STARTING THE SET WITH SPICE GIRLS IS A POWER MOVE AND I LOVE IT. Hahahaha RIGHT? It was the very first icon I made and it had to be EPIC. I was like, what could be more 90s than the Spice Girls??? Nothing, that's what. Well, maybe the Game Boy or the SuperNintendo would have done, and I considered putting the Spice Girls inside a Game Boy screen, but the Game Boy screens were so tiny xD GLAD YOU APPRECIATED IT THOUGH. Also, now I need to guess your favourite Spice. I've been thinking long and hard about this ever since I received your comment - shhhh don't laugh - and I'm going to go with Victoria. Maaaaaaaybe Emma? No, ok, I put my money on Victoria. Also, can you guess mine? :>
It's so awesome that we share the same profession :> YESSSSS! And we also seem to share the same passion for the job! People don't realize how creative programming can be and how empowering! You can make apps/programs that caters exaclty to your needs, how awesome is that?! Also, thanks for noticing the console green ♥ ♥ ♥
Ooh as a huge music lover I LOVE that you have so many fave genres! I like ALL the genres! Well, maybe not all of them, but my music taste is all over the place and I couldn't bring myself to just pick a single genre! Hope you enjoyed the song by the Mountain Goats! <3
Wooooooow the coloring, cropping and slightly painty/textured/??? look on 18 are absolutely gorgeous and I LOVE the placement of the texture/silhouette decoration. I'm assuming we're talking of 17 here and to tell the truth, the texture looking thing is actually text that says "OM" and it was a happy accident! I wrote OM but the size of the font was too big and the M ended up in a new line and it overlapped with the O and I thought it looked cool so I kept that way, just changed the color of the M xD The font is Sanotra by the way, if you don't have it and can't find it for free, I'll upload it and share it with you because it's such a fun font to work with!
What a great idea about the GameBoy screen - I can see how that would be hard to make clear enough, maybe one person would fit but they're all needed for it to really be a Spice Girls icon.
OK, SO. Favorite Spice. What a good question, and love that you put so much thought into it! I'm actually not sure if I remember this correctly (I was only 9 or 10 at the time), but I think my favorite was Mel C. This was back when I thought I was a girl / a tomboy, so the fact that her signature style was tank top + sweatpants was so awesome for me since that was my wardrobe as well :D Then again I did like Emma too cause she was the "cute one" who looked more like a fellow kid. Honestly I liked them all, I just found it so appealing that they were these clearly distinct types (except I never got what Geri's type/personality was supposed to be, since ginger was just hair color. Now that I'm older I think maybe she was meant to be the "sexy one" but they couldn't exactly name her that :p Or was the name just a pun cause ginger is an actual taste that could be used in food? If so, that went way over my head back then xD) Hmmm I think I'm gonna guess Mel C as your favorite too, just a wild gamble!
That song was really good, thanks so much for the rec! I love finding interesting music from other countries cause it's so hard to come across by chance, I don't even mind if I don't know the language, I just love broadening my music horizons. I too like most genres, the only real no for me is super aggressive metal like black metal and death metal, unfortunately those are super popular here (which I otherwise wouldn't mind, but it means I have to comb through a LOT of that everytime I go on one of my crazy "listen to all the top albums from year X to find new music" quests :p I may need to revise that algorithm somehow).
Oh no I got those numbers totally mixed up, I was actually talking about 19 but much of those comments do fit 17 too! And that is a gorgeous font, I love happy accidents like that, you ended up with a really great composition. I'd looove to have that font, I'm stuck using the same 5ish fonts all the time, but I don't want you to go through any extra trouble for me. I'll try to look it up :) Thanks for the offer anyway!! My font library is such an unusable mess anyway, there are too many fonts and most of them are bad. Back when I was a new iconmaker, I had NO TASTE when it came to fonts so I just downloaded a shitton of random ones and now it takes forever for the fonts to load which makes browsing them annoying, so I just go straight to the old reliable ones I know by heart...
