shine - division - antique - trend - erase - parts of a whole

all from Zhu Yilong's new movie Land of Broken Hearts



I didn't get the most happy ending (oops :D), but at least it was different enough from the last time I did this challenge that I had some new themes. I enjoyed it!

I didn't really know what to do with antique, so I tried to get the icon to look like an old copper stitch. Trend equally stumped me. I think it was supposed to be "iconing trends", but the community is so small these days and everyone has their own style, so I'm not aware of any trends (except, now that I think of it "doing my thing" would be a trend then). So what I did was I looked up the music charts and picked the song that's been on there the longest - "Lose Control" by Teddy Swims - and took some of its lyrics, so now the icon contains a trendy song. Yay? Erase was easy, and for Parts of a Whole, I interpreted this to mean a splash of color in a b/w icon.

I love the division icon so much! That, erase, and parts of a whole are definitely my faves.

I love the composition using complimentary coloring and divided border in 2 , looks very poster like. Also, 1 is very lovely with placement of subjects to an extreme corner and that soft glow. <3
