icontalking | Activity #94 - Technique Waterfall

I don't feel up to Ask the Maker yet, so first we'll have a short activity until mid-June (and then Ask the Maker).

Now we'll make sets of icons following water down a waterfall! Under the cut, there is a list of techniques in the shape of a waterfall.

Icontalking #94 Waterfall

Rules:

* You have to start at the top (on any square that has no other directly above it, not necessarily the top left) and then go straight down or diagonally down. Make one icon for each square you come across (of course using that technique). It's your choice where you start, and whether you go straight down or diagonal on each step. You can go both left-down or right-down. Just never go horizontally or up.

* Each set of icons has to be of consecutive squares you come across on the way from top to bottom. You don't have to go all the way down - you can start at the top and only make two icons, that's okay. Minimum set size is two icons.

* If you want to make more than one set, you can. You can choose a new starting point (has to be one of the top squares) for each set.

Please ask me if you have any questions. Let me know if there's a problem with the graphic, I can also provide the techniques as plain text.

* You can make as many icons as you like (if you need a goal, five is a good number :))
* In this round, 2 icons is the minimum to enter this activity
* Please submit your icons (and URLs!) to this post, all in one comment (if possible)
* Everyone can participate, you don't have to be a member of this community

* I will collect all the icons from the comments and make a result post
* Everyone can leave comments on the inspiration and activity result posts
* There is no voting

Deadline: ~~Saturday, June 14 2025, your end-of-day~~ This activity has been extended through the duration of this year's Ask The Maker round (mid-July/end of July).

Gorgeous! I love the vibrant fiery coloring in #1, the retro/paper look in #2, the piercing blue in #3 (also, he's so cute!), and the composition with the b/w+color+fonts in #5.

Thank you so, so much! ♥ (Vivi is adorable, I love him so! ♥)

Is it okay if I use him for this year's ask the maker header? i have an icon made by participants of this comm on the ask the maker header every year.

Sure, that would be great! Thank you. ♥

Great! I posted the Ask The Maker activity now.

Thank you again. That is awesome! ♥

What an awesome path down the waterfall! ♥ These icons are so very eye-catching. My personal favorites are 1, 5, 7, and 8 but all of these icons are phenomenal (gotta love the text usage in 2, 3, and 4 too!). Great job on them! ♥
