Icon set for Round 15 on Farscape 20in20

[jacquelee]

Here's my icon set for Farscape 20in20 round 15. This is the second icon set I did with PS Elements (I'm still on the trial period for that program but I'll definitely cough up the 100 bucks, I don't think I can live without it anymore ;)), and I really like it.


I know I'm still a total newbie to all of this, so this is very much an experimental set. Just me fiddling around with all the new exciting tools I have now. So feel free to tell me which technique totally doesn't work, I really won't mind and I hope to improve steadily.

Also a big BIG shoutout to john_scorpy who IMO saved this set at the last minute - I was ready to post it, not heading all of his advices but he kept insisting and OMFG!!! This is SO MUCH BETTER!!! So thank you!! :D Next time I'll listen to you the first time around.

Oh wow, I can't even believe how fast you improve with this stuff. Some of these are stunning, like Touch, Category1&3 (really nice fake background cuts there!!), and ACs 1&4. Perfect contrast in all of these. Also you're super lucky with that 23.45 scene, a big awww for that icon!! Also Opposites. The composition of Complex is pretty amazing, and the icon seems to tell a story on its own. Lovely vibrant colors in Emotion and 23.45 and the category!

I really like how you chose to do a really cohesive set with a warm color sceme. I always try to go for unified but never quite hit it because my inspiration keeps bouncing all over the place and I can't kill all my darlings, lol. But really, yours really looks like a set, not just random icons put together, which is great.

If you want I can try to think of something more constructive to say later, but right now I'm just amazed at how well you've done with these :) And besides one of my 20in20s has a deadline tomorrow and I'm only halfway there, ouch. So I'll get back to you about these if you want, but right now all I have for these is LOVE! <3 And thanks for the shoutout, glad you appreciated it! :D

Thank you so much! And I'm so glad you mentioned Complex, I tried to tell the whole story of the episode in one icon, guess that was a little overambitiouos but I still like it. ;)

Knew you would like 23:45. ;)

And well, I didn't really go for a cohesive set, like I said it was more an experimental thing, warm soft colors are just my thing, that kind of lighting and coloring will probably become my style if I ever develop one. :)

You already helped a LOT so thank you for that! And I love that you love these. Hope you managed to get the 20in20 done in time. :)
