One must imagine Ramsay twinkified, out of spite.

Well this was unexpected… but it seems like over the past week I’ve become addicted to making icons.

Back on Tumblr I was really into GIF making, so I guess icons are just the LJ/DW equivalent of that. Similar to how the limitations of GIFs posed a fun challenge, the tiny 100×100 format adds a layer of difficulty, especially when you’re also trying to keep HiDPI screens in mind. I had to mostly give up in the last part, since making something look crisp when it’s technically blown up by 100% is borderline impossible if you’re not working with pixel art.

Anyways, here are the capital I Icons I’ve made so far:

This was a super fun challenge and a great intro to icon making. I basically got to observe and learn from the other users in the comm for the whole week. It was really inspiring and motivating; I definitely didn’t start with the intention of getting a full rainbow, but, well…
