[Idea sketch] More crow icons and GIF
🕑 Added 2025-09-07 17:10:52 +0000 UTCThere were many people who liked the[ icon pack ] Crow that I uploaded a few days ago :D Thank you so much!
Usually, I move on to a new animal after completing one, but as you know, I've been really into birds lately. So here are 30 additional icons sketch - plan to finish them by the end of this month or early next month.
I added some more useful alphabet.
For apps like video, music, and shopping, the more the better, since we use more than one.
As I wrote in the post above, my production concept was based on bright keywords like the crow's vitality and intelligence. I tried to avoid images of death and fear. However, Halloween is coming up soon, so I wanted to add lively crows enjoying the holiday. I imagined them playing around in costumes.
First rough coloring. Drawing the objects that define the icon's identity in bright colors will create contrast and make it easier to identify the icon. In the next step, I add color to the lines, add some color or texture, and it's done.
Finished one! Animals with a knife are always fun lol
And animated GIFs!
It wasn't originally planned, but I just happened to make one while working on a Galaxy theme. Because a developer can add animated GIFs to the G-Flip screen!
I've made a lot of GIFs of animals, but I haven't made many of birds. So it would be nice if a few more were added. I already updated them on Giphy, and I might add them to the sticker pack later. (If you search for pikaole bird in the GIF section, you will find my gif on giphy.)
We use GIFs to express our emotions. Considering this... it would be better to blink like humans. After all, the users are humans! (So the GIF I made first is of a crow smiling with its eyes closed, it like a human expressing emotion)
However, personally, I find it fascinating when animals perform movements that are unique to them.
For example, I love how a bird's eyes appear white when it blinks. This might seem unfamiliar to many, but I'm sure there are a few people here who share my mood 🤭
Thank you!

Thanks for the feedback! I'll consider it. Even if I don't finish it this time (I'm already done with the lineup stage...😅 ), I've created two more video-related icons this time (It's in the sketch) So you can use either of them. 👍

Way too cute. Have you you considered a VLC player icon? A crow wearing the cone or peaking out could be adorable

Thanks! I love corvids too. Haha, so maybe I should draw some more Halloween-themed illustrations too. There's still some time until Halloween, so let's see what happens 🤭

I LOVE the spooky crows for Halloween! 🎃🥰 Especially the one sitting atop a bird skull. I love corvids no matter what theme though! Can't wait to see what the final theme design is 🖤
