⌈ Romance of the Dancing Girls ⌋

Nervously, and I'm hoping just in time, I'm posting my contribution to [community profile] fandom20in20. [personal profile] vangirl has participated a couple of times now, and encouraged me to join in this time. I'm glad I did! I can't really identify myself as skilled when it comes to making graphics, but I definitely enjoy it. Moreso, I was really happy to work with a character and series I enjoy so much! If just one person looks at these icons and even vaguely considers watching Revolutionary Girl Utena then I'll be more than satisfied. :>

So, Nanami in 20! Here's an explanation of the themes to anyone interested. And be prepared for some chatter beneath the cut as well, hahahah. I CAN'T HELP MYSELF.

→ Some of these are quite terrible. I realise and completely accept that, hahaha. I'm genuinely really happy with some of them, though, much happier than I actually expected to be.
→ Text. Just, text. sob. (and effective use of textures. and successfully complimentary colours. a-and okay, I'm pretty sure cropping is the only thing I think I have going for me AND IT'S NOT EXACTLY DIFFICULT TO CROP HAHAHA ♥)
→ Touga is in four icons. Touga >:( And Tsuwabaki isn't in any! I'd wanted to include him, so I'm saddened by that. I did get to include Miki though, which warms my solitary shipper heart. I'll ship whatever I like, shush.
→ Nanami is ridiculous. And hilarious. And really kind of heart-breaking when it comes down to it. I wanted to try and capture those different aspects of her - the comedy and the tragedy and the mean-spiritedness and the naivety - and I hope that comes over some.
→ If it's not obvious enough already, I really recommend this series! :)
