Empire Ants

The final of five sets I made of the Brazilian Instagram model Mia Alves. This particular set is sourced directly from her Instagram account. The youngest she may be in these is 19 based on when she created her account, but the vast majority are in her 20s so I'm not dual tagging age.

This set contains icons with long hair and updos.
Some icons are mildly NSFW.


( I envy her hair styling skills. )

( There were too many to fit into one post, oops. )

( I needed the short hair for a specific muse, thus this project was born. )

The first of five sets I made of the Brazilian Instagram model Mia Alves. This particular set comes from a mix of sources, whereas the other sets come from her Instagram account itself.

( Adorable freckles are adorable. )

These icons feature Lee Minhyuk (aka Huta), well known for being in the K-Pop group BtoB - not to be confused with the same-named Lee Minhyuk known for being in the group Monsta X. I'll probably make more of him in the future, since I still have a ton of images, but I wanted to focus mostly on bleached and dyed hair for a specific muse.

The lighting and colouring on this show are nightmares. But hey, here's one more planned set finally tackled.


( Usually, you have more of a flourish to it. )

Ngl, I went into this hoping Keenan would still look like he did in the Bates Motel era because that's the look needed for a specific character. But alas, he doesn't.

The majority of these icons come from Instagram with a few at the end from Google image searching. There may be duplicates, and there are definitely a few from the younger stuff - just not much of it. Please excuse the quality in a large chunk of these; I was working with heavily filtered (and/or poorly lit) images, some of which were so grainy I suspect they had photo-aging filters applied.


( Well, he’s a bit of a dingus. But a nice dingus, underneath it all. )

I do not recommend trying to icon Riverdale if you enjoy being a sane human. What were they thinking when lighting and colour-grading this show?!

Sorry if any of these are grainy or overly brightened. I run my laptop on lowest brightness and tried to turn it up a few times to check these icons but it just made my eyes hurt.

( Who am I?! Who are you?! Who is he? And why is he shooting at us? )

Full disclosure: I'm not entirely happy with the outcome of this iconning adventure. I've been in a really crappy headspace - as most of us have, thanks to the current state of the world - and I think I've halfway un-learned how to properly edit icons. Add that to the fact I'm a big dummy who tried to edit over a thousand icons in one .psd using a 32-bit version of Photoshop, and... yeah. It was a bit of a tedious project that I didn't even realize I was making more tedious than necessary until I was on the final stretch of like forty icons and by then there was no point adjusting the workflow. Oops?

These were made for fearsome's request/suggestion using screencaps from capseroo, and I'm very sorry it took so long to get to them. Thanks for your patience!
