This month's challenge at retro_icontest was honestly so much fun; I love random options. A lot of these really made me think and helped get me out of the creative rut I was falling into, so that' nice, too. My list of prompts + ramblings on them can be found under the cut, beneath the full set of icons.

Mostly Ensemble Stars! & Final Fantasy VII; all fandoms and characters can be found in the tags.



( full set under here :D )

I lost track of time this month and completely spaced on when this was due, so this is a much smaller set for my entry for Round 70 at monthlyinspo. Text also isn't my strong point, but I had fun anyway~

In honor of Souma's birthday: an icon post!! Featuring a lot of enstars (as per usual) and various other stuff I've made for icon challenge/contest communities (if they haven't already been posted here).

Also holy shit there are a lot of tags on this entry. I'll try to post more consistently/in more focused groups I guess? idk I don't usually post this many icons at once in the first place XD

( happy birthday Soumaaaaaaaaaa )

So at first I struggled to come up with what I was gonna make for part of this month's challenge at retro_icontest: remake your style. Cuz I've basically always had the same style, or at least the same attempted style- I was just significantly less good at it when I was starting out. tbh, I thought on it for nearly a month before I realized the answer was staring me in the face the whole time!!!

Sparkle icons, duh! When I wasn't making grunge-y fandom icons, I was pumping out only the sparkliest freebies back in the day :D So, I made some in that style~

Also, it's just all enstars this time, idk what anyone expects from me anymore XD I really do try to make a variety...so at least I made some other characters for once? ;D My "artist's choice" theme was to make all icons from No name yet, featuring Kohaku in the secret color of his outfit.

See, I promised there'd be more icons soon, and I'm delivering!!! And my current love of challenge communities means I've got some variety going on here; it's not just enstars. But I was ~inspired~ to icon a bunch of the newest enstars MV, because I love shuffle units, so...plz enjoy that ;D

( someone save me from light textures (jk jk i love them) )

Here's my entry for Round 24 at retro_icontest :D The challenge involved using two screencaps in eight different ways, and I had a lot of fun getting creative with crops/textures/etc to keep all of them looking fresh~

I love making icons in small bursts and then not posting any of them for... *checks calendar* 4 months! XD I also thought I'd include some more variety than this, but I, uh, didn't. Enstars has me in a fuckin death grip, okay, I can't help myself~

( don't talk to me about the upcoming Switch event ;w; )

Here it is, in the year 2025, my first ever completed mood theme!!! I wanted one to match my new journal layout and enstars is a (relatively) new enough fandom that no one else has made any yet...so here we are! I was a man possessed, which is to say I made this in just over 24 hours XD

Oops?

Well, my hyperfixation is your gain~ Enjoy!!!

I started these with the intention of making a whooooooooole bunch of Halloween icons, and then....was only so successful.........but I did end up making a slightly greater variety of enstars characters this time? And also some other stuff~ Can y'all tell I've been participating in icon centest communities? Because I have, and it's forcing me to think outside my comfort zone (sometimes).

( I swear I meant to make more Halloween ones... )

What's it like to not accidentally fall headfirst into another fandom, purely because you wanted another phone rhythm game? Well, I certainly don't know XD So, enjoy a rare experience: a second icon post in a year~~~
