icontalking | Activity #77 Fog

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.

Thank you! I had some Lessons in Chemistry caps on my compouter, and I was so happy to make some icons with them :)

Thank you so much :)

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

Thank you so much. <3

Oh wow, these icons are absolutely stunning! Incredible work on them. ♥

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

Thank you so much!

Thank you so much. I chose images that already have an element of foggy-smoggy atmosphere , so it makes the job easier haha.

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

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

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

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!

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

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!
