*drama begins*

Hello!

I lay another glance on preview image of 'Natsu', [link] my first icon set. I read the artist's comment that I myself post a year ago back then. It said:

_{I like art that have warm 'handmade" feeling, the non-perfection and non-symmetry. Therefore I create these icons with handmade drawing and traditional watercolour painting. So, this icon set is suited for people who love simply natural looking more than digital look.}

Icon that is... not perfect?I used to said that.
But it's like I forget what I said completely lately. The way to become professional force me to create the ' perfect art' (in this case, a perfect iconset) with smooth edge, perfect outline, etc.

No, not this time. Art should be fun.

Therefore I decide to create something that back to basic, simple and down to earth. Icon that remind me of simple life, icon that the beauty is its imperfection.

*end of drama*

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Progress: This time my watercolour (wallpaper) is very freestyle, I don't care about smooth gradient or perfect painting. I just follow what my hand leads. I think I'll made a few more wallpapers and include them in the pack.

but...I think the icon need some tweak (I think the outline is too bright - _{(but hey, that's the imperfection I want, right?}) :/

What do you think? What do you think about imperfect icon and painting? Feel free to share your opinion.

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Note: The japanese text on the polaroid is from Oku Hanako's Garnet [link] It can be translated as:

_{I will store the days I spent with you in my heart
so that I won't have to remember them
Even if one day I'll fall in love with someone else
You will be always special and dear to me}

sweet, eh? : )
