Beautiful colouring! I wanna know how you make your icons. The colours are just right, not too saturated! I like the colouring on the first three icons. Do you do a dark green-olive exclusion layer on them?

Thank you!

Actually, I took a yellow (to be exact, #fdff2e) and did a subtract layer, which is Gimp's equivalent of exclusion, I believe. I then adjusted it to about 39% (depends how dark you want the icon, you know?). If you're curious, I made a new layer and used a soft, bright blue (#b0fcff) and set it as soft light at around 49%, then made a new light, rose pink layer (#f3cbcb) and also set that to soft light at around 81%.

This is not exactly how I did it because I didn't save the steps.. but I just roughly created it. The orange on Shia could be brought up increasing the saturation, etc, etc.

If you try this out, I'd be totally interested in seeing with you come up with. Hope this helped?
