icontalking | Activity #92

Music is good for the soul... and I love making song sets. Since we haven't had this activity in five years, lets try our hand at it again!

A song set consists of icons with the lyrics of one song. Lyrics should be continuous within the song from one icon to the next.

example set by

breyzyyin: ("Don't Say A Word" by Ellie Goulding)

example set by

thisbluespirit: ("What About Everything?" by Carbon Leaf)

We have a ton more examples from previous activities. Check them out here:

Rules:

* Every icon should contain at least one word.
* If you can't make a part of the lyrics work:
** not all words have to be readable!
** you can leave out short connecting words (like "and", "that",...)
* You can choose any song, or more than one song if you make more than one set.
* If you want to leave out parts of the lyrics, just make separate sets.

* There is a minimum of 2 icons: the smallest set is a set of two.
* You can make as many icons (and as many sets) as you like.
* Please link the song lyrics, and/or put the parts you used of them in your comment with your icons

* Please submit your icons (and URLs!) to this post, all in one comment (if possible).
* Everyone can participate, you don't have to be a member of this community.
* I will collect all the icons from the comments and make a result post
* Everyone can leave comments on the inspiration and activity result posts
* There is no voting

Aw, thanks for using my set! That one was fun. <3

\o/

( sorry I only used half of it so it fit the other one. )

Aww, I remember that sample set! Thanks for using it! ♥ I'm totally using another Marvel fandom this time because the artwork in Storm is so pretty (and I fangirl the women of the X-Men!). XD

Song: "Intuition" by salem ilese

Lyrics Used: "If you're going down, it's all alone. / I won't be around to see the smoke. / Your words fall to the ground, they're just a joke. / But nobody's laughin', nobody's laughin'. / I only listen to my intuition."

you're welcome!

Wow, your progress between this set and the one from five years ago is extraordinary. The sharpness, composition, and especially the complex textwork are all excellent!

What a gorgeous set, yay women of the x-men!

♥

Aw, thank you so much! I've been practicing with textwork in particular, so I'm glad to hear that it looks better now. I'm thrilled you enjoy the set so much, the women of the X-Men are all awesome! :D

Such cool use of text style in this set! I love the second and 4th icons!

Thank you so much! ♥

These are all stunning!

Thank you! ♥
