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)

Ha wonderful! That red Envoy one gives me ALL the AU feels. Or maybe a fairy tale AU with a masked ball? Who will write this?

I also love the Northern lights one, and #35 has such pretty colours!

Hands off my Postgrad and the sparkly Guo Changcheng amde me laugh.

Also, Chu from episode one looks suitably dramatic with that background. :-)

Red is the traditional color for Chinese weddings, sooo... let you imagination run free. I would not at all be opposed to any fantasy AUs with masquerades!

Dixing has no aurorae, so of course Shen Wei would be all pining eyes when he saw them! (In fact, the text on 38 reads 地星没有北极光 very faintly.) They're such pretty colors.

Nothing quite like a bit of motion blur to make a lao-Chu look suitably dramatic! I'm glad some of them made you laugh as well.
