Rolls: 1, 1, 3, 6, 1, 4, 1, 4, 1, 6, 2, 5, 2, 5, 4, 6, 4, 2, 3, 3
I didn't want to just take the first 10 rolls and use them for ME icons, and the next 10 for DA, or go down the path of least resistance and use each roll for the fandom it fits more, so I went with the theme of the challenge and used a d20 die to assign the rolls to fandoms.
I ended up with no texture themes, which is sad, and with what feels like ALL the song themes, which is even sadder, because none of the songs actually fit my chosen subjects. Or they did fit, but I hated the song, and therefore refused to use it. And I wanted to icon 20 different characters, 10 faves from each fandom, so I had to engage in some inspiration gymnastics to make it all work... But somehow it all turned out well in the end, I think ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
My goal here was to experiment a bit, don't just go cut out/solid bg/subtle texture on top for every icon, and while they're not as creative as they could be, I think I didn't fail.... completely. I even tried that gradient map coloring that's popular these days, and it was surprisingly fun :U (next goal: try it on real people) (next next goal: try a crop that's not center)
