Activity #89 - Put A Hat On It

[tinny]

Santa Hats! Or... any other funny decoration, really. There's this tradition to decorate your user icons with Christmas-y elements in December. I've seen hats, red noses, reindeer antlers, sparkly stars, and falling snow, but there's no limit to the things you might want to add to your icons *for fun*. :D If you're not into Christmas, feel free to use anything else decorative that you find funny!

You can make new icons including these decorations, but you can also take old icons (please only use ones you made yourself, unless you have the permission of the maker) and add decorations to it. Modifying old icons is allowed this round!

... I'm imagining putting a hat on my moderator hat icon and laughing

Edit: the source for this icon (some Girl Genius official paper doll pages) also has a santa hat. I'm going to seperate that out so people can use it.

This is from the 2015-01-16 page of Girl Genius. I just isolated it and cleaned up the outlining a bit. Let me know if you want the PSD

That is hilarious! :D

I'm going to seperate that out so people can use it.

Thank you so much! I'll put it up in the post with the resources so everyone can immediately see it.

Whoot! I've been wanting to put a santa hat on my default icon this year.

ETA: Thank you for making that possible!

[tinny]

Lolol, glad to be of service! :D That icon is already funny, but this makes it funnier! :DDD

[gaby]

[tinny]

Oh, I love these icons! The original versions are awesome on their own, and I love how the addition of the holiday hats and backgrounds in all of them too. ♥

[tinny]

You were right about the moderator hat + santa hat, it's amazing. The lone santa hat with the caption is also great!

And Justice, truth, honor, sugarcanes! Lololol! :D I love the creative ideas with the tree ornament and the snow and icicles, too!

I think the skeleton is my fave. <3

[goodbyebird]

Delightful!

[littlemissnovella]

Let me see if I have time to do this activity!

I did create these two icons in 2019:



New one:

old icon -> new icon.

->

I am going to see if I have time later to make more.

[breyzyyin]

I love the Stargirl icon! The added flair from the Santa hat is awesome, and the cropping of the original icon is so neat and eye-catching! ♥

[tinny]

Omg that's a great one! I love the contrast of the blue background and costume with the red hat! :D

[tinny]

Whohooo, that was fun!

I love that you changed the words in the second icon to fit the theme! All of these icons are great, both in the modified versions and the original ones. ♥

[tinny]

Thank you! I had a lot of fun with this. :D
