Community Info

 

What is simplelimit about?
It's about simple, high-quality, non-fandom icons. That means no Lost, no Alias, no Harry Potter, no Buffy, no Full Metal Alchemist. No fandom.

Whatever do you mean by simple?
By simple I mean ascetic, clean and simple. NOT cluttered with textures, brushes, obnoxious text, etc. Here's an example.
yay VS nay

High quality?
High quality means that blurry jpegs won't get you in. Example:
yay VS nay

Anything else?
Well - interesting cropping, colouring and *simple* embellishments are well seen.
No animations, sorry.

If not fandom... then what?!
Art (not fanart, though). Stock images. Sky is the limit. Animals, landscapes, flowers, objects, whatever you want. A few links:
stock exchange
getty
iStock photo
acclaim images
stocks @ deviantart
