which icon style do you prefer?
Added 2025-02-11 19:41:06 +0000 UTC
hey y'all! I'm working on a new set of desktop icons for all my paid patrons, and was wondering which style you like better -- do you like a really clean/graphic icon look, or do you prefer something a lil more organic/sketchy looking?
lemme know how you feel! you can choose both, if you like~ the icon set theme is gonna be like all the items you might find in an adventurer's pack, along with some standard icons, such as folders and the like :o) I'm excited to work on it, it's been ages since I've made smth like this
EDIT: okay an additional question -- there's no poll for this, so maybe leave me a comment if you feel strongly either way, but do you like the subtle drop shadow or no drop shadow? they both have their charms....so I'm torn....

2025-02-11 23:32:36 +0000 UTCoooo this is also an excellent point -- i recently got a really cute felt pack, and I enjoyed the tiny shadow that comes from the scanning, but I get that with digital stuff the lack of shadow is more cohesive. thank you!

2025-02-11 22:15:59 +0000 UTCI prefer no drop shadow because I actually have so many of these desktop icon packs from you and other artists (and LOVE them, love getting more), and none of them have shadows. I love to mix and match my icons and refresh them often, so don't think they would blend as well with others if they were the only ones with a drop shadow.

2025-02-11 21:53:09 +0000 UTCI think that in the case of desktop icons a drop shadow is not necessarily doing much to the design. Especially if we have busy backgrounds, it took me a while to spot it tbh.

2025-02-11 21:43:23 +0000 UTCI like no shadow better. If you want it to stand out more from the background, I almost think I’d like a bubble outline better though, like the type you make when you’re designing stickers.

2025-02-11 21:36:08 +0000 UTCI’m partial to no shadow (purely because I like to make my desktop and Notion icons match and they look better flat in Notion imo hehe)

2025-02-11 21:34:27 +0000 UTCShadow or no shadow ... I think you've already shaded it in the drawing? So I'd say you don't need the shadow. But let the comments decide haha!

2025-02-11 19:44:25 +0000 UTCOne of my favorite aspects of your art has always been the texture you put in everything so def that one for me!! Both are good tho!
