My only requests:
1. Please comment and credit nondenomicon (< user name="nondenomicon" >) in keywords and description if snagging anything and using.
2. Please download to your computer and upload to your site. (I use Cloudinary, a free media library site where you can organize things in folders by makers' names! Free with very abundant room.)
3. Textless icons are not bases. If you would like text added, please request with desired font type (with link if possible), color, and text, and I will do my best to fit it on the icon for you. If I add text to an icon for you specifically (e.g., name, community name, etc.), please instruct people (in the userpic notes) to request their own because yours was especially made. Thanks!

I love the last butterfly icon, so pretty. <3

[nondenomifan]

Thanks so much! Those are my favorite butterflies, but I also really love monarchs because I grew with them flying all around the native flowers where I lived!

It's okay if icons don't fit the given palette's colors 100%, but... your first icon is completely red, with no other colors visible, while there is no red in this round's palette. Please don't enter icons that don't fit the palette.


That said, thank you for participating. The other two icons fit the palette just fine. I really like icon #2.

[nondenomifan]

I would never enter something without using the palette's colors in it. There is a 25%-opacity hue overlay merge of the darkest green color with an optimized version of the original picture. Here is the original picture (Please see credits for source):



Thanks!

I believe you that you did something with the image. But the finished icon doesn't have any of the colors of the palette in it. It's red. If I'm looking really really closely, I can see a few spots of what might be lavender in some of the highlights. But it's not enough to fit the palette.

I'm sorry, but I can't accept that icon.

p.s.: the rule of the game is that your icons must show at least one of the colors of the palette. It doesn't matter how you get there, but the color has to be in there in the end.

OK, thanks for the clarification. I'll leave the entry as is in my icon journal, though, if you don't mind.

Thank you for understanding. Of course you may keep the icon in your icon journal. I just can't put it into the hall of fame here.

I'm sorry I had to be this strict - challenges have to have rules, and since I made the challenge post, I have to be the one to enforce them. No hard feelings. <3

If you want, you can keep the icon here as an alt, too. I know it can happen - and it has happened here before - that an icon was made with a challenge in mind and then ended up not fitting it in the end. I've had the same thing happen to me - coloring sometimes doesn't turn out the way one intends.

And of course you can make a different third icon for this challenge if you want.

These are absolutely gorgeous icons! :D

Thank you so much!
