Inspire Me with Ambiant Textures

Ready or not! We're going behind the scenes with twenty icons that raise the bar though the use of textures, techniques, and typography in the background. With so many ways to set the scene, the possibilities are endless!

Fantastic idea for a praise post! And thank you very much for including one of mine :)

Thanks, I'm glad you like it! I'm obsessed with textures, so I'm often analysing the backgrounds of different icons XD
No prob, I love how you took the decorative elements from the costume design. Great attention to details <3

I love this kind of icon where I don't see everything all at once and keep discovering small details. petite_tomate is so good at making them <3

I think you've summarized my feelings exactly! I'm always wondering what's going through their heads while they're making these tiny pieces of art XD

Wow, you chose some amazing icons, I'm going to have to save these for future oogling <3

I love that icon of yours! The muted color scheme is lovely, and the freeform-style use of typography makes the polygonal texture feel fresh again :3

thanks for using two of mine *o* I love looking at complex icons and trying to mimic what makes them complex to me ^^
These are some of my favorites where I finished and I was like "now how did that happen?"

LOL, I try to do the same thing... but composition has never been my strong point. I'm learning slowly XD

I almost included that first icon of yours into the post! I love the layered typography~

So inspired right now... those icons are driving me crazy with how perfect they all are.
