I've got two lovely icons waiting for feedback from me, I have not forgotten <3 I'm going to extend this to the fourth. I think that'd be alright since I'll be wearing all of them about the same amount of time. I thought I'd give a few more folks a chance to get theirs in.

Last time I changed my icon I asked my followers to create a new one for me and then committed to 'wearing' each icon for a time. That went well! I'd like to do that again.

But why not make your own icon?
I get bored looking at my own art. I like an icon better if it's made by someone else because I don't recognize flaws in the work of others the way I do in my own. I've just found this is a fun way to interact with my followers that's also low pressure.

:bulletgreen: You must make NEW art for the occasion. You can't crop my existing art. It doesn't have to be high effort. It can be MSpaint. I don't care.
:bulletgreen: DA icons are 50 x 50px and have a size limit of 15kb. You have to fit within those restrictions.
:bulletgreen: Animated icons are okay but please nothing headache inducing. I prefer icons that don't flash.
:bulletgreen: Anything positive and appropriate is fair game. This is not a ploy to get gift art. I don't want to wear an icon of your OCs face, but I'm happy to wear a flower or a rain drop. You CAN draw my OCs if you want, but that is not a requirement.
:bulletgreen: It must be 100% your original work. It can't be cropped from the art of another person or pulled off the internet.
:bulletgreen: I can turn down any icon if I choose, without giving reason. I don't expect to need to do this, but I can see the need for the rule! (I wouldn't be interested in political or advertising icons, for example).
:bulletgreen: You only have three days. Sorry to try to squeeze this into such a short window. Its better if I don't get TOO many responses.
:bulletgreen: I will wear each icon made (as long as I find it appropriate) for one week or more. The time may vary because I can be forgetful or may want to cling to one for a little while. I will also include credit for that icon in my DA signature (like I do with my current one). I can't guarantee that I'll be very active while using your icon, so I don't know how much if any traffic you'll receive as a result.
:bulletgreen: If you wish your icon removed from my profile before the week is up just let me know. Otherwise I'll stay the course.

Just leave a comment with whatever you've made. Event ends June 4th at 8 pm central USA.

I was bamboozled, I finished this one seconds before you uploaded that new reference of Andy. I edited it a bit to resemble his updated design, though, but I don't think it reads as well. Curse dA's 50x50 pixel icon sizes. -shakefist- Ah, in any case, I hope they work decently enough, if you do end up using them. It was a neat exercise in composing small, haha.
