In the end it was not my new job that prevented me from making more icons and updating this community in 2023, but getting Covid in October. Even though it was a mild case (or what is typically referred to as one), it reduced my energy levels. That effect is still persisting. Icons and related activities, and keeping up with DW/LJ in general, had to fall by the wayside. I hope to get back into icon making some time next year or at least keep up with what everyone else is doing. For now, here are all the unposted icons I made until September.

001-011 Stock
012-017 Video games (The Curse of Monkey Island, The Sims)
018-020 Linkin Park
021-032 Ghosts

ICON NOMINATIONS - JOIN IN! | MY THREAD

I have not made any post that wasn't made for a specific challenge here this year yet. Sorry!? The Witcher icons are actually from the same LIMS as the icons I posted on January 2. They have been a couple of LIMS icons since then which always means I make a lot of alternates. I'll be making a couple of smaller posts, 30-40 icons, but probably not in quick succession. At least all icons made in January are out of the way...


001-004 Free Guy
005-011 TV Shows (The Boys, Evil, Good Girls, Kin, Westworld)
012-016 The Expanse
017-034 The Witcher

I love monthlyinspo's theme Spice Up Your Life and the entire theme post. It took me a while (of course) to decide on a fandom, but now I'm happy with how most of these turned out. I tried to do a bit of a interpretative approach, like using a "fresh" new character for mint. Others, like sage, are purely based on color.

Here are the last leftover icons from 2021. I waited for the result of the latest movieslims challenge to post them. Most of the Luca and The Witcher icons were made for that community. I really need to catch up on some comments now that this is out of the way ;)

005-021 The Witcher
022-034 Movies (Aquaman, Black Widow, Dune, Justice League, Knives Out, Man of Steel, The Suicide Squad, Wonder Woman)

So far I haven't made that many icons in 2021. This entry includes everything made between January and April. I did take February off from making icons due to real life. Good news though, a new fluffy roommate moved in and got my first shot yesterday.

Finally, my entry for somein30. The theme "All Things Random" was absolutely amazing and super inspiring. I started right away and made 1-2 icons per day, but then kinda lost momentum and really needed that extension. Nevertheless, I'm very happy with my set. Usually I lament the fact that it does not look coherent. This time I went into the opposite direction. I thought it would fit the theme to use as many different styles/techniques as possible. That didn't quite work out, but this time I like how chaotic the overall look is. I also really wanted to use 20 different fandoms which was much easier.

Round 07 at somein30: Eureka, Fringe, WandaVision, Divergent, Daredevil, Stumptown, Knives Out, Legends of Tomorrow, Onward, The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, Prison Break, The Witcher, Black Sails, Superman & Lois, Lucifer, Galavant, Babylon Berlin, Zootopia, Soul, Supernatural

It's been a while. I barely made any icons in August since it was really hot which, for some reason, also meant that I didn't post the icons I already made in the months before that here. It probably made sense in my head. the7days had a really cool back to school challenge during that time which I would have loved to enter. I managed to make two icons (26 and 39 in this batch) -.-
Hopefully there will be some more icons coming this month since I signed up for somein30's first challenge. I added the promo banner again in this entry. Maybe more people will see it (and the one from movieslims) when I cross-post ;)

001-021 People: Andy Samberg, Anna Paquin, Brie Larson, Christian Bale, Chris Evans, Chris Hemsworth, Christina Hendricks, Chris Pine, D'Arcy Carden, Freema Agyeman, Gillian Anderson, Henry Cavill, Lashana Lynch, Pedro Pascal, Sebastian Stan, Tessa Thompson, Viola Davis

Two battles in one entry! The first one is The Witcher Season 1 battle organized (again!) by sietepecados. We all made one icon per episode (see results here). I went for a vintage theme which I think worked out well. The second one is the comedy battle organized by naginis. This one had two parts, themes and provided screencaps. To see the specific themes and everyone's icons go to this entry. I picked Galavant for the themes spontaneously (I wanted to do Brooklyn Nine-Nine first) since it fits better to The Witcher I'd say. I usually don't icon shows/movies I've never seen, so I made a rainbow with the provided caps which I actually really like. This is why I kept the one Galavant icon in that set of icons :D

01-08 The Witcher
09-20 Galavant
21-28 TV shows (Schitt's Creek, Santa Clarita Diet, Friends, The Good Place, The Mindy Project, The IT Crowd, Galavant, Brooklyn Nine-Nine)

novindalf organized a big fantasy fandom battle. It's the third battle I participated in this year and it looks like there will be more. I picked three fandoms and threw in some other icons from the same shows for this entry. If you want to see the specific themes these icons were made for and, of course, everyone's pretty icons (there are a lot!) go here.

015-031 The Witcher

I have finally started reuploading the icons from Photobucket to ImgBB. I know it's not the ideal host, but it keeps the file names which makes replacing the links so much easier. I'm far from done though.
This is my entry for this month's monthlyinspo challenge. The theme is 2019 to 2020 and I picked five favorite new shows from 2019. If I stuck to favorite shows I started in 2019, this post would just be ten Turn icons again. I really took my time with these. I started shortly after the challenge went up, took a break for a week, and finished yesterday. No rushing to the deadline this time. Overall I'm really happy with how these turned out. Once again it's not the most coherent set though.
