I made this one! I wanted an Evie icon that showed her working in the library (there are lots of her reading, but not so many of her working in the library) so that I could use it for anything related to my own library career. I'm still not 100% convinced that the text placement works, but I have such a hard time with text in icons! They're so tiny! You don't want to cover things up! Also so many of my favorite fonts look so bad in tiny form!
Isn't this beautiful? Obviously I needed an icon of The Hour since it's top-five favorite show material. I could have gone with Bel or Freddy because I love them as much as Lix, but this particular shot of her with the film is just so great.
Another one I made! I wanted a cat icon! But it's so hard to pick between the billions of cute cat pictures online. As one of my major icon-collection themes is books, I liked this particular stock picture for combining the kitten and books. I played a lot with the coloring on this one, and I'm pretty happy with how it turned out. I like vivid colors, in case you can't tell. Many people prefer icons that are more muted, but give me vividness or give me death!
You don't have to say something silly--just let me know if you want me to pick you some icons!
