reiterating that I'm not updating anymore :)⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀Billions of combinations! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀(not an exaggeration, do the math :D) ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀[ LGBTQ+ Icon Creator ] Edit: 6/10/21 Featured?!?! Oh my gosh darn goodness, I can't tell you how happy this makes me! Thank you so much to ST and the people who proposed <33 I'm getting an overload of messages right now (nearly 2k when I woke up), but I read every single message and try to respond to a lot of them! --- Hello all you guys, gals, and non-binary pals! June is right around the corner, and with it Pride Month, so I thought I would release this icon creator just a little early for you all to make some pride profile pictures for the month of Gae! Click the buttons on the menu to mix, match, and create your very own, very proud icon <33 If you find any bugs, please notify me in a comment! Suggestions are also encouraged <3 To any of you who saw this on April 4th, yup. I accidentally shared it xDD And yea, that's how long I've been working on this :p --- Before You Begin: As this is an LGBTQ+ icon creator, I just wanted to note that there is no way to use it otherwise! (You can't make it not queer) Since not all the outfits work with the pins, there is an option to not have a pin, but you always have to have a pride background. AND HEY no hate please <333 Only good vibes here :3 --- A Quick Note: Notice some similarities between this project and @ceebee's Pride Icon Creator? So do I! I derived a whole lot of inspiration from it theme-wise, and the rest came from my general icon creator knowledge. Check out @ceebee's icon creator here: https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/227280171/ --- What is Pride Month / Pride / Gay? Pride Month is an event that happens each June to celebrate and take pride in the identities of people in the LGBTQ+ community. LGBTQ+ stands for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer/Questioning, and the plus encompasses all the many other romantic orientations, sexualities, gender identities, and everything else that Pride celebrates! More recently, people have extended the acronym (I believe the most updated one is LGBTQQIP2SAA+), but I usually prefer to use LGBTQ+ because it's shorter to write and still doesn't leave anyone out, especially since queer is an umbrella term <3 You don't have to be part of the community to celebrate Pride, anyone can take part and be a supportive ally! I plan on creating a Pride dictionary for "beginners" with some basic LGBTQ+ terms, so I'll put the link here when I finish. --- Finishing Up Once you finish your icon, click the check mark (hover over the edge to make it pop up) to make the menu disappear, then use the directions below to help you save the image! 1. On Chromebooks: ctrl + shift + [] |||, and select only the project screen, or don't hit shift, and you'll get a screenshot of your entire screen! crop afterwards :D 2. Windows: Windows + Prt Scrn (I believe), then use the link below to crop the image if you wish. 3. You can also right-click on the project image to save it and then crop it! Feel free to remix to save your creations as well <3 If you want to use your icon as a profile picture, try using this website to crop it and CREDIT ME on your profile! https://www.iloveimg.com/crop-image (crop to 360 by 360 pixels) --- Can't quite make yourself? Requests are open again! This icon creator doesn't have to be finished! There's so much I know I must have missed in this little project, so if you can't find an option that represents you, tell me in the comments! I will be happy to add any elements that you might need, as long as it's within my skill set xDD I absolutely encourage you to request pride pins/backgrounds if you don't see one that you like! (Those are super easy to make) --- FAQ/Complaints and Answers Q: How do I make black/brown hair? A: Click the paintbrush button to make the color orange or yellow, then darken with the sun button! Q: Are you gay? A: Yes <3 https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/535412913/ Q: I have a suggestion! A: Great, but please read the future updates list first to make sure the suggestion isn't already on the list! Q: *Insert hate in a language other than English* A: Y'all... Google translate is a thing. I can read ALL of your mean comments and will report them! Q: Can you add boys? A: This icon creator isn't meant to be for any one specific gender! Everyone should be able to make a character in whatever gender they want. I have both short and long hair, eyes that might have mascara or eyeliner on and eyes without lashes at all, and many other elements that could help anyone to create themselves, whoever they might be. If you don't feel you're represented, however, let me know! I can add new options to help you out. --- Check out some customization options below!
