So I'm applying again at good_fanicons. I think I'm a glutton for punishment. They've rejected me three times before! *facepalm* But while putting together my app, I looked at my last app and I really really think I've improved - I still like those icons, but objectively I don't think I would have accepted me either. Now I do a lot more experimenting with colors and composition and stuff. So. I have a chance, I think, maybe? I just think getting into there would get me a wider audience and more exposure. Anywho, here are the icons I applied with, more for my own personal reference than anything.

I finished that STUPID lab report, and now I'm going to SLEEP (I'm actually dizzy with exhaustion, it's no fun >.<)

I love iconmaking, too, but every now and then I get phases where I just need a bigger canvas. So I'll find myself making banners, wallpapers, cards and silly manips *g*

As I said I got them by simply taking three stock images and playing around with different blend modes. Really, the sets I've made are addicting, I had to stop myself to not go overboard. The way I do them is also an interesting cropping exercise. It's almost got me thinking about a new variation challenge ;D But I guess the need for texture challenges is very small indeed. Did you like the sets (now that you've seen them completely)?

They are lovely sets! Really, I like them a lot, and I've seen lots of textures. You should make it your thing, maybe! You know, some people make lots of icon tools, and I think that would be really cool. But yeah, they're great hon :)

Yeah, I know there are resource makers out there. I never really considered it for myself, because you need some skills for that, too, but maybe if I get a little more into blendmodes and distorting pictures and enlargen my picture stock a little I might start doing that. Or at least play around with stuff a little. Anyways, I'm glad you like them. :D
