The Walking Dead for 20muses

20 (+ 16 alts) The Walking Dead for Challenge 04 - Keep It Simple at 20muses

If this was a Friends episode, it would be titled "The One With All The Alts"! I am apparently not very good at making simple icons. Most of these started out as the alts and then I had to simplify them! I kept wanting to add more brushes, text and textures and it was hard to restrain myself. :X
I'm still not sure if they're all simple enough, so please let me know.
I like the more complex versions of these better tbh, but maybe you disagree! :D
Anywho, hope you'll all find something to your liking!

Fuuuuuck, I love every icon! I had to save everything, even the alts!
Wow, I love the colors, they're all amazing! I was going to pick some favs but I just can't decide!
Really, I keep staring at this post and I'm speechless. Wow.

[apologizeg]

Woah, thank you so much! You're too kind <3

[lancelotfan.livejournal.com]

These are gorgeous!! I think you did a great job at making them simple!
I really like 1,6,10 and 19! :)

I'm usually good at making simple but I've been so focused on making complex
I struggled a bit.

[apologizeg]

Thank you :3

It's hard, isn't it?

[powerblackout.livejournal.com]

Holy shit these are gorgeous! I chose TWD too and now I want to put them in the trash. lol. I have to take a lot of these, the coloring is outstanding! <3

[apologizeg]

Aw, don't say that! Thank you very much!

[violateraindrop]

I usually love your complex icons and text use, but on these more simple icons the colors stand out beautifully <3
The negative space is amazing, especially on 6 and 10. I also love 14 and 17 :)

[apologizeg]

Thank you! I'm really glad to hear that :D

[nightbulbs]

That is one gorgeous set, wow!!

[apologizeg]

Thank you :)

[angelamaria.livejournal.com]

This is all kinds of amazing! I just love the striking colors you've used, and like you I do all kinds of love the more complex icons, but you've done a great job simplifying them for the set and they really do work as they are, too!

[apologizeg]

Thank you ^_^

Fantastic colors and dramatic lighting/shadows in these! Great contrast in 4 and 11, they almost look like drawings instead of screencaps. I really like the sepia, almost grayscale tones and texture use in 5. Great minimalism and gradient use in 13; it's so soft yet lovely. I love the minimalism in 14 as well. That one simple brush adds a lot, but it's still so nicely contained and draws all focus to her. Finally, I love the colors, lighting and stock use in 19.

[apologizeg]

Thank you very much :3

[second-love.livejournal.com]

LOVE you vibrant coloring in these!♥
yellow coloring and original bg in 1 is fantastic, like brush use in 8 and purple coloring in 8, shadows and crop in 9 is amazing, also love vintage look in 11neg.space in14 and pink coloring in 19.
From alts love 2430,32 and 36

[apologizeg]

Wow, thank you so much!
That is actually a texture background in the first one. :D

[spirits-rise.livejournal.com]

The whole set is awesome! I love the colours, the crops, the compositions, they're perfection!

[apologizeg]

Aw, thank yo so much :3

[alfiri.livejournal.com]

Wow, this set is amazing! Your creativity has me in awe! ♥
I especially love 6, 19 and 36 :D

[apologizeg]

Thank you very much! <3

These are great! I really love your creative coloring, especially on 3, 18, 20 and 16.

[apologizeg]

Thank you! :)

These are stunning. 11 and 25 are absolutely spectacular.

[apologizeg]

Thank you! :)

[haebin.livejournal.com]

Snagged a lot of the Icons, thank you very much. :)

[apologizeg]

Yay, thank you!

[tturners.livejournal.com]

Colours and lighting in this set are so daramatic, I can't even express how much I love the icons.
The crops in #2, #4, #7, #9, #12, and #15 are magnificent. I also love the distant ones, especially in
#6, #10, #13, #18 and #20. The compositions in #5, #14, #16 and #18 are stunning (and I'm definitely saving
those Michonne icons). Also, your alternatives are marvellous! Especially #22, #23, #28, #29 and #33. :D

[apologizeg]

Wow, thank you so much for the lovely comment <3

It's weird how you make simple icons somehow look complex. LOVE LOVE LOVE the coloring in 1. I really gotta check out some of your gorgeous PSDs and see how you do amazing stuff like that. 6 is just immaculate. It's seriously so clean and soft and has amazing contrast and sharpening. The shine in 7 just stuns and kills me. I love how the green is so hazy yet vibrant at the same time! I don't know what to say about 14 other than that it's FUCKING COOL. I just love it. It really walks the line between muted and vibrant, which is so wonderfully strange. 16 is so gorgeously quirky. I love that the simple notion of flipping the image upside down makes the neg space look so different, and the outlining is a nice, subtle touch, as well! The blue/pink combo in 19 is like O___O. The crop in 22 is way too much for me. So perfect. Your alts here are truly amazing! 27 has totally different colors than the entry version, and it's so dramatic and effective cuz of that. It's got such commanding, intense tones! 33 is fucking insanely beautiful. I love the scenery there, which makes it the opposite of your entry, which was super clean and straightforward! PHENOMENAL WORK, IDA. <333

[apologizeg]

Oh my goodness, thank you so much! :O

[erinm-4600.livejournal.com]

The bright/warm colors are fantastic (for such a dark subject :D) I especially like the colors on 26

[apologizeg]

I hadn't thought about it like that! :P Thank you!

[streetcatx.livejournal.com]

Such interesting colors. I love 6, 7, 14 and 18. :)

[apologizeg]

Thank you :)

[bastii.livejournal.com]

[apologizeg]

Thank you very much :>

[rizbef.livejournal.com]

I am in love with the composition and coloring of 18! The lighting on 9 and 17 - amazing~~
I also like 26 :D

[apologizeg]

Thank you :3

[delacours.livejournal.com]

These are absolutely amazing as always, I literally have no idea how you manage these crops and colors! :D
1, 3, 6, 7, 15, 19 and 33 are absolutely divine, I love the coloring so much (no seriously, how do you do it) and I love your crops on 4 and 15! :)

[apologizeg]

Wow, thank you so much! <3

[marcasite.livejournal.com]

What do you mean you are not good at simple icons? I love each and every one of these. I love the way that I can look at these icons and even though they are simplier than normal, they are still very you. I mean 18 and 19? SO YOU! That texture work and lovely styling. I love the crops in 1, 4, and 9 so much just killer! Pretty!

[apologizeg]

Ahah, thank you very much :3
