Oh my gosh, I forgot today is the last day of 2025, I better get ready writing 2026 soon! I noticed either I created icons at least once a month or three times a month (June/October looking at you), but the number of icons I create have decreased but that may be due to the fact that I am currently finishing my dissertation/doing internship (which is my job) and just juggling other demands that make creating more icons harder for me. But I do want to still be productive next year, and grow as an icon creator.


 
I created icons for monthlyinspo andstocklove_ic , where I was focusing more on coloring and lighting. Also, for my alts, I focused on text work, which is something that I don't like to do but I want to grow as an icon creator in this area.


I created icons for monthlyinspo andstocklove_ic , where I was focusing more composition work and coloring.

  
I created icons formonthlyinspo , retro_icontest , and icontalking , this is where I focused on text work, simplicity and using five layers or less to create icons (which was super fun to do!)I had a blast in the past for the retro_icontest challenge which was following somein30 challenge which always pushed me as an icon creator, I had different challenges that I made sure to follow. Also, fandom10in30  focused on cropping, and perioddrama_ic  focused on book covers. I made some random icons focusing on the texture and composition on them.


 I created so many icons for June, especially for retro_icontest  which was all about those decoratives so I had fun exploring different decorative textures, discovered my love of painted effect for monthlyinspo  and perioddrama_ic , and focusing on coloring for fandom10in30 .

 I created icons for retro_icontest and alts forcelebrity20in20 . I focused on coloring, painted effect, and complexity. 


 I was away for vacation but I did answer an ask the maker question about how to make gif icons, and created icons for fandom10in30  and icontalking . I focused on complexity, warm coloring, and text work. 

I created icons for  monthlyinspo ,  retro_icontest , and stocklove_ic .  I had so much fun focusing on coloring, composition, and text work for this post. Also, I was asked in two challenges what I did in the summer which was basically analyzing my data for my dissertation/writing my dissertation and relaxing on vacation. 

 
I created icons for  perioddrama_ic, iconthat, icontalking iconcolors disney_20in20 and tvmovie20in20 
 focused on the use of textures/composition. 

 

I created icons for  fandom_itest[Bad username or unknown identity: perioddrama_ic ]  fandom10in30 , icontalking andscreen_icons  and focused on the use of textures/composition. 

 
I created icons foricontalking .  I focused on coloring, lighting, textures, and composition. 

 

Closing Thoughts: I feel like I've probably started out wanting to work on my goals that I usually have working on more complex compositions. So to work on my same goals - complex composition and text work especially when I have the time to do so. - note - same closing remarks as last year!
