I am sure you can see this coming (and not just because I mentioned this in my last post!) I will be putting this community onto indefinite hiatus. You remember that personal news I mentioned in my last texture post? Well, I will be having a bub in September, which means I won't be able to devote any time to this place for a good while. And lets be real, I haven't really been active on here for some time, even though I still lurk a bit. Those of you that know my story might remember I went through some pretty horrid stuff a while back, so be able to put the community on hiatus for something a bit more positive like this is a lovely change.

Rest assured, I won't be taking anything down and all my textures shall remain for as long as the imgur/DA servers are running. That said, you may want to download what you want, while you still can! The Internet is a fickle beast.

I know I have said this before but thank you - thank you for being so kind to my corner of the internet and for supporting this community all these years. And it has been YEARS. I started this community back in 2005 (!!! - holy frick I am officially old!) and it's been quite a ride seeing the icon community change and grow. Looking back through some of my older posts, I have certainly changed and grown as a we've travelled along. Geez, some of my early stuff was truly horrid, but I've kept it in place. It's good to be able to reflect on where you've come from, even if those places weren't great!

I crunched some numbers, and since the inception of soaked I have posted:

- 10757 textures (of varying sizes)
- 6871 icons (not including rejects that never made it to posting)
- 3 mood themes (remember those???)
- a small number of other random things, including wallpapers and fanmixes (before Spotify was a thing!)

So yeah, that's a lot of textures. Maybe not as many as some? But it seems like a lot for me! I've always considered my community more a texture comm than a graphics one, and I guess those numbers confirm that.

I cannot express how grateful I am for everything and I hope in some small way I have been able to help on your icon making journeys :')

Keep creating and be kind to yourself.

Take care,
Sarah

Edit 15/02/2022: Just a small update to say I had a healthy baby girl, who has now turned into healthy toddler in what seems like the blink of an eye. Thank you for all the well wishes! :)

What's this? I'm back??? Well, maybe. No promises, I'll be honest; I can't really can't commit to that! But I will say that lately I've really missed some of my old hobbies and wanted to see if the old girl could still crank out... well, something. So here I am with some icons!

There are 38 icons under the cut, including a set of 20 Book of Boba Fett icons made for monthlyinspo's Round 35: Spice Up Your Life challenge. The other 18 icons are Book of Boba Fett alternates and the remains of a Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency rejected set. I started making DGHDA icons and then veered into Boba territory and got side-tracked, aah-whoops! The Boba icons felt like they better met the challenge, but I still kind of like some of rejected set, so here we are.
