The usual rules:

1. Comment to this entry saying - 'Today we're cancelling the apocalypse' - and I will pick 3 of your icons/userpics.
2. Make an entry in your own journal (or just reply if you prefer) and talk about the icons I picked!

Here are the three userpics tinnny chose :D

Awesome! I think the second one doesn't look simple at all! The way the colors contrast and are cut through by the frame makes it look pretty complex indeed!

I love the textures in the third one. They really add something to the icon compared to the five-layer one, which feels more gloomy and moody.

Thank you for talking about your icons! (I think I now want to do it again. :D)

Today we're cancelling the apocalypse!

Would you like to choose some of mine? (They are almost identical on LJ and DW, because I need them to match for crossposting, but I have quite a few more on the LJ side that I never transferred over.)

I guess that the way I see it vs. how others would perceive it is quite different, haha. I often realize that the icons I might not like that much are many others' favorite, hah. (Not this one, which. I am pretty proud of, just in general.)
And agreed re the GO icon! I felt the other one was nice but when I added a bunch of textures and played around with it, the entire thing changed.

Let's see... you have so many cool ones it's honestly hard to choose just three. Lmk if any of these don't work for you :)

Thanks, those are good! <3

Oooh. Sounds like fun!

It was hard to pick! Not all of them are userpics but I just couldn't help myself (love that Mulan icon so, so much) and the one userpic I did pick is from DW... hehe.
If you would prefer different ones, let me know! I tried not to pick icons made by someone else because I felt you'd likely have more to say about this but I can switch it up :D

I forgot to reply to you here, lol!

No, I'm glad you picked these ones! They're definitely some of my favorites. Most of my userpics are so old that I don't really remember why I picked them, well except for on DW, lol!

I loved that West Wing icon, especially the frame and the combination of colours! And the Good Omens one has such a pretty combination of textures and colouring

Aw, thank you so much <3 It was so hard to pick just three because your icons are lovely (and I just realized I never commented on the last icon post of yours! Gonna fix that immediately). One of them isn't in your userpics but I still love it very much. If any of these choices don't work, let me know and I'll gladly choose a different one :)

Thanks! I replied (in great depth oops) here :D
