Oh wow, extra hard?! I'm so glad that some are actually doing that!! This set is incredible, and it was super interesting to learn more about your style and fandom history!
1 is suuuper pretty, ngl the style you're describing doesn't sound good at all yet this icon is amazing! The toned down contrast and matte coloring works so well in a way that looks inspired by old trends, but completely new. So, perfect for the challnge :) 3 is gorgeous and Intro is great for this type of text! I love the text use here and the purples look so good. The coloring and lighting in 4 are perfection, and I love the heavy shadows and dark vibrancy in 7! Omg I totally hear you on 8, that was definitely a style I also wanted to try but never really got anywhere with it! (and you're right that tturners was the master of it for sure) Fwiw I think you nailed it in this icon, GORGEOUS crop and just the right amount of contrast. The last icon is great too, I love a good grunge icon and the crop is awesome.
Thanks so much for entering, and yeah I really hope the best for your inspiration as well! I've started collecting a mega icon archive of sorts, going through old icons to save the ones I like in advance so that there's a collection of good icons to choose from for inspirations posts in the future, anyway, one thing I noticed during this is that you've been such a consistently active presence in the iconing comunity for all these years and it's awesome. Thanks so much for sharing your journey! <3
