Icon post: Guardian icon battle pt 4, misc others

[extrapenguin]

I actually did the final battle icons a while ago, but since I'm home with the flu and trying not to be bored to death, i decided it was time for an icon post.


10 icons, 6 alts, 3 other icons.

Alts:
36 , 38 , 40

All textures from sparklingeye (at tropicalsundae, sparkling-eye), save one from 37 (by lookslikerain) and the alt-36 (by jordannamorgan). The final selective coloring one has textures from azuremonkey.
"I have loved the stars too fondly to be fearful of the night" by Sarah Williams; "The Old Astronomer"
"生同一個衾 死同一個槨" from 我儂詞 by 管道昇 Guan Daosheng (translates to: "In life we share a single quilt, In death we share a single coffin.")

I was downloading fonts and the moment I saw Potra, I got the idea for 34. Then I started with 37, which I had a cool screencap for, and after spending way too much time with textures, discovered that the star texture went pretty nicely – and decided to make the entire thing space-themed. Thus I edited the 36 and 40 I already had to be blue-toned, and made everything else be in a field of stars!

Mm, 37 is my favorite but 31 and 39 are also very nice. 🌌

37 has it all – stars, something star chart-esque on the background, and Shen Wei coughing up blood! 🌌

[phyrry]

Indeed, all things I appreciate! 😂

I chose Ye Zun, it's great icon with that smile of his. :) But I also love the handholding one.

[extrapenguin]

Thank you! That little smile is also probably my most iconned screencap:


(Though I've also double-iconned a few other nice screencaps:





in addition to the alt-versions of icons.)

OOoh, I only have two done. /o\

And I'm going on vacation today, so... it's going to be a struggle.

I hadn't looked at your submission on the battle post yet, but I like the blue theme! My faves are 1, 2, and 5. And 9. The star textures are really cool.

I really like your selective coloring icons, too.

Thank you! Space and stars are super motivating, so I had no trouble getting it all done early. Fingers crossed you'll have time to get them all done, and remember, you're in charge, you set the schedule! g*
