Honestly, I’ve been really enjoying making these, probably the most I’ve been excited to model something for months. So I exchanged some sleep for a faster turnaround :) Previous post here
Upd: here are the links to images on transparent backgrounds for creators to use on their pages: purple and green Artemis, 3D modeling
Artemis: icon
Looking at their logo, I assumed the name was related to the hunting goddess, so this icon just had to be a quiver. It holds 7 arrows for good luck and is partially draped over to signify the app’s unfinished state, and as a nod to how the goddess herself is often depicted clothed in a flowing toga-type garment.

And since the current icon uses the pride flag as its background, I figured Artemis would definitely wear a pride pin on her quiver. And besides the original color scheme I also stumbled upon a fun-looking natural colorway. Plus a similarly cosy purple version :)
Here’s the logo alone, btw. Sorry I changed it a bit, but those two thinner lines weren’t working that well for the quiver piece imo.
@hariette, what do you think?
Urban Details: icon
So this one took the most time. You have no idea how many different buildings and road arrangements I went through :)

It’s meant for a community that I started which aims to celebrate various interesting details about cities, from tiny local Easter eggs to city-encompassing infrastructure projects. Just stuff that makes life either better or more fun.
The icon turned out to have some serious /fuckcars vibe, but I guess it fits well enough. I got a few interesting lighting setups while experimenting with the model, so I included a night scene as well.

3D Modeling: icon
I made a quick icon for this community the last time, but had a better idea and had to try it out. I think it encompasses the topic way better than before.
@lavender, I summon thee to check out the updated icon :)
Want one?
Again, if you’re the owner of a kbin community and would like to have a similar icon, comment here to discuss it. I’m mostly making these during my free time on weekends, so I probably won’t be able to make more than a couple pieces a week in the future.
I commented below to have some of the icons displayed inline, so that you don’t have to click every link. Is that more convenient? Let me know if it clutters the comments and I should delete those.
These renders are incredible. I enjoy playing around with Blender sometimes myself, but my skills are limited to placing a few simple blocks ;)
Wow, the man himself :) Thanks.
I plan to share the files with all the base shapes and keyshot lighting setups in a few days, just need to clean up all the current chaos in them.Btw, do you want a similar icon for some community?
Hell yeah ;) It seems like I’ve got one thing off my mind so far, so things will start getting organized here soon.
Thanks for tackling the Artemis logo! I gotta say, really enjoy reading your though process with a lot of the elements. You for sure nailed the vibe!
Do you have a ko-fi?
OMGGGG. @fearout… this is amazing! I love it!
Alternative cozy Artemis
so cozyyyy. Really like this one a lot! We got two magazines. So for sure can put both to good use :D
@fearout These are so creative and beautiful! Love that you actually thought about the symbolism of each topic and worked that into the design!
Alternative Urban Details
We have a Danish kbin instance. It would be awesome with a logo for the whole instance. So far, I’ve just tinkered a bit with the original logo as you can see on the page: https://kbin.dk
Do you have something specific in mind?
It could be something simple based on the flag. Perhaps blending from the colours of the original kbin logo into the red and white of the flag?
If fancy, the contour of the map (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denmark#/media/File:Da-map.png) could be shown as a 3d effect in the front-facing part of the shape.This one where the front blends over in the Danish flag would be awesome: https://media.kbin.dk/50/a9/50a9ee9cf39855e7f6348f3a78551db86425f38bc71b9f2c0fae1cc622bcb4c2.jpg
I’ll see what I can do.
Sure, feel no pressure!
Fantastic work you’ve been doing.I’ve attached your mini icon. The rest is here :)
woah, I saw your work in @JewelryDesign the other day and now here you are!! These are amazing! (although I feel slightly compelled to say that Artemis does have an official logo and it is not this, since I’m helping test Artemis and I take branding kind of seriously) But these are incredible! I would subscribe to a magazine simply called /m/3dkbinicons haha
Btw, such a community exists. Check out @kbinicons
niiiiiiiiiiiice, subbed
