For this event, I aim to complete at least two challenges as listed below. Traditional art is not my forte and for this reason, I will be doing my thirty day challenge with the aid of graphics programme.
I really like how both these selections looks when they're lined up beside each other so we can see the differences in colour and effects etc. that last one of Draco might be my favourite. aaand I do so love the vintage look you have for the necklace icons, and again that last one is my favourite *-*

I really like the background info on the first set and why you made the decisions you made. I also do like how all three icons look next to each other. The colors look nice!
For the second set, I LOVE that middle one. The coloring is so nice and reminds me a little of Ravenclaw colors!
Thank you, thank you Coming up with the info is one of my fave things to do. I'm so pleased that you love the colours!

Thank you for loving them Somtimes I wing it with the thought process. I'll have no idea of what I want to express but as I'm working on the icons, ideas come to mind.

Thank you! I thought at some point in the past, before it came to Borgin and Burkes, it might have been a heirloom.

N'awww I'm thrilled you like them! It was fun to play around with the effects to see which worked well together
Day Eight: Reformation
Day Nine: Elder Wand
I know not many of us consider 'The Cursed Child' as canon but I thought that one way Draco could have redeemed himself for all of his negative actions was by helping The Golden Trio take down Delphini. The first icons represents her as an innocent, friendly person when she was faking it to use Amos Diggory for her own motive; the second icon represents her personality as a dark witch and the third depicts her strength at dueling as it took the combined efforts of Harry, Ron, Hermione & Draco to defeat her.
Day nine's icons are simple: three consecutive owners of the Elder Wand; three different yet determined individuals in their own way.

Thank you on all counts, MJ! These mean so much!
Day Ten: Poison
Day Eleven: Vanishing Cabinet
It's safe to say that Ron had a memorable seventeenth birthday inadvertently due to Draco. Here are a few icons to remind us how it all went down.
Draco's determination to fix the Vanishing is depicted here in the form of the apple and bird icons. Let's not forget the incantation which constantly had to be used to contribute to his eventual success.

I really like the reasoning behind each of the three icons for reformation, and of what led you to choose that subject matter in the first place. always love to see where people go with the more abstract prompts. and again with the elder wand prompts!!! a whole narrative going on, and the colouring is so pretty
that was a clever route to go with poison too, I like that we get a slughorn from that scene, and the contrast between the cool of harry, and ron in peril, and then slughorn, really striking.
the greens with that apple icon (draco and apples, honestly) are beautiful :3 perfect for him and the trials of the vanishing cabinet

THE GREEN APPLE MAKES A TRIUMPHANT RETURN !!!!! i'm really enjoying looking through all your avatars, alicia! i haven't seen the hp movies in so long and it's so nice to get little windows of them through your graphics and your perspective as you walk us through your thought process for each prompt ;_; also. that dumbledore one is so chilling. it's such a great representation of his character made me ~shiver~ for real
Gosh, I am so here for the pixelated icons and I love you did some more! I love number 2 for alchemy and the vintage ~vibes~ for Dark Artifiacts is absolutely beautiful.
So truthfully, I haven't looked into the Cursed Child at all but I love your explanation and the journey through these three icons for Reformation. The effects you used on these are also beautiful.
And the elder wand icons. I'm obsessed you went with three different holders. I love all three of these and the lighting on them is perfect for what we know about each.
Once again you astound me with the lighting for 1 and 3 of the poison. I also love the simplicity of number 2, it's just so pleasant to look at!
BRB crying for birdie from vanishing cabinet while I look forward to your next ones!

I feel the love from this detail analysis! *holds it close to my heart foreverrr* Thank you so much, Chells! *hands you a box of tissues* I didn't mean to make you cry.
Day Twelve: Trapped
Day Thirteen: Inquisitorial Squad
My interpretation of 'trapped' is Draco being caught up in the whirlwind of emotions and the expectations of Bellatrix, Voldemort and his family. We all know the toll emotions can take on anyone at any time. And I just want to remind everyone: it's okay to feel these things. Cry. Vent. Let it out. Process it all but don't ever let it go on consuming you. There's a fighter in each of us <3
The Inquisitorial Squad. A group I strongly dislike Let's give it up for some of the 'outstanding' members! xD

;__; honestly imagine if someone told draco that it’s ok to feel his emotions. What a different story we would have had. I love this interpretation of him! And LOL @ the superlatives for Inquisitorial Squad that sentence had me in STITCHES (i dont actually know what this phrase means, but kath says it sometimes and it felt appropriate here)

Ugh. Tell me about it! I hope Draco eventually learnt that it's okay to talk and feel his emotions. It indeed felt appropriate. I mean, we've got to celebrate the dedicated members

Day Fourteen: Hippogriff
Day Fifteen: Madam Malkin's Robes for All Occasions
When I think Hippogriff, Draco's little adventure during that particular CoMC lesson always comes to mind. For that reason, I simply could NOT have left this 'panicking' icon out. The purple bits in the other two represents royalty, which is one of the ways how I view Griffs *__*
The Malkins' icons are pretty simple: I thought that'd I'd play around with colours and fonts that could possibly be on a signboard for the Shop.

also I was literally about to say how I love hippogriffs cause they're so majestic and then I looked properly at your icons and there was that exact word \o/ the colours on those are so pretty aND, for the madam malkins icons, my eye was immediately drawn to that first one because it looks just like the text has been embroidered (I think that's the word idk let's just go with it) onto some fabric which is just

for some reason that Filch face in your Inquisitorial Squad set just has me giggling. Must be the pursed lips? I think that is one of my favorite sets that you've done and Umbridge is just such a PINK TROLL with her smug little face
Also panicking Draco

Yay for making you giggle yesterday! Aaah, Umbridge. i couldn't separate the pink from her *angel face*
Day Sixteen: Pride
Day Seventeen: Pigfarts
Whether it be Slytherin pride, blood-status pride or the 'Malfoy' name pride, Draco's got it all. I hoped to capture the haughtiness of he and Lucius in that second icon. I can't tell who is more proud of being a pure blood at times *insert skull emoji here*.
Pigfarts! I had to hop onto YouTube & Wiki to enhance my knowledge here. And what fun it was! I was mind blown at the creativity and sheer hilarity of this theme Not to mention I had fun with the theme since... MARS! SPACE! I LOVE SPACE & ASTRONOMICAL THINGS Also, Draco's 'yum yum yum' bit is so cuuute!

Oh the snark is strong with that second pride avie! I love it!!
I don't know much about the whole pigfarts thing....but the word itself is hilarious to me. I love your mars avie. I feel like it's 3D it's so round and pops off the graphic.
Good job lovey

I love how you're playing around with different effects to capture the right mood. I particularly like the vintage photography effect you've got going on for the necklace - the first one has the feel of photoreactive paper you leave out in the sun, whereas the sepia colour of the last one gives such Victorian vibes.
