lost icons for the Text round at 20inspirations.
Text text text, omg text! I've never ever considered myself good with text, so this was quite a challenge!
I do really like how some of these came out, others not so much. But I hope you'll all find something you like. :)

I think you can call this challenge knocked out of the park because these are incredibly well done and so beautiful. Seriously! I have so many favorites!

04 is just amazing coloring wise. Love how you've masterfully removed the background there, and the contrast between the blues and greens are amazing. The light work is spot on as well. And, oh my god, teach me how to use those kinds of fonts! Ah! The text is aces! I love that you went with a sharper font choice, something with points and corners. It really suits the quote you've chosen. 05 is equally as amazing. The coloring here is...out of this world, truly. I have color envy! Really lovely balance between natural skins tones and then vibrant background. It looks so smooth! 09 is gorgeous as well. I love the lighter color scheme here; it's very delicate and refined, I think. Makes her look all the more breakable. And I like that you've gone for smaller, unreadable text here as well. Really pretty overall. And then 19 is really wonderful too. I like the use of text covering the subject here. It works really well. Like he can only ever be the sum of the text. Very cool concept. And it doesn't hurt that the coloring of the subject, even though he serves as merely background noise to the text, is really gorgeous.

Really fabulous job, bb! ♥

Wow! Thank you so much, really!
And about the text in 4, Idk what I do. :P I just set the tracking to 200 and use the sharp anti-aliasing. (The font is Orator Std, btw, I think it's one of the defaults?)
