This palette totally kicked my ass, and these icons are honestly atrocious but I’m just gonna be mad at myself if I don’t post them after I stayed up late to finish them, so now you have to look at them, too! >:D This was a good exercise though and fun in its own frustrating way. :D

I think these icons look pretty good, myself! :) The second icon is great from a coloring and shading stance, and I love the overall action captured in it too. ♥ The third icon is truly eye-catching with its coloring and I love the text usage in the first. It may have been a challenge to create, but this set is impressive all the same: great job with them! ♥

Aw, thank you. :) I ended up with an absurd number of adjustment layers for the second one because it was so difficult to read with the girls all turning into one big blue-greenish blob. 😆

That palette totally kicked my ass, too! Did you see my results? :DD But I love this comm for making me do things I wouldn't otherwise do, and for playing around with gradient maps. I try to make the palettes as varied as possible and have both "easy" ones and hard ones. The next one is easy (in comparison), I promise.

I think your #1 especially is awesome! The borders look cool, and the green tint just makes it look so surreal which fits the text.

They all look surreal, really, which is a great use of the palette.

It’s the Dark Souls of color palettes. :'D But that’s why I stuck with it, because when else would ever use these colors together?

Amazing set. I love the way you've used all the colors of the palette in your set. Loved the text and borders in 1 and 2.

Thank you! My motto seems to have become: When in doubt, just use more borders. :'D
