For sheep that dream of Dreamwidth.

I did a zodiac set using the symbols, will try later the other way (lion, ram, bull), as soon as I figure out how to represent a sheep as virgin, or waterbearer, or scales ... o.O'

Anyway. I tried this three times, and I think the second version is my favorite. The first one is my attempt to do some paper sheep, but it was a source of much frustration. Therefore, second set, with the cartoonish look my basic icons have -- and then the third set, their pastel version. I used red/pink coloring for the Fire signs, brown/orange for the Earth ones, blue for Air and green for Water. If somebody wants a different coloring (or no coloring at all) feel free to ask.

Virgo's three versions follow, the others can be found behind the cut. They are in inverse alphabetical order because PhotoBucket is being an idiot. As always, original base by helens78, icons by jerico_cacaw. Shareable, no credit needed.

ETA: I didn't particularly like this version of Libra (my sign), and am looking for a more simple version of it. If any of you would like a different version of your sign, feel free to point me in the direction of the one you'd prefer.

I discovered 9 of my 15 icon slots are empty and started making dreemsheep in unusual color combinations (unusual for me, anyway). This is the result: the first one (kirsch) uses my DW journal color's combination. The second (foggy) consists of white spotted lines in a back background with a white glow. The third (emo) is inspired in a graffiti found at a tattoo parlor.

Two weeks ago I mentioned I wanted to do a scuba diving dreamsheep. I've been playing with a related idea, a snorkeling sheep, for the last two days -- which one do you prefer? The first two use a 'wet sheep' image instead of the usual white for the sheep's body, the third is a very soft blue, for an underwater feel. All three wear face masks (is it clear?), and the first one has a snorkel too. The background image is a sleeping nurse shark :D.



( Also, two 'peace symbol' purple sheep, requested by talkingpenguins27 )

Not really colorbars (for starters, the first color left-to-right should have been red, but I find myself liking DW!pink more). These are hosted in photobucket, so I suggest saving them in your own photo hosting account and changing the link.

More traveling dreamsheep icons! It took me longer than the last ones because work was awful awful -- but these ones helped me relax ;P.


( Twelve icons, total )

I included a pink on pink dreamsheep icon in my first post to this community. The collection is now complete with 8 different colors, total :D.



( I'm missing some colors, of course ... )

So, following with yesterday's post about familiar backgrounds, I a) cut the dreamsheep in half, b) moved the dreamsheep down and to the side and c) made it smaller. The results are the next:



( I think that shrinking it looks better, but ... )
