this is my blog where I experiment with editing things like icons and stamps! also maybe stimboards but that’s more likely going on my other blog @wintersawsbuck
this is all for fun and I’m sort of a beginner, so expect silly things and nothing groundbreaking ^^’
I do take requests! rules and other details are under the cut ^^ (as well as a byf and a tag guide)

this blog was heavily inspired by @shinyedits go check their blog out ^^

request info
rules:
no nsfw requests. i am a minor. requests like “can i have a stamp of yingyang from inanimate insanity with the text balls” are fine but nothing more than that
don’t expect me to do every single request. this is just for fun
be kind. again this is just for fun
I will not make things that involve suicide or hypnosis due to personal discomfort.
I’ll also only take requests for the following fandoms:
Pokémon
Warrior Cats (only official art will be used! I likely will struggle with anything post aVoS as that’s around where i stopped but I don’t mind spoilers)
Pokémon themed stamp templates! These were so fun to make! The Poké Ball ones are recolours I made of stamp templates made by @caterpillar-with-a-crayon, teachy tv is also a recolour but I added more pixels to the template. (If you use these please link back to this post)
drawn by me, but there are only so many ways you can draw a 'basic' stamp outline ദ്ദി（• ˕ •マ
credit is appreciated but not required ! jus don't claim (the base) as yours. (when crediting, feel free to tag me. i love seeing whats being made ! /nf)
More stamp templates: zzoom , inky , catwebp , caterpillar
━━╋ while you are here, please be sure to see fleaseditstuff post about some popular stamp templates.
If you don’t mind me asking, how do you make your icons?
i don't mind at all!! i'm always glad to help!! i use photoshop, so what works for me might not work for you if you're using different software. although, as long as you're using something with Layer Mask, Clipping Mask, and Stroke functions, it should be fine.
what you need is a transparent icon mask, a background (a simple pattern or pride flag works best for me) and a transparent image of the character.
set your pattern layer above your icon mask layer, and set it as a clipping mask. (in photoshop, right click on the pattern layer, and "create clipping mask")
bring in the character, scale and position them as you'd like. then, optionally but recommended, add a "stroke" outline to both your character and the icon mask. (in photoshop, right click the layer, this is under blending options.)
select the "inner bounds" of your icon mask, i usually do this by using the magic wand tool on the icon mask layer. then, on your image layer, use your selection to make a vector mask (on ps, click the "vector mask" symbol here.)
you should end up with something like this! click on the layer mask thumbnail (the white shape with the black background), get a white pen, and colour in white over any extra parts you want to "pop out". (colour in black does the opposite, it's useful if you want to "erase" or clean up.)
and there ya go! icons! there's a couple other things you can do, like adding adjustment layers to filter the image or change the colours, but i'm not sure if that's possible in all softwares, and it's far from necessary.
a plethora of circular icon masks with accompanying symbols.
last one was made with the colors of the flag of Palestine, if you want to use it that way
use these however you want, but please mind my dni and credit my main.
