20inspirations.Tbh I'm not sure what these icons are, I really like some of them and then others are just, I don't even know. :P
Also, can you believe this year it's been 10 years since Lost started? o_O

Date: 2014-06-10 08:47 pm (UTC)1 is gorgeousness, and so fitting for Lost what with the question marks, lol! the texture use is stunning and it's cyan/yellow and I love that combo, plus Ben looks so cute with those glasses, so basically 1 = the most perfect icon ever ♥
The texture effect in 3 is fascinating and so artistic, I keep staring at it in awe. 6 makes me totally envious cause I'd love to master that icon style and you made it look so easy :O Loooove the vintageyness (is that a word?). the composition and color combination are so fun and the text is perfect for Hurley :D
Omg how much Ben is there in this set, 5 and 12 make me so happy too, love the crazy composition on 5 and 12 is so creative with the close crop and space texture, it kinda gives me a feeling of an entire universe happening inside Ben's head, and it's just really fascinating. The crop on 13 is SO pretty, and I looove the blend/texture stuff on 15. Gorgeous neon colors in 17, and WOW at 18, it's flawless, looove how the colors you picked for the images match the stock bg. and the composition is so creative.
AMAZING WORK, I'M IN LOVE WITH THIS SET and I'm always so thrilled when people icon Lost and Ben but I gotta say I'm extra thrilled that it was you who claimed this, i knew it would lead to stellar icons :> and I reeeaally appreciate the character range, some of these characters are really hard to find icons of.

Date: 2014-06-11 07:26 pm (UTC)And are you kidding me about 6, seriously I was looking at your latest icon post yesterday and saw this icon and thought "damn it, now that Hurley icon I made looks like crap in comparison to that". :P
Btw, can I ask how you make the text "running" pop like that? I keep trying to e.g. duplicate the text and put the first one in a darker color and slightly to the side and down, but it just ends up looking silly and crowded. :/
I tried to icon may different characters, but there are still so many more uuggh. Sayid, Claire, Jin, Richard, Charlie +++ :P

Date: 2014-06-11 07:33 pm (UTC)I was rather insecure about 3, because it looks like he's a character from Avatar or something. But I guess it fits the theme, lol. :P
In 4 I actually painted on top of the subjects, so I'm not really sure if you can call it a cut-out. Maybe the opposite? Ahah, but thanks :D

Date: 2014-06-11 09:28 pm (UTC)20 is probably my least favorite, I worked on it forever and could just not get it to look right. But I'm really glad you like it! :D

Date: 2014-06-11 05:49 am (UTC)Okay. I'm going to try and gather myself together to say some things about individual icons. Here we go.
One is totally perfect. The color combination is so strangely fascinating and perfect. And the use of textures in the foreground and in the background is done so well so that everything works together harmoniously. And yet it still has that layered strangeness about it. AND THE QUESTION MARKS ARE GREAT. So that's perfect. And then two! I've been excited about two since you posted it in the talk post. IT IS JUST SO PERFECT. The coloring is insanely creamy--yes, I said creamy--and the depth those sort of...paint-in-water textures/brushes add to the whole thing just makes it even better. And the close up is so weird and perFECT again. I think I am going to be saying perfect a lot and I'm sorry. Anyway, LOVE two. And three is so insane. I love the contrasting monochrome again, and the texture layered over top of the character works so well AND IT SHOULDN'T SO WHAT KIND OF MAGIC HAVE YOU USED???? And then four is also amazing, wow. The cutout/silhouette (AND THEY ARE ORANGE WHICH IS SO GREAT AND UNIQUE) is perfect (you are so good at this minimalist style), and I love your choice of a busier texture behind it as well. Again, kind of unique and unexpected choice for that style of icon, and yet it works so incredibly well because of the color combo.
AND THEN 06 IS JUST AMAZING. I love that retro style; it makes me so happy. And the quote is hilarious and awesome. And the color combo is, again, inspired. Actually, I'm just going to take a time out here to give a blanket statement: your color choices in this entire set are SPOT ON amazing, unique, fun, and slightly weird in that perfect, down-the-rabbit-hole way.
AND THEN 07 WHICH IS MY ABSOLUTE FAVORITE. I JUST. WOW. It looks like it should be Game of Thrones or some other equally fantastic type medium, and yet it is Lost??? What even is that. MAGIC, I TELL YOU. The texture use, the soft, dreamlike lighting, and the coloring are all amazing. It is everything I love in an icon and more and I just. I am so in love.
Okay, and then I love how sharp and grainy 10 is; it adds so much emotional depth to the icon, and I don't even have any idea what's going on so. It's great!! And, in a similar vein, I adore the blurry, out of focus style of 16. It is super great.
AND THEN 12 AND 14, WOW. THEY ARE MAGNIFICENT. I love love love the shiny, chipped looking textures over their faces, and I don't usually like that, but here I love it so much that my sentence has become a run on so there's that. 12 is especially great because, again, color combinations so. WOW. It is a bit like outer space on a man's face which is trippy and awesome.
And then 13 is just so great with the unexpected cropping which is awesome. And I love the green, vintage type coloring as well. And, again going from one extreme to another, 18 is just so great. It is cluttered and strange and brilliant. I love it.
tl;dr I KNOW WHAT THESE ARE. THESE ARE AWESOME. <3

And jsyk OUAT is produced by former Lost writers (there are also a bunch of actors who were in both). :P

Date: 2014-06-11 08:57 pm (UTC)so like my ABSOLUTE fave is 1, but I also really love the colouring in 7, the crop in 14 and the really interesting composition of 18. This is a super cool looking set!
