I’m back with several more community icons: check out Artemis (future kbin app), Urban Details, 3D Modeling and some other stuff

Honestly, I’ve been really enjoying making these, probably the most I’ve been excited to model something for months. So I exchanged some sleep for a faster turnaround :) Previous post here

Upd: here are the links to images on transparent backgrounds for creators to use on their pages: purple and green Artemis, 3D modeling

Artemis: icon
Looking at their logo, I assumed the name was related to the hunting goddess, so this icon just had to be a quiver. It holds 7 arrows for good luck and is partially draped over to signify the app’s unfinished state, and as a nod to how the goddess herself is often depicted clothed in a flowing toga-type garment.

And since the current icon uses the pride flag as its background, I figured Artemis would definitely wear a pride pin on her quiver. And besides the original color scheme I also stumbled upon a fun-looking natural colorway. Plus a similarly cosy purple version :)

Here’s the logo alone, btw. Sorry I changed it a bit, but those two thinner lines weren’t working that well for the quiver piece imo.
@hariette, what do you think?

Urban Details: icon
So this one took the most time. You have no idea how many different buildings and road arrangements I went through :)

It’s meant for a community that I started which aims to celebrate various interesting details about cities, from tiny local Easter eggs to city-encompassing infrastructure projects. Just stuff that makes life either better or more fun.

The icon turned out to have some serious /fuckcars vibe, but I guess it fits well enough. I got a few interesting lighting setups while experimenting with the model, so I included a night scene as well.

3D Modeling: icon
I made a quick icon for this community the last time, but had a better idea and had to try it out. I think it encompasses the topic way better than before.
@lavender, I summon thee to check out the updated icon :)

Want one?
Again, if you’re the owner of a kbin community and would like to have a similar icon, comment here to discuss it. I’m mostly making these during my free time on weekends, so I probably won't be able to make more than a couple pieces a week in the future.

I commented below to have some of the icons displayed inline, so that you don't have to click every link. Is that more convenient? Let me know if it clutters the comments and I should delete those.

    • Thanks for tackling the Artemis logo! I gotta say, really enjoy reading your though process with a lot of the elements. You for sure nailed the vibe!

      Do you have a ko-fi?

      • Thank you! I do, my username is vladimirfer

        Btw, did I totally misread your logo? Is it supposed to be a spaceship in front of the moon instead of a bow and arrow? I feel like an idiot :)

        • It's all of the above! Plus an upvote arrow! Artemis is all about the hunt and being from the moon. so you got it right :)

          • I used to only see the space ship and thought it was great, then thanks to this I saw the bow and arrow and absolutely love that as well.

            Such a cool logo!! Looking forward to the app. :)

    • OMGGGG. @fearout.... this is amazing! I love it!

    • This is crazy cool!
