COMPLICATED ROUND WAS COMPLICATED!
But so fun to make! I have to say I was lost when the inspiration post popped up because I'm not really an art junky and I know very little of art and stuff, that's why I told my friend "I'm not gonna do that" but then, if you know me, you know I never actually give up on something and then I went to look for my school art books and I've seen some of Degas paintings. He's one of the one I like the most because he uses such deep but still light colours and some of his paintings are actually very melancholic and his colours went very well with my claim, so that was it. My inspiration for the entire batch was Edgar Degas; I've used his paintings (watch them here) as a reference not only for colours, but also for image-inspiration.

( degas has inspired these... don't think he'd be happy )

No, this time no rants about these; the monochrome were made for this 20in20 on the italian forum and NO, I don't like them. Me and monochrome don't get along well.

This set of icons was PAINFUL. Okay? Season 2 of GOT is almost impossbile to iconize; I mean it's dark, reddish when not completely blue and well. But I love this show so much!
Those icons btw, are made for a 20in20 on an italian forum.
Some of these turned out really well, if I can say so.

( HURRICANE is my obsession )

wandererjulia and I are bestfriends and we love making stuff together, or against eachother, even if, we're not actually fighting because, well, we don't want to fight really. But as soon as she showed me the last magicmachine makers activity I told her that we needed to do something like that because, well, it's fun!
My choice for the album fell between: Evanescence's Evanescence and Florence's Ceremonials; I didn't pick the first because Eva's album has too many Johnlock songs in it (for me) and I didn't want to make another Johnlock batch so Juls told me "Why not Sherlock and Irene? YOURS Irene obviously" and I thought "Well, WHY NOT?!" So here they are!
I have nothing against BBC!Irene, it's just that... Well, I can't stand her. I have some issues with Lara and a comment she made that I didn't like; still, I love ASiB, but my Irene is Ruth Wilson. Enough said.
Icons this way!

Yes, okay, I know.
Lately I've been battling a lot but it's fun and inspiring and it was the perfect occasion for me to (finally) watch the 2009 Sherlock Holmes (and "A game of shadows" obviously) and the sweet morpho90 offered me a FANTASTIC battle on an italian forum!
She set up for me 20themes and I had to make half of my icons on her obession (Lotr) and a subject of my choiche (SH 2009) and she'll do the same with my obsession (BBC SHERLOCK) and a movie she choosed (Thor) with the themes I gave her!
At first I didn't know how to manage my LOTR icons because I've never really iconed it before, but if I can say it myself, it didn't went really bad!
Obviously in the post there are some spared icons I made in the last few days. Nothing actually ~brilliant~ but whatever!

( i want to take you away from all this waisted pain )

I don't know how I managed to make 20 black and white icons. Really, I'm such a colour whore that I thought I would give up at 10! But indeed I didn't and I'm very very proud! Obviously this batch is for 20inspirations and, well, THIS for me was quite hard but still exciting!
BTW, you know how hard is creating a CV when you basically never worked anywhere and you're just a freelancer graphic designer? SAD!.

( we're joined in misery )

HOOORRAAAAY!
Okay; I know what you all are thinking: doesn't she has other fandoms?! People: NO!
I'm not one of those who can fall easily for mountains of tv shows, I just stick with my beloved and icon them forever. Anyway, this batch was ABSOLUTELY one of my favourite to make! I had to work with my mind because you know, I usually blend A LOT and this time there was the "geometry" issue! LOVE! LOVE! LOVE! I hope you like them; as usual feel free to ask if you've questions and leave a comment if you like, I love talking (with this terrible english of mine!)

Okay, let's be honest, I thought she was never going to finish, but surprisingly she managed to! And IN TIME! SO hooooorrray for my beloved Juls.
Things about this battle... Well; we wanted to make something that represents us as friends and what is better than the shows we both loves? Because, to be honest, at least two of these fandoms were hers before mine and she was the one who pushed me into them and I'll never thank her enough for this, especially because she was the one who told me about Sherlock while I was "I DON'T CARE GIVE ME CHOCOLATE" and now my life revolves around Sherlock and Benedict Cumberbatch basically.
So, well, thank you Juls for being one of my bestfriend, for being a great iconmaker and, well, the amazing person you are.
NO PREVIEWS PEOPLE, BUT FANDOMS ARE:
Game of thrones, legend of the seeker, camelot, merlin, doctor who and sherlock (+fem!lock because i like it)

( LET'S GET TO ADVENTURE MODE! )

OH MY DEAR ANDRASTE!
I thought I'd never going to finish these! I wasn't actually sure I wanted to take part to the round because I know what fandoms I'm into and I know that I've already used most of them but somebody told me (in a very kind way, to be honest) that since I've already a style (?!) the round could've been too difficoult for me. And there's nothing more wrong than something like this to say to a maker! So I looked between my fandoms and picked the one I hadn't iconed for a while. Most of these are actually very good for me because they're SO different from me that I'm actually surprised I didn't delete any!
Oh, just because it's me, there's a little junk icons at the bottom, a few icons I made here and there and never got around to post (they're very few!)
