tinny: Bright yellow Zhu Yilong looking into the camera seductively, Chinese text: "kiss" (guardian_zhuyilong kiss)

At first, I didn't really feel inspired by the vibrant/muted theme at [livejournal.com profile] somein30 this month, but then I just made some icons here and there and thought: if I end up with ten, I'll post them. Now when I checked today, I had 14. How did that happen? :D I didn't think 14 would be a nice number, so I made another one. Then I realized I can't post 15 in a nice format, either, because I wanted them to be 50% vibrant and 50% muted. And they'd look much better in a 4x4 square, anyway. ;D So I made another one! Voila, 16 icons!





I used the muted palettes from the inspiration post for some of these, but the majority aren't inspired by anything in particular, so this set is easy mode.

I love all comments, long and short. <3 Take and use as many icons as you like, credit is appreciated. Texture and brushes makers: listed in my resource post.

I love all of the Zhu Yilong ones! Especially Luo Fusheng ♥ of course. And the Fairyland Lovers one is really nice, too. I think "muted" works so well for Hei Qi in that image, suggestive of how the vibrancy drained from his life when his life changed.

Hey, your Luo Fei icon takes me back to the Luo/Luo rentboy idea... We need to return to this sometime! :D (Unless you already have...?)

Ahhh, no, I'm pretty sure the ball's still in my court, as it were... :D I wrote "we" but it should've been "I" /o\

ETA: And the "unless you already have" = unless you started writing the idea in the meantime...

This is such a wonderful set! I really like the way you've used the theme here - I've always loved your muted coloring and the contrast with the vibrant side is cool. Your close crops are great but I particularly enjoy how you've used negative space in this set :)
My favorites are 3, 4, 8, 15, and 16. :D

I really like the colors of these, especially the muted icons and 8 :D

Your process is very relatable lol
I started off making three per theme and then added two for each.

I love these, especially the close crops of the last row, they look so soft! The crop and colouring in 8 make it look a bit comic book-like, it's great! I also really like the background work in 1 and crop in 4 (also, great blue!). Lovely set :D
