Challenge 216: My role models: the movie dads and Rebecca Romijn

[tinny]

This was a really hard challenge! I realized a ways in that I need to choose real people for this. They inspire me and make me want to live up to their example.

Reasons

Rebecca Romijn is just an immensely decent human being, has a wonderfully humorous outlook on life, is a Star Trek fangirl, named one of her daughters after Dolly Parton, and her motto is "better crazy than boring". I followed her social media for years while I was watching The Librarians. Two more recent role models of mine: Jono and Alan from Cinema Therapy. Jono is a therapist who is unfailingly kind, his most important trait is accountability, and I love how open and sincere he is, even about things like his marriage (problems). Alan is a filmmaker who basically cries at every movie, and I love his vulnerability. Noteworthy to me is that they're both part of a religion that is anti-lgbt, and they have both explicitly renounced that stance, and I respect that a lot.

I really love the lighting of 1 and the framework of 2 is amazing.

I didn't know any of that about Rebecca Romijn. How lovely!

Great compositions! I also really like the lighting on 3 :)

Thank you! <3 It's hard to see that he's crying at iconsize, and I'm still not sure about the coloring overall, but yay! <3

She's pretty cool, yeah. Her beauty could lead one to assume she's just a pretty face, but she's really smart and has so many convictions that I admire.

Thank you so much! <3

Nice choices! I like the Cinema Therapy videos I've watched. I really like the first icon and the text in the background. Really nice lighting, as well.
