Round 1: Nostalgia

[r_tt_n]

Hamtaro as a franchise completely rewired my brain chemistry when I was a child. I believe I would be a very different person if I grew up without its influence. Hamtaro Ham-Ham Heartbreak is a wonderful game and I've been toying with the idea of replaying it

I was so obsessed with Vocaloid in my early/mid teens (I used to spend all my free time watching Vocaloid videos on Youtube), and then with k-pop in my mid/late teens. This is from the MV of "FLOWER POWER" by Girls' Generation/SNSD (this particular song is one of their japanese releases, but it's still a k-pop group, so). I've always been weirdly fascinated with this song, and it was released when my k-pop brainrot was at its peak. I've been missing those days a lot lately...

Lovely coloring, especially the virabt red and blue in 1st two. I also like the subtle text work in the bg.

I'm ~old people~, so it was my nephew who watched Hamtaro as a child, not me, but I have this icon that I snagged from somewhere a while ago and it turns out it was made by you. :D (I don't know much about the fandom, but I have fond memories of watching it with my nephew.)

These icons are gorgeous, I especially love the clean, vibrant colors, and how the text in each of them fits so perfectly with the picture! ♡

I've seen you using this icon a couple of times before on other comms and I was so confused at first, I was like wtf I don't remember leaving a comment on this post? lol

It makes me extremely happy to see other people using my icons, so thank you for that (இ௰இ ) And thank you for your kind comment ❤

Watching Hamtaro with your nephew sounds like such a sweet memory, how nice (❁´◡`❁) It was a very cute show, I'm glad you got to experience it too♡

These are beautiful! I love the really delicate colouring in #3 - very hard to pull off like that, really. #1 and #2 and both so expressive and fun!

[r_tt_n]

Thank you very much! 💖 I think it's the first time I try anything like #3 and I'm pretty pleased with the result (❁´◡`❁)

Love that Miku icon, so cuuute,I was obsessed with the songs by vocaloids after playing Project Diva 2 on my psp!XD

Thank you~ I remember trying one of those games on my PS Vita, thankfully it was just the demo because I got my ass thoroughly kicked 🥴 rhythm games aren't my forte lol

The third one really blows me away. I love the negative space with the soft text and the pastel coloring! <3<3<3

I love the cute characters and the slightly subdued primary coloring in the other two, as well.
