A small illustration resulted from attempt to make an icon for the Voyager app. Thought it would fit here. Any feedback appreciated.

Definitely too detailed for an app icon, but I love the detail of the ear being the antenna on the voyager probe!

Thanks! It's really hard to stop adding details when it's a painting instead of a vector 😄

I think a basic gradient background with some stars might work better. Also worth noting that most app icons are made as a vector instead of bitmap painting

Usually yes, but this time devs explicitly suggested raster format and provided some illustrations in similar style as a reference. Although they ended up selecting vectorish variant anyway so never mind :)

Late comment but what does the vector version look like?

Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn't work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: [email protected]
