Empire Ants

I needed a certain look for a werewolf character. That's it, that's the entire reason I did this. I haven't even seen the portion of Riverdale Kurtz is from, other than through a compilation video.

Note that the extra sections at the bottom contain work I'm not particularly proud of but thought someone might want for atmospheric purposes (and also because I didn't want to delete icons I'd already made). There wasn't much I could do with the atrocious lighting in that scene, so yeah...

Second half of Lili Reinhart in Riverdale 3.04: The Midnight Club for truebornstark's suggestion. This post features the LARP outfit and my desperate attempts not to descend into madness while bringing some light into the inky void of this show.


( The biker girl traded her leathers for a big lie. )

Created upon request/suggestion for truebornstark, these icons feature Lili Reinhart in Riverdale 3.04: The Midnight Club. Colouring and lighting vary quite a bit from scene to scene, but I tried to find a balance between 'probably a vampire' and 'spent too long in the sun.'

Though it's difficult to tell when they're laid out like this, the first five icons are slightly brighter and less pink variations of the five which follow.

This here's the second and final part of Cole Sprouse as FP Jones II FP Jones Jr. in Riverdale 3.04: The Midnight Club. These didn't turn out as well as I'd hoped, thanks in large part to the horrible colouring and shadows in most of these scenes, but I think I'm happy with the outcome overall.

Made for truebornstark's request/suggestion. Thanks for the patience and being a joy to work with here! ♥

Here's part one of two featuring Cole Sprouse in Riverdale 3.04: The Midnight Club as FP Jones Jr. (That's canon now, apparently, but I'm stubborn and stuck in my ways so I'm keeping the character tag as FP Jones II. You guys know who it means.) Epic kudos to the costume department for a very convincing transformation into bb Skeet Ulrich.

Made upon request/suggestion for truebornstark, but of course free for anyone to use. These took absolutely forever to get right, especially since I've been sick af lately, but I think overall I'm happy with how these turned out. I especially love this half of the set, which didn't give me anywhere near the amount of trouble as the atrocious lighting and colouring in the second half.


( Nothing serious. You know, just messing around, which she was cool with. )

This is the second and final set featuring KJ Apa as Fred Andrews in Riverdale 3.04: The Midnight Club - requested/suggested by truebornstark. As with the last one, I encountered some weirdness with shirt colours and have included both aqua and seafom as a result. This is the set with LARP gear~

Additionally, I ran into some weirdness with the brightness levels on icons 218-269 and gave up on making them look good for both my laptop (where they appear too dark in the original state) and phone (where they appear too bright in the alternate form). As such, the bottom of this set includes some brighter alternate versions of those just in case they're too dark as-is.


( The wannabe rock star sold his guitar and began breaking rocks at his family business. )

Incredibly late and I still have Cole, Cami, and Lili to finish, but hopefully these don't disappoint! The colouring and lighting were a bit more of a struggle than on the other sets from this episode, and I'm not entirely certain why. Also, the shirt came out very, very blue in some of these (I think I applied the wrong filter set, oops) so I made two versions of each relevant image - the aqua blue and a more muted seafoam green.

Here's part one of two featuring KJ Apa as Fred Andrews in Riverdale 3.04: The Midnight Club. Requested/suggested by truebornstark, who has been amazingly patient while I make these. ♥


( Run fast enough and all they'll see is a blur. )

Part two of Madelaine Petsch as Penelope Blossom in Riverdale 3.04: The Midnight Club, made for truebornstark's request. Please pardon the graininess in some of these; I'm still trying to find a balance between brightening and combating the fuzziness on the show with nary a lightbulb to be found.


( The Game Master became the pawn. )

While Casey was the least featured in the flashbacks, Madelaine was the most. Add that to my inability to settle on a cropping style and, well... four days of work later, I have made 486 icons. Sorry, not sorry.

This is part one of two featuring Madelaine Petsch as Penelope Blossom in Riverdale 3.04: The Midnight Club. Created on request for truebornstark, but anyone's welcome to use them. ♥


( Were you born with that mouth, or is it something Southside mothers teach their bastard babies? )

Another of the sets for truebornstark, though of course anyone's welcome to use them: Casey Cott as Tom Keller in Riverdale 3.04: The Midnight Club. I think there may actually be more LARP and uniformed icons here than anything else, which isn't saying much because Tom had the least amount of screentime among all the requested characters. (Check out the set of Sierra for a few variations featuring both of them.)


( I'll wait for you, Sierra; I hope you'll do the same. )
