Hi guys, I'm Ollin Boer Bohan, designer of the other icon, been subscribed to this mailing list for a while.
Here's a quick image of the MyPaint icon I made, showing all currently completed sizes. I'm happy to create any other hinted sizes needed [Jakub mentioned 24px and 48px?] and put it under whatever license is needed. I've been using MyPaint [Via MacPorts] to sketch my icons for years now, and I'd love to give something back to the project if I can. As a bonus, the icon is designed entirely in FOSS software–Blender and GIMP, just like all of my other icons. Of course, it's up to the devs to decide if they want a new icon, and, if so, what direction to go with it. Just thought I'd share my work and see if anyone's interested.
