Challenge 151: The Dark Side

[tinny]

Dark and non-vibrant icons are a real challenge for me. I tried. :D



Four of these are Zhu Yilong, one is Batman. Guess which one. ;)

I love the compositions of 3! The background looks so cool. I also really like the soft look and coloring of the Batman icon :)

Thank you! I painted the background by hand. His suit has this red piping and it looked a little forlorn, so I painted red edges onto him, and then the background needed more red, too. So I went looking for a pencil-drawn spiral and couldn't find one - so I made it myself. Tada. :D

Thank you! The batman was the last one I made, and by that time I had enough of pure black. :D

I really love icon 4, the mysterious half face lighting , bw coloring + blood red text combo - just perfect. The 3rd icon also has a very interesting bg.

Thank you! The pic already has all that mysterious shadow, and it took me a while to get the text to work with that.

\o/ Glad you like the bg. I painted it by hand. His suit has this red piping and it looked a little forlorn, so I painted red edges onto him, and then the background needed more red, too, so I drew something. :D

They look great, I really like the third and fourth ones, the third one is giving me noir feelings.

[tinny]

Thank you so much! Yay for noir feelings \o/

I love the soft night light in 2 and everything about 3: I painted the background by hand. Wow!! (Your grungy brown icon is also really cool.)

[tinny]

I often do a lot of drawing and painting on my icons. It's fun. :D

Thank you so much! <3

The Batman one looks pretty love the lighting, also the one with the drawn accents & the design of the one with text look super cool!

Thank you so much! \o/
