[aida_rose]

It's July 15th and it's time for round 5 of Ask the Maker! here at icon_talkHere you'll get the chance to ask icon makers who sign up questions about their icons and other graphics. You can ask for tutorials, guides/"How to", or ask any other questions regarding their work so the makers can compile a Q&A post with the answers to all the questions they get

Can we hotlink your icons?: Go for it.

Favorite textures and/or brushes?

I'd love to know about your composition process. You use texture, colour, blocking etc in the most amazingly unique of ways, and anything regarding how that occurs would be fantastic to read.

You have a few icons recently with textures in a silhouette of a character. I'm curious about your process for those. How you pick the caps/textures/colors for those? What inspires you to create icons like that? :)
