theiconthrone's 14th challenge:
Resource Roundup
I loooove my textures so much.
Unfortunately though I always just saved them and added the credits to my credits post
now if I go back and want to credit a specific texture I mostly don't know who made it.
so I won't give you the textures that you see in the example icons (the example icons are all mine)
still I tried to give you a wide range of textures :)



first off... edge textures.
examples:





I often use textures that only cover the sides.
I think they look really awesome and often help with pictures that are slightly too small.

next type of textures I often use are sometimes called "colour bombs"
examples:





I like them to intensify or change the icons colour:





pamkips vetica longerthanwedo innocent_lexys
I especially love the ones where there's different colours on 2 different sides:





midnight_road likealight midnight_road LIKEALIGHT

next we have grungy textures
examples:





I think I use them a little bit tooo much. it sometimes makes my icons a little bit grainy
but textures are still awesome because the colourful ones can also be used for fake background :)





FUUURS TINEBRELLA FUUURS IVETICA

paint(ish) textures
examples:





then we have those textures that look like they were painted onto the icon.
they don't necessarily have to be grungy
I especially like those to frame the character in my icon.





tinebrella HAPPY_HARPER13 REBEL WELT_HERRSCHAFT

text/editorial textures
examples:





either for background or overlaying...they often help the composition if you think the icon is too boring
