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!

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
