Icons

[everlastingsoul]

I've made more progress working on Minato icons in two days than I have working on Albert icons in two weeks. I still run into the same canon color problems, though. Albert's hair has bugged me for years. And now comparing Minato's eye color between Persona 3 materials and the later versions just rolls over the same nerves. Is it gray? Is it blue? Fanart seems to favor blue, but then shade wildly differs between artists. I've always seen his eyes as gray, but there seems to be this love of contrast between blue and red and-- arrrrgh, what a stupid thing to be annoyed about. u_u

It's to the point where I'm doing the icons with both colors because I can't make up my mind.

I would tell you "his eyes are grey" except there's that cover for P3P where they're definitely blue. I generally go with a blue-grey tone because blue really stands out more. Minato is a pain to color... he's basically black and grey, with the one splotch of blue on his hair, so anything that gives him more color helps the icon.

Thanks for the input, Griff. And I totally hear you on his coloring.

Your icons are really cute though, especially the one up there.

Thank you! That means a lot coming from you, after you've made so many of the icons I've used.
