#56 - how to get away with ... battling scoobyatemysnax.

[shameless666.livejournal.com]

It's time for the second battle for the year, yay. The idea came up more than 2 months ago but it took me so long to finish my set. I want to thank the awesome/amazeballs talented scoobyatemysnax for suggesting the battle and for being so patient with my slow icon making this year and once more for giving me one more reason to icon my favourite new show this year - How To Get Away With Murder. Every one of us choose 5 caps and 5 tropes, so that makes 40 icons total (but there are also some alts/rejects of course). The caps and the tropes are above each icon, so l think I should stop talking and take you to the icons.

holy crap, these are all so gorgeous! You both did an amazing job! ♥

[footballlover10.livejournal.com]

Wow, this is a REALLY pretty post!!! I may have to snag some of these. They are just too pretty not to. Awesome job to you both!!! :D

[absolutelybatty.livejournal.com]

WOW. STARS IN MY EYES. WHAT A GORGEOUS POST!!!
You guys both did incredible!! I am in awe, tbh. So many good choices, lovely text work, stupendous coloring, wonderful compositions, and frankly, I am just in love.

I'm just going to focus on your set in this comment as I'm sure scooby will put them up in a separate post later.

Your text work is absolutely on point in this battle, honestly. It's killer, pun intended! ;) #4 is fabulous, and I love that you picked that phrase but then made the icon bright pink! It's wonderful! #12 is flawless as well. I wondered when we'd be seeing that icon as I think you've had it in your user pics? Anyway, it is lovely, and the coloring really pops as well! #33 and #35 are also incredible! I love your font choices, your use of space, everything!

And your coloring is amazing as well particularly in #34. You always manage to get this incredible matte look with your icons while still creating this richness and depth in your vibrancy. It's amazing! #11 is beautiful as well. I love the little pop of pink in her lips. It plays off the blue nicely!! And then i ADORE #3; purple is my favorite! <3 (I don't supposed there's a textless version, is there???) The background work is STUNNING.

Fabulous job! I'll be snagging pretty much everything! <3

[geckoholic]

Gorgeous work, both of you!!

[danseur-lion.livejournal.com]

OMG these are amazing!!! <3 i love all icons!!
I love, mostly of all, the contrast effect of the works of you two: shameless used vivid and neon colors and scooby used more pale and vintage colors ♥
my faves are:
#1, #3, #4, #5, #6, #11, #12, #14, #15, #19, #20, #22, #24, #26 #27, #28, #33, #34 and #36

can you tell me please the fonts you used in shameless666's #1, #3, #4, #12, #15 and #5 of rejects? I don't think I have seen them before :3

[burntheflaws.livejournal.com]

I feel like my interest has grown and waned several times while watching HTGAWM, but it's really good at the moment, and there aren't nearly enough icons of this show out there. You guys did a great job! All the colors make me very happy. Will be saving a ton.

To dive into specifics... Love the text work and coloring in 1. The lighting and coloring in 5 and 15 work really well. I like the bright, vibrant coloring of 12. 25 is also pretty spectacular with that lighting, and while I don't really like Wes/Rebecca, 32 is gorgeously lit (gives off a whole sexy, mysterious vibe) and colored. 34 is amazing as well, and I like the alt as well with those complementary colors.

[luminousdaze]

Those are so fun & fabulous! My faves are all the ones of Annalise and #12, #33, #29 & #19.

[sucksucksmile.livejournal.com]

SO MANY GORGEOUS ICONS!
i've snagged a ton!

[begok.livejournal.com]

Great job!!! Love all the icons.

Congrats to you both.

[blighted-star.livejournal.com]

oh wow! you both did a great job. I love all the negative space and you're a master of text.

[woodenshores.livejournal.com]

I don't watch HTGAWM but I wish I did just so I could use one of those! They're gorgeous! The choice of colouring, text and/or texture is on point!

[delacourtings.livejournal.com]

These are all so breathtakingly gorgeous, I don't even know where to begin! You both did such an amazing job!

I'm always so awed by your coloring work and here I am again with my mouth hanging open at how absolutely beautiful these all are. The vibrancy of 1, 12, & 33 is amazing! Even the darker icons, like 11&15, are still so vibrant! And speaking of 15, oh my god, I think I'm in love?? The cropping, the coloring, the text, everything is just flawless.

And I adore off with his head, as well, the cropping and the coloring are so beautiful and oh, who am I kidding? I adore all of them. SUCH a gorgeous batch!♥

[fly-meaway.livejournal.com]

Wow. What an absolutely gorgeous post. So many amazing icons that I honestly don't even know where to start to point out my favourites. It's so hard to find good quality HTGAWM icons on livejournal and now I suddenly have so many saved. Just honestly- absolutely amazing. Great colouring too. Like for instance in "the future is noir"- looove the intensity of that colouring and how you capture such a mood with or without the text. The cropping in "off with his head" is also amazing, wow.

1, 3 and 4 are amazing. The use of text is just astounding and it works so well without distracting from the character. And the colouring is just amazing. Especially for that Michaela icon. Wow. Also amazing colouring and texture use in 11 and 22. Gorgeous. Thank you for sharing these pretty icons!

[babyara.livejournal.com]

All these icons are amazing *_*
I took #15, #19, #24 & #28 and I'll credit when I'll use.
Thanks for sharing all these beauty ♥

съжелявам за късната реакция, но идвам да кажа че поста е страхотен и сте свършили невероятна работа!!!

[надявам се е ок ако пейстначаст коментара си от поста на scoobyatemysnax :) просто искам да сме както се казва автентични :Р ]

shameless666 обожавам как работиш с текст (това ще го открадна, съжелявам-не-съжалявам :Р ) и кадри на цяло тяло и прзно пространство и разбира се няма как да не отбележа наситените ярки цветове. От твоите кадри най-много ми харесват първата и четвъртата иконка. От следващите първата и четвъртата, мамка му тези цветове са страхотни и текста, да не забравяме текста!! От темите най-много ми допада драматизма на wham shot и white void room!!!
