50 Guardian icons, episodes 1-5!

[extrapenguin]

So, the icon battle left me with the urge to make some more icons, but I didn't want to go to the next phase just yet, so I set my own mini-challenge: 10 icons per episode, starting from episode 1! Here are the icons from episodes 1 to 5, 50 in total. I made them roughly in order, and continued going with each episode until I had 10. Some of them are variants of each other, but there are multiple icons of each SID team member, Shen Wei, the Envoy, and some group/team ones, so I hope you can find something sufficiently pretty to stare at! If you want to use one, I'd be super honored; just leave a comment here.

The icons:
1-10 (episode 1)



11-20 (episode 2)



21-30 (episode 3)



31-40 (episode 4)



41-50 (episode 5)

Definitely swiping a few of these! The colours/textures are really interesting. I love the ones with Shen Wei's red mouth.

The episode 5 one of Shen Wei walking with the glittering lights cracks me up a bit - it's adorably sparkly! Princess Glitter Shen Wei! (It's pretty!!)

♥ I'm super thrilled that people like my icons!

Shen Wei's red mouth truly is something to behold. The glittery ep 5 one has the textures called "Winter Sky", and this one looks like he's directing the weather, so please imagine Shen Wei singing about the cold never bothering him anyway. :P (He *could* stand to Let It Go in certain respects, surely. Let Zhao Yunlan take him on a vacation!)
