Activity #77 Fog

[tinny]

Of course, now that I've finally decided on a properly autumnal challenge theme with Halloween-ish possibilities for those who like them, the sky is a bright blue here and the sun is shining down brightly. Figures. :D

In this round, you should make icons that look foggy - white or grey, faded, or veiled in smoky-looking textures. They can be ghostly or scary or mysterious, or they can simply showcase how beautiful fog can be in nature. They don't have to be monochrome or completely black and white, color is allowed!

This is a free inspirational challenge.

Love these, you have such a good eye for caps with scenery - like 1. In this set I also really like composition on 2 and 5

[breyzyyin]

Incredible icons: I love how the images fit into the fog effects and the cropping for them. ♥

[tinny]

Wow, these are great. The difference to your usually more vibrant color scheme is obvious. I love how these all look vaguely menacing. <3

I tried listing favorites and ended up with all of them, oops. :D So I'll pick out details: the tree texture on the Scumbag ones is so cool, and the text on 7 is brilliant! And I love how the cap on 9 looks like a harmless children's show and you made it look very scary!

This challenge was made for you! Hehe! Love the muted colouring and the image choices too!

[breyzyyin]

These icons are perfect for the challenge! Great job! ♥

[tinny]

Woo, perfect. <3 I love the lighting on the first one especially.

[breyzyyin]

I've never actually used a Fog Effect/Filter before, so this was definitely a learning experience! O_O;

Wow, I'm excited to see that you tackled this challenge! And you did great! I hope you found something worth keeping in your skill set from this experience! <3

I especially love 4 (I love how you enhanced the light source(s) with the fog)! 5 and 6 look very atmospheric due to the fog effect - like they're hiding for the night to pass or something. I love it. I really like how the effect comes out on 7 as well, giving the relatively uniformly-colored image depth and, well, texture. :D And then I love 9, because it reminds me of Xiaoge from the DMBJ franchise. :D The fog could either be his breath or the cloudy night - it looks great in any case!

[abyss_valkyrie]

WOW!Nice way to keep the colours and make these foggy!I love 1 and 2,so perfect!

4 and 6 came out amazing.I really like 7 and 9!

[magicrubbish]

I love how you did this challenge without losing your usual icon style , all of them look amazing, but I particularly love the color , grungy feel and crop of 5, 6 , 7 and 9.

Gorgeous set! I love the ethereal quality to 2, and your text use in 4 is fantastic. ♥

[abyss_valkyrie]

I love the veil and how it adds that foggy look!

[tinny]

Wow, that's a really cool veil texture! I especially like 1 and 3.

Great set! I love the mysterious vibe in 1 and 5, and there's this fantastical quality to number 4 that's really captivating. ♥

Lovely coloring in all of these! <3

I especially like 1, 3 and 4.

This was a lot harder than I thought it would be. But I had fun experimenting.

Deadlines in this comm are soft. You're totally fine!

I love the contrast in this set - the close and far crop, the b/w against the blue. Awesome.
