Sunshine Challenge Prompt #2

[kingstoken]

I am not super comfortable with this challenge, and I am not sure why, I guess it feels a little too personal for me, so instead I am just going to talk about my icons:

This is my current default:



It is just a stock photo that I changed the colouring of. I have a real weakness for images of women in silhouette and their hair flowing in the breeze, as you can see from my previous default:



Neither image is fandom related, I think I like them because they are pretty, but also convey moments of peace and beauty.

Some of the other icons I have created and are currently on my icon list:



This one is my only animated one, I created it for someone else during the Snowflake Challenge, and I liked it so much I decided to use it myself. This was also around the time I was re-watching some of voyager.



Earlier this year I read the Hawkeye Comics and fell in love with Kate Bishop. When I saw this image I knew it would make a great icon, again I changed the colouring, because that pizza box was not originally pink.



Also this year I was going through a phase where I was remembering how much I used to love Storm/Wolverine as a pairing, so when I saw this image I knew I had to find a way to make it an icon. I cut out the image and placed it on another background.



This is an extremely minor character from the Supernatural finale, I loved her, and had to make an icon. She still makes me smile. This is also the first icon I made with text.



I made this icon for the GoT Kink Meme, and I liked the way it turned out, so I added it to my regular rotation. It features one of my fave pairings of Game of Thrones, and the moment they finally got together.

My other icons are ones that were created for me by generous people during challenges. Because I have a free account, and only limited space, I have a file folder in my computer saving all the lovely icons and I can switch them out as I like.

Talking about icons is a great way to fulfil the prompt.

Identity is a super personal topic, and everyone's comfort levels vary. I love that you took the time to speak about your icons and some of their history. As oldtoadwoman says, it's a wonderful way to answer this prompt!

Thank you. I don't know why it bothered me so, but I was happy to be able to contribute in some way.
