10 Emma icons for somein30

Notes:

• The last blended icon I made was bout 6 years ago? So it was a struggle. I feel accomplished just for even managing it. And 2 blending icons in one post??? Who am I even??


• I'm so out of practice when it comes to making technical icons, cause I usually default to the simple stuff. So this was hard but also enjoyable.


• The goal was to do 10. I couldnt so here I am, with 6, just one past the minimum. Shortest icon post ever. Edit: I was able to hit 10!

      1-5

    6-10



I went for super-hard mode because why not struggle and make things hard for myself?

IKR!? Blending was so hard! I resolved to try it more often again.

I love the bright dreamy look of these. Your style is still immediately recognizable. <3 I especially like 3, and 6 (the texture placement is great!), and 10 (woah complex!).

Blending is hard!

Thank you so much! I'm glad you liked these! I'm glad you picked 6! I'm really happy with the way it turned out!
