Incredible icons! The kitty ones are so cute, and the sixth icon is absolutely stunning. This is an amazing batch of icons all around. ♥

[breyzyyin]

These are great icons: I love the coloring and lighting for all of them. The alts are phenomenal too. ♥

[breyzyyin]

Thank you so much! ♥

[breyzyyin]

Thank you: I had a blast creating this icon set. ♥

Thank you so much! ♥

[thesleepingbeauty]

Thank you so much! :) <3

[thesleepingbeauty]

Great set! I especially like the textures + compositions on 5 and 7. :)

[fallleaves]

Thank you. :)

[fallleaves]

Don't know who this is. But love the colorings. Wish I could figure out coloring like those.

[fallleaves]

Lovely icons. I like 1, 2, 3 and 5.

[fallleaves]

Thank you. :) These textures where fun to use. I almost scratched that idea and started over, but then found screencaps that worked with it and said what the heck and kept it lol.

[tinny]

Thank you!

[tinny]

Thank you! <3

I'm happy with how 5 turned out, grungy textures in front of the face are always... hard. Hit and miss. :D

I'm not happy with the coloring on 7 at all, but I wanted to keep to the dark tones of the palette so I darkened his skin tone and... ugh. Ah, well.

[tinny]

Thank you!

Don't know who this is.
That's why I put the names of the fandoms below the icons, so you can look them up if you like.

If you want to experiment with coloring, this is gradient map coloring, and I wrote a tutorial on that here (six years ago omg) :

Although that is an advanced tutorial and requires Photoshop.

If you want a more detailed coloring guide and fewer Photoshop specifics, how about this one:

Feel free to ask things like this in this comm, that's what it's about around here. The monthly challenges are just the cherry on top. :)

Welcome.
Thank you for the links. I got Corel Paint Shop Pro Photo X2, had it for years and just barley learned it had the sharpen tool lol.

Thanks, will do. :)

[thesleepingbeauty]

Thank you so much. :)

Can I ask which fandom is 7 from? I love the haunting composition of it! Love the close cropping in 1- 5 and the coomposition in 7, 8, and 10!

[littlemissnovella]

I love the texture use in the set! I love 3, 5, 6, and 8!

[littlemissnovella]

Stunning compositions in this set! 1 is so cute! Love the text work in 2 and the composition and coloring in 5 and 6!

[littlemissnovella]

Love the composition, coloring and lighting in this! I love 2, 3, 5, 7, and alt 1!

[fallleaves]

Thank you. I always hate my font, but think I finally found some that look good on icons. :) These were awesome textures.

What We Do in the Shadows (TV Series)

The prompts I used are a vampire character & the texture by mm3butterfly.

Aww, the kitten ones are cute! 😸
