10in30 Round #5: Lost

[starkwars.livejournal.com]

I had a hard time choosing what to do with this but in the end I went with trying to make into a atmospheric/dream like feel because I wanted to do something different for a change since I'm usually all about bright colors (see the alts lol) and also because, before I started watching I'd heard that some people think/have a theory they were all dead the entire time, which doesn't exactly make sense to me right now but maybe it would when I see then end? (ngl, if it is true I'm going to be just done) idk but in this case, I'm just rolling with the idea that they're dead. So in the sense that they're passing on into the afterlife; it starts off with muted tones to fade eventually into white and greys and finally, black but I couldn't execute the idea as well as I had imagined it soo you might not see that. :P oh well, I like it. It's reallyyy simple as well so it's a nice change of pace!

I've also included the rest of the 'story' playlist I used because I got really into it and I had to share. :P

i am so loving the colorings on these icons
also the croppings are magnificent!

[starkwars.livejournal.com]

Thank you! :]

Goodness, this post is spectacular. I adore the overall mood the icons convey, and I think your idea is well executed. What you wanted to do is clear, and I love it. Plus, the playlist is amazing.

Now, about the icons. #1 has a very wonderful colouring, it's so soft and delicate, and in spite of the coldness (again, the tones are simply stunning) there's some kind of warmth, you captured Claire's personality and the crop is magnificent. I have a thing for distant crops that give melancholic vibes, so #2 and #5 are like– ultimate favourites. I adore the lighting in #3 and #4 very very much. The muted greens in #4 leave me speechless. The black & white row is utter beauty. It's incredible how monocromatic icons can be so emotional. Well, the credit goes to you because it's something that not everyone can do. You're incredibly talented! :) I adore #6, #7 and #8 the most, but I also love the shadowing (?) in #9 and the blocking technique in #10.

Also, the third and last alternatives are GORGEOUS.


P.S.: Is it the first time you're watching Lost?

[starkwars.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much so for the detailed reply! *A* ♥

I'm glad my idea came across well! And yes, this is my first time watching the show. I have about 20 and a half episodes left of it! I'm excited to see the end but also dreading it. I don't want it to end! lol

[tturners.livejournal.com]

Oh my, then I wish you good luck, haha. I was so shocked the first time I watched the series finale! :')

And you're very welcome, giving you details in comments is the least I can do ♥

These are really really beautiful! The cropping and coloring and b&w is just stunning. Saving 4, 7 and the Ben alt!

If you ever wanna chat about Lost, give me a shout :D

(hope you don't mind me using the Ben one, since you're using it too!)

[starkwars.livejournal.com]

Great, I'll remember that! And no, I don't mind at all! :3

I love the lighting and the muted colors on this set...definitely makes an "afterlife" mood ♥

[starkwars.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

The muted colors if the first row are awesome, especially on 2! I also really like the crops of 1, 3 and 8. The lighting of 2 and 9 is super pretty, too :)

These are gorgeous! I love the muted coloring on the 5 group and I really like the Hurley icon. Snagging all. =)

[starkwars.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much! :D

[gribouille.livejournal.com]

Wow, those crops are absolutely gorgeous! I'm in love with every single one of those icons! The muted colours suit them perfectly (although the alts are nice, especially the Hurley one). Also love the composition for 10.

Basically, I'm going to be saving everything. This is such a wonderful set!

[starkwars.livejournal.com]

Thank you! :3

[neonspider]

Wow, this set is amazing! I love the concept of this set and you executed it perfectly, the set has a wonderful mood. I particularly love the pale colors in the Farewell Life set. The crop and hint of color on 3 are absolutely spectacular, it's probably my top favorite of them all. 2 is amazing as well, I wish I could make muted colorings like this, it's so beautiful. The crop and strong contrast on Ben look great, and I love the alt too, now which one to save?? :c Love the alt for Hurley, the coloring is fantastic. I'll upload a few of these if I can just pick which ones. I'm so happy you iconned my favoreite show for this :)
