Round 49: Inspirations

[rocketgirl2]

"Remember to be gentle with yourself and others. We are all
children of chance and none can say why some fields will
blossom while others lay brown beneath the August sun."
        - Kent Nerburn

Round 49: Be Gentle
is all about giving some love to the basics.  Just like everything else, our iconning skills and muses need room to breathe so they can develop.  This round asks you to try for a calmer, simpler vibe with your set.  Cropping, coloring, and a few simple textures can do a lot for a screencap, as seen in the examples above, so when you break out your editing software try to, well, edit less.  You might be surprised at how lovely the results are.


・All icons must be made specifically for this challenge, and by you.
・Icons must be inspired by this post and its contents, and fit the theme laid out in this post.
・Icons must be within LiveJournal standards (100x100 pixels, .png, .gif, or .jpg format; 40kb or less).
・Your post should provide 3 examples and a cut (real or fake) leading to a public post.
