You've been making some really fancy icons lately, I love it!

what's your most recent favorite icon you've made? not necessarily the best or most popular but your personal favorite?
The one I commented with. Saru is a ST Discovery character, and his species have developed to be wary/afraid all the time. The texture reminded me of synapses firing, so very fitting for him. Love what it represents, though execution could have been slightly better.

is there a show/movie/etc. that you've tried to icon before but can just never seems to work? i, for instance, cannot seem to icon any media set before the 2000s very well.
With movies? Lots. I kinda shrug and move on lol.

have you ever made icons for something you haven't seen? Only a few times for upcoming stuff I'm very hyped about, or for fandom_stocking and the request fest a while back on smallbatchicons.

aww, thanks! i'm so glad you like my fancier icons! ♡

that's so cool how the texture reminded you of synapses firing! it makes me love that icon even more knowing the backstory behind it! my icons almost never have that much thought put into them. it's more of a "which colors and textures can i slap on here?" deal.

Oh, it was a rare occurrence! Usually I'll slap stuff on until something sticks ;)
