20muses Round 1: Game of Thrones

This set didn't turn out at all like I had imagined, I mean it's an ok set but I'm disappointed by many of the icons and executing the ideas I had for each artist group just fell flat.

For the most part I used the general 'feeling' I got from the artists work combined as inspiration (well the ones I liked from the inspiration post anyways).






Inspired by Louise LeBourgeois
These I made simple; minimalism (well..there was an attempt), tiny text, lots of negative space and blues.
I don't like how these ended up being rather repetitive but it's too late to try and fix them now. :\


Inspired by SIT (website)
These didn't turn out as I had imagined, especially the far crop ones. I think they would have worked better as larger graphics as the details get lost.
Particular pieces that inspired me the most were these; one, two*, three, four, five.
*directly inspired 6 and 8.


Inspired by Richard Whadcock
Faded(ish) colors and (at least partial) obscurity...yeah that didn't work out so well.


Inspired by Ian Francis & Fran Williams
I tried to blend these two styles together in a cohesive set but I gave up because nothing was working. So instead, the first two are Ian Francis inspired, 3-5 are inspired by Fran Williams.

Wow, these are all so amazing! #7 is just, amazing. I love the slits within the composition, it creates such an interesting, unique style to the icon. I love how focused it is as well within the icon, and how the black & white element seems to strengthen it so beautifully. The softness of the colouring in #11 is beautiful too. Even the gentle tones you've used in the background, and the way you faded the lighting just, works so magically here. And the boldness of the colours, and sheer vibrancy in #17 is all kind of exceptional. I love the contrast of the orange in the foreground to the blues and pinks and purples in the background, it all looks so perfect together. Stunning stuff!
