I seem to have re-discovered how much fun it is to icon OUAT

IS IT MY BIRTHDAY OR SOMETHING? THIS IS THE BEST NEWS.
I need to go to bed now so I'll come back and comment in depth on icons tomorrow, but I just had to drop in and express my utter and complete DELIGHT over that statement.

[apologizeg]

Haha, it was actually when I had to make a gift for you in the IAM I realized what a great show to icon it is! :D

[absolutelybatty.livejournal.com]

So it was like a double gift! Huzzah! \o/

I am just so happy to have one of my favorite icon makers making icons for my favorite dumb fandom. It makes me so happy! :D Anyway, onto my thoughts about this post!

Firstly, you must know that I adore my IAM gift! It is super lovely, and I practically jumped out of my chair with glee when I saw it. It is perfect, not just interest wise but coloring wise and composition wise as well. It's truly a gem, and thank you so much for making me such a wonderful gift! You are a star! <3 I am also pretty thrilled with the rest of the Once icons in this set though! I actually saw some of the Elsa ones in john_scopry's user pics a few days ago, and I was like 'WHERE WERE THOSE POSTED? I HAVEN'T SEEN THOSE. WHYYYYY HAVEN'T THESE BEEN IN MY LIFE!!!' So basically I had a bit of a breakdown because HELLO, they are so perfect! I love the first simple close crop of Elsa because the crop is amazing but also because that coloring is so oddly lovely. Love the hints of green that don't overwhelm or give it any sense of "unnaturalness". It's perfectly balanced. I love the two paint-y Elsa ones as well though! Love the magical cloudy bits in 03 and the medley of textures in 05 is just...amazing. I love the thoughtfulness of your texture use in both, and of course, your coloring is also on point. Aaaaaand I've skipped 02 which I didn't mean to because I LOVE it. Love the coloring and the strong blacks and the way she pops out of the background while still looking like part of it. It is just so well done. Gosh. I also LOVE the second close crop of Elsa because DAMN, that crop. You've done it again! And 09 of Regina is super pretty as well. I can't remember if I commented on it when you entered at iitask, but yeah, it is incredible. I love the major contrasty thing you've got going on there. And it is so smooth as well! AND ALL THE CAPTAIN SWAN IS GREAT OBVIOUSLY. I especially love 10 which is just the best crop, and his face is so WONDERFUL. I also think blocking Elsa is amazing; love your creative use of stock textures there! And the blended Captain Swan one is fabulous as well. So yes, please continue to icon Once forever and ever, please and thank you!!!!!

Okay, the rest of the post is super pretty, as per usual, but there are one or two that are just so crazy awesome fantastically good that I should single them out:

22 - ARE YOU KIDDING ME WITH THIS TEXT USE???? JESUS. I had already done up my text inspiration post with icons before you posted this, but if I hadn't, the whole post would have just been this icon because I am so IMPRESSED. The font combos are aces and totally readable which can be difficult on such a small canvas. More than that all your filter work on it is just marvelous! Like seriously, what a stupendous icon. And that is even before I acknowledge how great the crop is or how moody and wonderful the coloring is.

32 - I am so mesmerized by this icon, I swear. I love it so much. The coloring is just flaw free. There is literally nothing I do not like about it, and if I were a fan of Teen Wolf still, I would have it as my default in a heartbeat.

And yeah, just generally a brilliant icon post from you! ♥ & congrats on the more than deserved awards!

[apologizeg]

Wow, thank you so much! Most of the OUAT icons were posted in tmfaction's November activity. :)

[absolutelybatty.livejournal.com]

Aha! That explains it. I'm afraid I can't keep all the multi-maker communities straight these days. There are so many of them now! :D

[neonspider]

Wow, everything here is brilliant. First of all I'm crazy in love with that painting-like textured look in 3 and 5! those are my very favorites here cause wow, they're just stunning and I have no idea how something like that can even be made. Both have spectacular coloring too!

I also adore the muted vintage colors in 1&6, and the crazy vibrant neon colors in 15&16. The text in them is all kinds of incredible too. 17 is definitely right up there with 3&5 in the best icons I've seen lately - what a creative, perfectly executed composition! Looove the concept. I've also loved 20&29 ever since I saw them at elite-inspired, they have this really unique intresting half-muted matte coloring. And then there are icons like 9, 32 & 33 that are just so beautifully vibrant and eye-catching!

Amazing post as always ♥

[apologizeg]

Thank you so much ♥

[neonspider]

I just noticed that i had the wrong number for one icon - the praise I wrote for 17 was actually about 19 :D 17 is super cool too though!

[apologizeg]

Ahah, I was wondering. Didn't really think 17 was all that creative. :P Thank you, again!

[blighted-star.livejournal.com]

I stopped watching OUAT in mid s3. but I do really like the Elsa icons. And even though I dislike Captain Swan and prefer Hook away from Emma, I'll admit those icons are nice.

[apologizeg]

I haven't watched since season 2 I think. :P Thank you!

