Here are my icons for icons10in20. I hadn't made Yu-na icons in quite a while, so I decided icon her for this round.

I actually finished my set relatively early, lol! ^^

I feel like I might have commented something a bit like this to an icon post of yours before, but even if I have it definitely bears repeating—you make the most tremendous icons, and I'm always so inspired by your work! Everything from the lighting to the composition to the seemingly effortless text usage, you bring everything together so seamlessly and I'm always so excited when I see that you've posted somewhere! I am in love with what you do!

But hahaha, enough of that, let's be specific with these submissions. Your duo&texture icon looks great, it's almost hard to explain what I like about it except that it's just so natural looking? Like... it doesn't look laboured at all, like you weren't ever struggling to fulfill a brief or anything like that. That's true for a lot of these icons actually, everything just looks so well actualised and never like anything was a struggle. Repeat and turquoise both feel like more strong examples of what I mean. I think turquoise is my overall favourite out of this batch actually, such awesome texture and text use, and the colour has been implemented so well! Great great work all round!

Wow! Thank you for your lovely comments! I definitely appreciate the thought you put into it as I rarely get such thoughtful feedback! *blushes*

It's funny that you would comment on the text, lighting, and use of textures because I always used to struggle with them. I've really been trying to improve my composition and color matching, so it takes me quite a while to match up the textures. I go through a bunch before I find the right ones!

Duo+texture was the easiest of the three you mentioned just because I cut them out of their original background and picked three or four textures that I thought would go well. Once I found the perfect texture, I did my coloring and sharpening.

For repeat, I actually started with my alternate but didn't quite like how it turned out. I think I tried out a couple of other images before I went with the pink outfit and came up with the upside down composition. I tried to add text, but it didn't end up working.

It's funny that you mention turquoise as being natural-looking. It's actually quite complex, lol! ^^ I can't remember if her dress was even turquose, I think it might have been blue or white if I remember right, and I think there are at least two different textures in the background, and I added the turquoise text and the rose to her hair! ^^ So I'm glad that you found the icon to be very natural and harmonious!

Lovely icons! I love duo + texture, into your eyes and text overlay. In the alts, I love the close crop!
