I feel like looking at shapes and what makes a shape recognizable after our last round, so I thought we'd make this round about silhouettes.

This is a free inspirational challenge, you can interpret the theme however you like.

Nice one!I always love seeing silhouette in icons, I feel like it's not used enough anymore and it takes quite a bit of hard work to choose a good one, you know?! Can't wait to see what everyone does!

I feel like it's not used enough anymore and it takes quite a bit of hard work to choose a good one, you know?!

I thought so too! Maybe my collected inspo icons are just too old, lol, but I found easily twice as many as I usually do for a challenge. Or maybe it's just me who likes them a lot when they're done well, so I've collected an above average amount? Who knows? :D

I'm looking forward to what everyone will do, too.

From:

abyss_valkyrie

OOHH!Lovely work in these!I love the use of the characters' silhouettes in each of them. The Yuna, Ashe and Vanille ones are my fave, especially Ashe!

From:

littlemissnovella

Thanks for using one of my icons in the examples!

From:

tinny

You're welcome! <3

From:

tinny

That was fun! I really enjoyed making the silhouettes, but then I couldn't always resist messing them up again with textures or painting over them again. :D

From:

thesleepingbeauty

So many great silhouettes! I especially love the compositions on 2, 3 (The Last Unicorn! <3), 5, 6 and the Rumi alternative. ♥️

From:

tinny

Oi, actually I think I liked the wrong Rumi for the alt. I meant to link this one:

Thank you so much! <3

From:

thesleepingbeauty

Yes, I think that one is the best icon in your set. (I would switch it out and make the other one the alternative instead. 😉) Will definitely be saving it for future use. ♥️

From:

breyzyyin

Oh, this set of silhouettes is stunning! I love the overall composition and lighting/shading effects on display throughout the set. ♥

From:

tinny

Thank you so much! <3

From:

abyss_valkyrie

These are so cool!I love how you played with the composition in these!The rain, the text, the colours in the K-pop demon hunter ones!1,4,8 and 10 also look great!

From:

This set is incredibly gorgeous! ♥

From:

thesleepingbeauty

Aww, thank you! ♥

From:

tinny

Beautiful! I especially like the text inside the silhouettes in the Beauty and the Beast icon, that's an incredibly creative idea! I also really like #4, #5, and the whole third row.

From:

thesleepingbeauty

Thank you so much! ♥

From:

abyss_valkyrie

Okay, these are absolutely amazing! I love the choices-iconic and recognizable instatntly! The Barbie ones make me wish I was younger and could put up these as art in my room. :D
