I love that you put so much thought into every facet of your icon-making. I'm all ......'ohh pretty!' and hit the crop tool. It's a great guide. Well DOne! Memming it for future inspiration!

Thank you! And yes, overthinking is what I do :D

I'm commenting now in case I forget to later, this looks amazing! I haven't read through it all yet, but I am sure I will be coming back to it a lot for advice because I am terrible at making complex icons!

Thank you so much!! I'm flattered that this interested you enough to read, even though it's not really your style. Yay :D

Not sure if I can apply any of these suggestion, or how to do it with Gimp - this is quite technical and a bit daunting (also, after a working day my brain refuses to cooperate - LOL), but just seeing these great examples is inspiring, and makes me want to sit down and play a bit with images...