[coloursthief.livejournal.com]

I'm not taking any but these are amazing! Really beautiful stuff. It's inspired me to play / experiment around more with PS and the images.

Thanks ^^

[apologizeg]

Oh, that's great to hear! Thank you very much :)

[nightbulbs]

I'm happy to see new OUAT icons from you and to hear that you're enjoying making them :) This show can be so awful at times but it is a lot of fun to icon... *sigh*

#5 is everything! The colouring, the background, the painted style, everything is beautiful. Also really like 1, 3, 7, 9 and the great composition and colours of 6! I'm also crazy in love with 29, the colouring of 33 is so much fun and the rest aren't my fandoms but 14, 23 and 30 stand out!

[apologizeg]

I don't even watch it anymore, but it's still great to icon!

Thank you so much! ^_^

[jokermary.livejournal.com]

These icons are stunning! They are wonderful, I really love your compositions and your use of textures *_*

[apologizeg]

Aww, thank you so much! ♥

[visionsbeyond.livejournal.com]

[haebin.livejournal.com]

Oh my god, The Walking Dead Icons! Snagging all of them, thank you so much!
And all the other Icons are awesome as well, great batch! :)

[apologizeg]

TWD doesn't get enough icon-love! Thank you :)

[haebin.livejournal.com]

TWD doesn't get enough icon-love!

THIS THIS THIS!
I was so happy when I saw them. Now I need people who are making more The Hobbit Icons! After watching the movie I need more Icons of it! O_O

[apologizeg]

I haven't watched The Hobbit unfortunately. It is on my watch list, though!

[violateraindrop]

29 is such a pretty icon, I'm still completely in love with the colors/color scheme. I also really like the colors of 15-17 and the texture use on 26 :)

[apologizeg]

Thank you :3

[ingenu0us.livejournal.com]

These are lovely! I've saved #s 3 and 13, and will be sure to credit. Thank you!

[apologizeg]

Thank you and enjoy!

[gallicka.livejournal.com]

wow just wow. Such a creative batch. I saved alot. XD
My fav are these:


your OUAT icons are a thing of beauty. ♥

[apologizeg]

Tusen takk :)
(You're Danish, right?)

[gallicka.livejournal.com]

OMG! YES!
Jeg vidste ikke du var fra Norge. *g*

I'm going to friend you. Hope you don't mind. :D

[apologizeg]

That's cool :3

[gallicka.livejournal.com]

Det er meget sjældent jeg finder en skandinavien her. XD It's to be treasured!

btw do you take any tut request? I'm kinda interested in your texture use. O.O

[apologizeg]

Jeg vet egentlig bare om deg, meg, vetica og spankulert. Det pleide å være en del svensker her, men de har forsvunnet tror jeg. :P (john_scorpy er finsk, men det teller kanskje ikke :P)

Sure, but I do have a PSD post here if you'd like to make a request. :) (I can also explain if things in the psd's don't make sense)

[gallicka.livejournal.com]

ooooh det er mere end jeg kender! XD

*excited dolphin noises* It must be my lucky day...PSD works just fine. *hugs*

[geckoholic]

Ah, these are fantastic. Little paintings, all of them. :D

[apologizeg]

Aww, thank you! ♥

[nyaza.livejournal.com]

These are so amazing and interesting! Specially love your texture use, #5, #6 & #13 are definetely some of my faves of this batch, the texture is amazing (5 is incredible!) and the colours are perfect and just so pretty! and then i absolutely loove #1, the colours there are just so gorgs!

[apologizeg]

Thank you very much ^_^

[neverberoyals.livejournal.com]

Wow! Your icons are so creative and the colorings on them are fantastic. I really love 1, 15, 17, 21, and 31!

[apologizeg]

Thank you, I'm glad you like them :)

[delenaslegacy.livejournal.com]

gorgeous icons :D

[apologizeg]

Thank you!

[fly-meaway.livejournal.com]

Oh wow, such pretty icons! I just have to take 1 even though I'm really not in the show. That icon is stunning. The soft colouring as well as the use of the background is amazing and together it just makes for such a beautiful icon that I can't stop staring at. Also amazing texture use in especially 3, 5, 15 and 30. I love how in every single icon it just adds something and it doesn't distract from the capture, the emotion or reduces the quality. So pretty. I'm also loving 23 and 24. I can't decide which of the two I prefer more, because they both have something, but I love the clarity in the colouring and the use of the text as well as the font choosen. Very pretty. Also beautiful colouring in 25, 26 and 33. Such pretty icons!

[apologizeg]

Oh my, thank you so much for your lovely comment! <3

[littlemissnovel.livejournal.com]

I so love your demon dean in icon 20 <3

You have great icons!

[apologizeg]

Thank you!

[kateheightmeyer.livejournal.com]

WOW! Your Hannibal icons are sooooo perfect! #17 is my fav from the whole batch! The blue colouring and the skull! OMG! Amazing!

[apologizeg]

I'm glad you like! Thank you!
