2:17 am - Sleep? Bah...icons
|
Really, really, REALLY should be in bed right now. But I'm not. I made a few icons on the long-ass plane trip, and I'm actually quite proud of them, which is surprising considering that I was feeling not-so-good about my icon making ability after visiting the journals of some really, REALLY talented people. But I guess airplanes bring out the best of me or something. Oh, and in case you hadn't noticed I have fallen in love with gradients. Just a little.
Fruits Basket (cutest anime EVER):
1. 2. 3. 4.
X & Pretear:
1. 2.
Buffy:
1. 2. 3.
Notes:
Fruits Basket: #2&3-Tohru is such a bubbly, optimistic character...I like how I chose one of the ONLY angsty shots of her I've seen in the first 13 or so episodes. I think that says something about me... #4-In case you were curious, that white scribble says "bleed"; it was a brush and I thought it looked cool and fit with the icon
Buffy: #2&3: At the time I added the quote, I wasn't sure if it was "weary" or "wary." Both work, though. In case you were wondering, it is actually "wary" (from "Here in my Room" by Incubus--took from buffy_chorus 'cause they've got the best quote ideas for icons)

12:24 am - I *heart* love

STIL avoiding French.Did a little, but tomorrow morning I have to do more. I HATE this.
Two romantic icons. Since I have no romance in my life I get it vicariously through icon making. That is so sad...
1.  2.

11:18 am - Credit where credit's due
|
Because I can't make caps or brushes, I must rely on the kindness of strangers. And these strangers deserve credit for their wonderful work. If I have somehow overlooked you, and you notice that you are not credited, just alert me on my latest post and I will credit you ASAP. Oh, and if anyone knows a site with really good Charmed caps that feature Cole (Julian McMahon) please tell me. I've found a few sites, but nothing with anything really good, and not with exactly what I'm looking for.

10:45 pm - Finally, icons for my icon journal
|

So...yeah. I am so saddened by my early icons. They stunk. A lot. But I'm getting better! But I'm really slow at making icons still. I made TWO tonight in the span of about 2-3 hours, which is a long time for two fairly basic icons. Anywho, when I get enough icons for a decent batch I'll post them. And I made my first post for my eyes only because it contained my first six or so icons which are just so bad they're depressing. I do not want anyone besides me to see them.
And the icons I entered into contests? Didn't win ANYTHING. They were like some of the only icons not to win anything in the contests. It's easy to see why now. Even though it was some of my best work at that point early on in my icon-making career, they were still really bad compared to most people's. Hopefully the icons I'm so proud of now will stand the test of time. We'll see.

7:18 am - Contests
|
I entered two contests: kinga_chorus and legend_icons. We'll see how it goes. I think it was really some of my better work, but I saw some of the other entries...which were amazing...and a littl beyond my skills. So I won't be sad if I don't even place. No way am I getting 1st or 2nd-maybe 3rd or less if I had an AMAZING stroke of luck. But, this is just to get my icons out there, get some practice, and have fun. And, some day I'll place.
Oh, and can I just say that icon_tutorial and 100x100_brushes are a Godsend? I'd still be stuck without any halfway decent brushes and without a BUNCH of fairly basic techniques that were unknown to me. Thank you, kind people of the internet.
I'll post some new icons this weekend. My two new icons are in the contests, and they can't be posted here until after the contest ends. Not that anyone reads this journal but me, but whatever.
