Copied from when someone on tumblr asked me the same question:
My memory of the order things happened in is a bit spotty, but if I go by my YouTube watch history, then no, not explicitly. I made this icon in May 2020, and YouTube says I first came across Kēlen in December 2021. Kēlen is very cool though, both aesthetically and functionally.
I've always loved interlace designs. If I had to guess I was most likely thinking specifically of this Minecraft texture I made back in August 2019 when I made my icon.
