Guardian icons!

[extrapenguin]

Guardian icon post, with Shen Weis, Zhao Yunlans, and Ye Zuns! Taken from episodes 12, 22, 39, and 40. I experimented with different sorts of cropping for this one; some icons are available in multiple compositions. Including the variants, there are 24 Shen Weis, 20 Ye Zuns, and 8 Zhao Yunlans. Two have been featured before.

Shen Wei

1-5
6-9
10-12
13-16
17-20
21-24

Ye Zun

1-3
4-6
7-9
10-12
13-16
17-20

Zhao Yunlan

1-4
5-8


One thing I'd like to see is meta on icon composition, and how different cropping can produce an entirely different feel to the resultant scene, so, if you want to talk about that, please do! I don't think I have any post starter comments for that discussion, though, beyond the examples in iconization. And thank you for bearing with my formatting editing; have a yoga instructor Ye Zun as compensation.

Interesting question: If you swallow and digest yourself 16 times, what will happen when you collapse back into one? ;-)

I suspect the Shen Weis might get very snippy and passive-aggressive with each other after a while. There just aren't enough Zhao Yunlans to go around! Under those conditions, even the best and most strictly regulated schedule will struggle...

Heee, yes. Nothing can keep a Zhao Yunlan from touching the Hallows. Not even 24 Shen Weis. ;-) (Solo and I dubbed the man Hallows Boy when we were watching the series for the first time - seriously, the man just cannot keep his mitts off those potentially lethal artifacts!)

:D This is hilarious! Ye Zun acquires all of his own powers 16 times? Perhaps he becomes better at digesting people?

The Shen Weis would definitely get very snippy and passive-aggressive, commenting on anything seen as not obeying the schedule, even if the delay was of seconds. The Zhao Yunlans would definitely want to fix the mess. Darn, now I want this in a fic! Sigh.
