could you please post/link a big picture of your icon? it intrigues me so...
aw this is such a great question. my tumblr icon is a piece of art that, according to the metadata, I saved over 20 years ago and has migrated with me across multiple laptops, and hard drives and life events, hah. Way back in the day I had been obsessed with tarot decks and fantasy art and was saving everything I could find that was Brian Froud or reminiscent of Brian Froud's style or type of faeries. I've cycled through a few of these images as my longstanding icons (though I always made room for fannish icons and was an avid LJ icon maker back in the day)
I have always wanted my icons to give off that strange faery vibe. sometimes more approachable than others. usually twinkling with mischief in some way. this image file was labelled "xc.bmp" - bitmap file. Microsoft image file. old file. two other faces of kuwdora around the internet: green face (original file name: allergy fae.gif) and pooka face:
thank you for the ask!!! ❤️
