those are very atmospheric! i immediately thought of fire and ice seeing them beside each other like that!

i completely understand about aos! i've only made one aos icon and i had to make it black and white because i just could not get the colors right.

older shows are so hard to icon! i'm always amazed when i see people make beautiful x files or btvs icons. how do they do it??

Thank you!! :)

Haha, I ended up with a few b&w AoS icons for that reason as well. I think being completely uninspired also played a part, I should try again.

Ikr? With older show, I've found gradient maps really help. If the cap looks "flattened", it looks less pixelated and LQ. But it doesn't always work for me...
