Why this piece is awesome: A gorgeous portrait of Drummer! Aside from the great likeness, I'm fascinated by the contrast between Drummer's signature black and the wide range of pastel colours the artist used for her face, in a way that still makes it come together as a coherent and perfectly natural whole. Really great.

Activity #96 - Around the Block
27 July 2025 22:25tinny posting in icontalking
We're going to try blocking this month! Use any rectangular shape to cut off/obscure/divide your icon. Text is roughly a rectangular shape, too, so it counts. You don't have to use more than one image to achieve blocking. Textures or even single color shapes can be used to great effect.
This is a free inspirational challenge.
( Some inspirational material under here )
* You can make as many icons as you like (if you need a goal, five is a good number :))
* There is no minimum, 1 icon is enough to enter this activity
* Please submit your icons (and URLs!) to this post, all in one comment (if possible)
* Everyone can participate, you don't have to be a member of this community
* I will collect all the icons from the comments and make a result post
* Everyone can leave comments on the inspiration and activity result posts
* There is no voting
Deadline: Saturday, August 23rd, your end-of-day
