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?

You made it count! I love all six icons so much -- they're so beautiful.
I love that the top three are more vibrant/warm than the bottom three. The composition in the first three is great and the lighting in 2 and the coloring in 3 are also to die for. I also really like your blending in 1, 5 (lighting + muted colors + that crop = ♥) and the texture work in 4 and 6.
I love this batch so much, great job! :D
