Thank you sweetie! I do love greens (jade, celadon, turquoise, seafoam, etc) but getting that yellow/blue balance right is tough.

I'm trying to remember how I got that shade of blueish-green on the icon. it's not part of the default texture in ipiccy. I think I when I added that texture to the left side of the icon I selected the desaturated option for b/w, then went to hue/saturation, selected a shade from her eyes with the "eyedropper" tool and painted that over the textured area.

Something like that. Her eye color isn't really accurate to the original cap anyway, but it turned out nicely.

As a contribute to your inspiration I'll use an icon with green in it.

Thank you! That shade of green is an interesting example of a very yellow-green, and a little bright for my taste, but if I were playing with the icon I'd turn down the exposure overall and desaturate the green a tiny bit to make Buffy's face really pop. OTOH - that icon wouldn't be as interesting if the background were a single color plain black, it's the bands of color that make it interesting.

Also? that image from SR gives me so many feels

I'm actually really excited about a new idea and maybe I will write again soon. :D

YAY!
